Mumbai — International pop sensation Justin Bieber is set to perform at the sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant on July 5. The singer, who previously canceled his October 2022 concert in India due to health issues, is making a grand return for this exclusive event. Reports indicate that Bieber, 30, will earn a staggering $10 million for his performance at the pre-wedding festivities.
This isn’t the first time the Ambanis have enlisted a global superstar for their celebrations. The Ambani family has a history of hosting renowned international artists for their lavish events, and Bieber is the latest addition to this star-studded tradition.

In 2018, Beyoncé graced the pre-wedding festivities of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal in Udaipur. Her nearly hour-long private concert featured three costume changes and a setlist of 10 songs, including hits like “Déjà Vu,” “Green Light,” “Crazy In Love,” and “Run The World (Girls).” Beyoncé reportedly earned between $3 and $4 million (₹21-28 crore) for the performance, with some reports suggesting she took home ₹38 crore.
Earlier this year, Rihanna performed at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The “Diamonds” singer was reportedly paid an impressive ₹74 crore for her private concert, which included popular tracks such as “Bitch Better Have My Money,” “Wild Thoughts,” “Rude Boy,” “Work,” “We Found Love,” “Umbrella,” and “Diamonds.”
Following Rihanna, pop icon Katy Perry performed at another pre-wedding celebration for Anant and Radhika on a cruise in Italy last month. Perry’s performance reportedly cost the Ambanis ₹45 crore.
