The actual wedding ceremony was a relatively smaller event with a guest-list of 600 people, but no less opulent. Nuptials were held at Antilia, the Ambani family’s 27-story Mumbai home that’s worth $2 billion and is the second most expensive residential property in the world after Buckingham Palace.
