Asia's Richest Person Preps $100 Million Wedding

India is preparing for what could be one of the world’s most lavish weddings, a spectacle that could even put the fictional nuptials in "Crazy Rich Asians" to shame.

On Wednesday, Asia’s richest man -- oil-and-telecom tycoon Mukesh Ambani -- is scheduled to give away his daughter Isha to billionaire Ajay Piramal’s son, Anand. There have been a wide range of figures for how much the week-long extravaganza will cost. People familiar with the planning estimated the expense at about $100 million, while a person close to the family said the amount is not more than $15 million. The people asked not to be identified speaking on a private matter.
