The star-studded event featured 2,000 animals, a fireworks show, and a two-hour performance by Rihanna. Videos from the extravagant party show Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan chatting to guests Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton.

They were also seen admiring the groom's $1million Richard Mille watch, which featured Koi Fish models and bezel set diamonds. Priscilla joked she "might want that", while her husband commented: "You know I never really wanted a watch but after seeing that I was like, 'watches are cool'."

Literally commodity fetishism happening in real time. marx-joker

Before the big bash, guests were given a nine-page dress code

The bride-to-be is the daughter of billionaire Shri Viren Merchant, CEO of private health firm Encore Healthcare. Ambani is the youngest son of India's richest man Mukesh Ambani.

So this is the fail-son of a billionaire who profited off building clothing sweatshops all over India and the fail-daughter of a billionaire who profits off exploitative medical care (which should be free and nationalized).

Radhika and RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani visited a number of temples across the country earlier this year to offer prayers. Radhika and Mukesh Ambani, along with RIL director Manoj Modi, paid a visit to the Shrinathji temple in September. They then went to Kerala's Guruvayur Shri Krishna Temple and Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati Balaji Temple. Mukesh Ambani donated Rs 1.5 crore to the nearby Tirumala hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara.

Oh, they're philanthropists. All is forgiven! https://www.wionews.com/trending/who-is-radhika-merchant-know-details-about-her-father-viren-merchants-net-worth-and-her-fiancee-anant-ambani-547773

By the way, Lord Venkateshwara is supposed to give wealth to all who worship him. It worked for these two, maybe it will work for you too. https://www.venkateswara.org.uk/shrines/lord-venkateshwara-balaji

aside from abuse of people and animals, the luxury designer watch affectation has got to be the move that irritates me the most. i judge expensive watches SO hard.

i just imagine going up to them to shake their hand, but instead clutching their wrist and smashing the face of their bulgari chronograph or whatever onto a door jamb, the corner of a desk, or some other exposed and unforgiving surface.

--just read the article, edit--

the pic of the bridge and groom is hilarious. she looks like a model and he looks like 90% of his bowel movements would be categorized as "emergency diarrhea".
