Few things could come closer to that clichéd fantasy of young girls, to be married to a dashing prince in an extravagant wedding, than the nuptials of celebrities and billionaires. These weddings can be events that draw thousands of guests, feature lavish decorations and include performances by superstar musicians.
The wedding of Vanisha Mittal, daughter of world’s 8th richest person Lakshmi Mittal, to investment banker Amit Bhatia was the most expensive wedding in the world. The six-day event was held in Versailles in 2004 and included a reenactment of the couple’s courtship, an engagement ceremony at the Palace of Versailles—the only private function ever held in the palace—and performances by Shah Rukh Khan and Kylie Minogue.
The elder Mittal footed the bill for the wedding, reportedly spending $55 million to see his daughter happily married.

I guess money can buy anything in this case.. but still it cannot buy happiness … (if the bride didn’t feel happy about it)
we as parents do anything to keep our childrens happy, but their are exceptions and that is just too much
UMMMM… LETS JUST GO TO THE JUDGE AND GET MARRIED RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT DRESSING UP. ILL RATHER USE MY MONEY FOR PS3 AND GAMES.
Hope it lasts. You could have fed the whole country!
insane
Nigahiga: are you even the father of the bride? nope! so you can spend your money on games. and i doubt you’d have to worry anyways, all the gamers i meet are unfornate looking virgins. the end!
So sad, they could help lots of poor people and children with that money. Sometimes people like them get blind, and sometimes they don’t even know to how spend their money.
she is divorced now and what was the use of that much money god do something with this ppl lol
55M is nothing if you're worth 45B. That's like a me having 1M and spending only $1200 on a wedding. It's a mere pin prick.
I say if you got the money to do it then go for it your only suppose to get married once in your life!
The best of flowers, food, beverages, photography, music, rings, clothing, and honeymoom. When money is no obect, why not spend it on a magnificent wedding? Just because most people cannot afford to be this extravagent, is no reason to be envious of those who can.
That money is too much for a wedding.
