They spent like 0.1% of "their wealth" on it. The wedding wasn't too crazy you're just too poor to comprehend. There's levels to this thing.

[@havelor]

so their networth is 730 000 000 000 USD? that sounds exagerrated.

[@pmt7483]

Indian weddings are long and costly affair! It’s not a new thing to us. This one particular feels different because the person involved is a billionaire, so the scale simply multiplies. A common wedding in India costs about 2 to 3 years of your total earning. Now imagine 2 to 3 years of earning of Ambani.

[@Dubeyruby]

I pay land tax,water bill,electricity bill to fund government irrespective of me not able to fund my children education but government can’t impose wealth tax for funding

[@ishimwegilbert4274]

do they have 600 million dollars earned as salaries of family members over the period of lifetime till now , with legal taxes paid??? are they defaulting on bank loans, like mallaya etc....

[@abh1ror]

No, to your disappointment no😂

[@thepagalpanti2004]

😂 without naming modi india propaganda is not complited

[@sandeepreddy9415]

Exactly !

[@cirus4460]

India richness is with only with few people, we are poorest country in terms of human development index with GDP per captia earning of aprox $5 USD day tells our real situation.

[@lalitharavindran]

Wealth disparity is so wide and all around. Ugly display.

[@siran424]

It should be 10 dollars a day now not 5.

[@Kalinga_3]

Much of his wealth come from retail brands. What's the role of the Government here ?

[@joenewcfd]

amazing wedding！Spending money is good for Indian economy.

[@ishimwegilbert4274]

Its shear wastage of publics money. why to give so much money to foreigner singers and others ,, and so elaborate arrangement. Do they have evidence of earning that much of legal money for the family members, or they have just spent that much money from business accounts and will show it in business books, to avoid taxes. and then will give less dividends to share holders. pathetic scene without any control.

[@userinflow]

His worth 110+ billion dollars bitxch !!!!!

[@josephsebastian3492]

Yes. Dont think that their business is too small . They have business with allmost all Indian family.. and what's the population do you think India is having? India is a very large market bro 😊

[@navinsingh5462]

They have spent their money... Now Ambani wealth is reduced and distributed among many ... Income equality...

[@Neeleish_cr_gaawre]

600$m spent but neary 500$m pumped in indian economy like aviation hotels textiles media all industry is happy coz of one weeding its generated many employment in india

[@userinflow]

@@Neeleish_cr_gaawre Yeah!!! Some anti indian ret@rds cannot understand this coz they lack broad thinking. 😂

[@MB-dp1rj]

Beyond revolting! A truly narcissistic display.

[@sahilbhatnagar4757]

They spent like 0.1% of their wealth on it. The wedding wasn't too crazy you're just too poor to comprehend.

[@koiguidenishikigoi4972]

That's what I think when I see a European family going to the grocery store.

[@TheGoodGuy27]

Your jealousy against someone who is spending his own money for his own son's wedding is the only thing wrong here.

[@rinynewton8297]

Pfff I am all for sharing! 😅

[@mogambo4565]

That dude is not gonna live long that's why they are overdoing his wedding. His other kids got married but not with this much hoopla.

[@folukeatoyebi1110]

Congratulations 😆😍😍

[@LewisMarkMonticello]

😮

[@userinflow]

Finally !!!!😂😂😂

[@jaiho5297]

West is not able digest India's richness. Europe is crying & dying.

[@cirus4460]

India is not rich mate, we are poorest country similar to Bangladesh when compared with GDP per captia. Rich is super rich and poor is poorest. We should be shame that we are in news for this reason not for any good happened for poor (as it is is not happening).

[@lalitharavindran]

Seriously?!

[@sandeepreddy9415]

Exactly! along with the propaganda.

[@rikcevlogs6414]

That's not India's richness.....that's just one man and also look at other 1.5 billion people

[@2168017]

It ain’t India’s richness but a family’s wealth

[@yelinmanu7204]

He is too fett😅

[@sherbajwa7443]

This is BJP accomplishment this sowing off cost the average citizen what a waste!!!

[@PS-ej2xn]

Take a chill pill, Pappu. 😅

[@rikcevlogs6414]

True

[@miguelzip]

What a shame, and all the rich that shamefully accept invitation, shame on you Mr Facebook, bill gates and so many others!

[@miguelzip]

I remember when Bill Gates bought his huge mansion and it was said that he needed a better view in the horizon and he leveled a mountain so the poor rich guy can see the lake or the ocean from his living room! Then you have him giving money to protect the rainforest in Brazil because "it’s the lungs of the world" so why is the mountain and fauna you destroyed to see the horizon less Important than the Amazon? Giving money to causes to clear your sins in not what I consider and wish to respect! It is actually racist, blame the uneducated trying to get a piece of the pie to survive while you are given the right to destroy a mountain! If you want my respect get that mountain back together and move to a humble home like we all need to do if we are to survive as a humanity in equal terms!

[@harambaproduction7291]

Facebook.. And bill gates has great market in india

[@harambaproduction7291]

West is not digesting indias richness
