They are one of the richest families in the world, so when it comes to a wedding, it is not going to be a small family gathering.

The niece of billionaire Lakshmi Mittal tied the knot earlier this month during a three-day, £50m party in Barcelona.

Shristi Mittal, 26, was surrounded by musical fountains, 200 butlers, had national museums closed to the public and was served food from a Michelin-starred chef during the extravaganza.

Is it me, or is there something obscene about this scenario?

i understand wealthy people flaunting their wealth, but these excesses are downright obscene, given the state India is in right now.

HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT WEDDING COST $50 MILLION POUNDS OR $82 MILLION DOLLARS ? 

 

* No question it was an ostentatious wedding.

 

* But don't be gullible folks.

 

* No way it cost 82 million dollars.

 

* Having said that---Laxshmi Mittal's net worth is around 16 billion dollars---82 million is a drop in the bucket for him---if he is the one who paid for his niece's wedding.

 

* But 50 million pounds or 82 million dollars for the wedding---that number is hugely exaggerated folks.
