Interestingly, the record for the world's most expensive wedding is also held by an Indian. Let's find out who had the most expensive wedding in the world and how much money was spent on it.

Many weddings around the world are claimed to be the most expensive. For instance, several reports label the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana as the world's most expensive wedding, stating that $110 million was spent on it. Additionally, some reports give the title of the world's most expensive wedding to the union of Russia's Said Gutseriev and Khadija Uzhakhov. There are also claims of other weddings being the most expensive, including those of the Ambani family.

Now, let's find out which wedding is officially considered the most expensive in the world. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the most expensive wedding ever recorded was held by an Indian -- the daughter of steel magnate Lakshmi Niwas Mittal, Vanisha Mittal.

Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Niwas Mittal ranks among the wealthiest individuals globally. He has two children, a son and a daughter. This article focuses on his daughter, Vanisha Mittal, who serves as a non-independent director at ArcelorMittal. In June 2004, she was appointed to the board of directors of LNM Holdings and worked in the Procurement department, leading various initiatives.

At 43, Vanisha gained significant attention when she married businessman Amit Bhatia in 2004 at the Palace of Versailles in France. Her father spent $55 million on the wedding, which was valued at over Rs 240 crore at the time and would cost over Rs 550 crore today, making it one of the most expensive weddings in history.

The six-day wedding celebration featured a performance by Kylie Minogue, who was reportedly paid $330,000 for a 30-minute show.
