Billionaire Weddings

by Christine on August 31st, 2006

So, you think a $500,000 wedding is extravagant??? Think again!

NRI steel tycoon LN Mittal prepared a $60 million extravaganza in honour of his daughter Vanisha’s nuptials, Forbes magazine said in a report titled “Billionaire Weddings.”

Oh gawd, $60 million! How can you spend that much on a wedding?????

Well, apparently, here’s how:

- 20-page invitations in silver boxes were sent out
- 1,000 guests were put up in a five-star Paris hotel for the five-day affair for marriage of Vanisha Mittal with Amit Bhatia in June 2004.
- a party was hosted one at Versailles, while another event reportedly took place at a wooden castle temporarily erected in Parc de Saint-Cloud
- Pop signer Kylie Minogue performed at the event
- 5,000 bottles of Mouton Rothschild were emptied with wine tab estimated at $1.5 million.
- Ladies were said to have sported special henna decorations and received luxe goody bags of jewels (it would’ve been great to be one of the guests eh???)

Mittal’s wedding bash for his daughter trumps Donald Trump’s own wedding to Melania Knauss in January 2005. How did they spend their millions?

- the wedding featured 10,000 flowers, 45 chefs and a 200 lb grand marnier wedding cake.
- Guests tossed back cristal
- listened to live performances by Billy Joel and Tony Bennett.
- bride’s satin dress had a 13-foot train, 1500 rhinestones and pearls and weighed 60 lbs
