Reliance’s chairman Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son, Anant Ambani, is all set to tie the knot with industrialist Viren Merchant’s daughter, Radhika Merchant, in Gujarat’s Jamnagar (India) in July.
Their pre-wedding festivities kicked off yesterday and will continue until March 03. Many celebrities from around the world have begun arriving in the city to join in the big event.
International pop sensation Rihanna, along with her troupe, reached the venue and charmed the guests on Friday night. The pop queen arrived in the city on February 29.
The 36-year-old has cashed in a whopping $8-$9 million for her time on the first day of the pre-wedding bash. While she scored big bucks from this gig, it is still less than what Taylor Swift earns for one concert.
Rihanna’s Income From Indian Pre-Wedding Performance is Still Less Than Taylor Swift’s Concert
Rihanna has decades of chart-topping songs under her belt. Beyond being a singing sensation, she’s also a business tycoon, actress, makeup mogul, and fashionista extraordinaire.
Thanks to her numerous brands and unstoppable hustle, Rihanna’s net worth has skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping $1.4 billion, as per Forbes‘ 2023 estimates. She’s not just the richest female musician worldwide but also the second wealthiest female entertainer overall.
Recently, RiRi earned a whopping $8-$9 million (via Business Standard) for performing in Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash. But hold on, while that’s a hefty paycheck, it’s still lower compared to what Taylor Swift pulls in for just one concert.
Tay has a history of breaking records, and her Eras Tour is no exception. According to Forbes, the North American part of her tour, The Eras Tour, has made over $700 million. Once you add in the international shows starting from November, the earnings shoot up even more.
T-swizzle earns approximately $13.6 million per show. Her concerts typically last around 3 hours. The Lover singer’s current net worth sits at a staggering $1.1 billion (as per Bloomberg).
Recently, she became the sole female musician on Forbes’ list of highest-paid entertainers in 2022. A significant portion of her $92 million earnings for the year, about 70%, came from re-recordings of her past albums.

She also performed one of her famous songs, Work, released back in 2016. This song was marked as the Barbados’ native’s return to her Caribbean roots after moving towards mainstream music.
After the electrifying show, Rihanna caught an early morning flight from Jamnagar. She was seen at the airport wearing a pink gown and a head covering.
