Mark Zuckerberg Breaks His Tradition By Wearing 'Loud Luxury' Items In One Rare Occasion

29/02/2024

Wedding. Some people consider it a sacral ceremony one must experience at least once in their lifetime.

Such special occasion, where two people come together to formalize their union, is a celebration of commitment, unity, and the beginning of a new chapter in life.

Because of this, the atmosphere is filled with love, joy, and the promise of forever.

And also because of this, some people make use of the ceremony and make it more than just about exchanging vows and rings.

And for rich people, it can be a lot more than that.

Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, an Indian billionaire businessman, and Radhika Merchant.

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, attended the Anant Ambani family's pre-wedding celebrations with his wife, Priscilla Chan, in a way they are not known for.

During the private three-day event in Gujarat, India, guests were given a nine-page dress code for the various events.

This prompted Zuckerberg and Chan to try "loud luxury" clothing.

As oppose to "quiet luxury" items that are expensive but don't necessarily scream their worth, loud luxury items tend to be outrageous and draw attention.

In this case, Zuckerberg began the celebrations on the first day by wearing Alexander McQueen's firefly-themed black suit, which is priced at $7,000.

And as for Chan, she wore a $15,000-worth floor-length gown that features bold gold floral accents around the breast.

Then, on the second day, the couple ramped things up a notch.

Zuckerberg wore a shimmering tigress-themed shirt designed by Rahul Mishra, a custom that is made available only by request.

At night, Zuckerberg outfit was also modeled after wildlife with flowers and other foliage designs, whereas Chan wore a two-piece outfit decorated with nature-themed adornments like two gold birds.

These outfits are also designed by Mishra.

As the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has led the company he co-founded in 2004, and made it the largest social media platform the world has ever seen.

Facebook the company, which is later rebranded to Meta, also owns Instagram, WhatsApp, and more.

The company, which is pretty much unfazed by competitors of all sizes, has also cemented itself as one of the powerful companies in the world.

And Zuckerberg who sits at its helm, is obviously a rich man.

But he and his wife don't typically flaunt their riches.

Unlike most millionaires who spend their fortune on expensive things, Zuckerberg chose a more subtle trend, and refrain from ever wearing branded clothes that shout their brand names

For example, Zuckerberg has a habit of wearing basic gray t-shirts that cost between $300 and $400.

Anant Ambani and other members of the Ambani family, including Radhika Merchant, served traditional Gujarati food to the villagers, called 'anna seva' to seek the blessings of the local community for the pre-wedding celebrations.

Anant Ambani is the youngest son of the billionaire businessman Mukesh Ambani, an Indian billionaire businessman.

Mukesh, which is the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, India's most valuable company by market value, has a centibillionaire net worth, and this positions him as one of the richest people in Asia, and also the world.

And with his high net worth, Mukesh is also known for his extravagant lifestyle.

One of the most notable, is his private residence, called the Antilia.

The house is essentially a private 27-storey building in Mumbai, which was valued at $1 billion, and was considered the most expensive private residence in the world at the time it was built. The building requires a staff of 600 for maintenance, and it includes three helipads, a 160-car garage, private movie theatre, swimming pool, and fitness center.

His lifestyle is inherited to his children, and Anant is no exception.

It's said that Anant has a long list of car collection, which includes brands like Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, and Range Rover.

Besides living in Antilia as his primary residence with the rest of his family, Anant is also known for his vast collection of luxury watches, including brands like Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Richard Mille.

So, his wedding should be a reflection of wealth.

At this time, the 28-year-old serves as a director at an energy business operated by Reliance, the Indian conglomerate founded by his grandfather.

In the pre-wedding celebrations, Anant was going to marry Radhika Merchant, the daughter of Encore Healthcare CEO Viren Merchant, hosted a communal dinner for 51,000 people.

Rihanna also performed her first full-length show in 8 years at the pre-wedding bash, where she sang 19 songs, while wearing a lime green and pink local-inspired outfit.

Reports estimated that the singer had been paid between $6 and $9 million for her performance.

Among the some 1,200 guests that were invited to the celebrations, included Ivanka Trump, and a bunch of billionaires and millionaires.

These people include founder of Microsoft Bill Gates, among many, many others.

Guests were pampered with at least 500 different types of dishes, cuisines and culinary, created by around 100 professional chefs.

Guests, who were told to start each day with a new dress code, were given mood boards and an army of hair stylists, makeup artists and Indian wear designers at their hotels to help them prepare.

The city’s airport typically handles fewer than 10 flights a day.

But during the three-day festive, the Jamnagar airport was turned into an "international terminal" to handle around 150 unscheduled flights that include privately chartered airplanes and business jets.

This was announced by a post on X by the airport's authorities.

And among the long list of high-profile guests and elites, Zuckerberg and Chan, a couple known for their simple and down-to-earth lifestyle despite their immense wealth.

Just like Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, the Meta founder is known for his attire that doesn't change much.

Due to the strict dress code, and in order to blend in in one of the most lavish parties the world has ever seen, the Zuckerbergs certainly needed a different approach in their outfit.

Zuckerberg and wife had to attend in outfits they're not normally known for wearing.

It's worth noting that despite wearing expensive clothes, the price tags of the outfits are still a far cry from some of the more expensive attire 'millionaire' celebrities wore.

It's also worth noting that Zuckerberg and Chan attended the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, but not the actual wedding ceremony, which was held on January 19, 2023.
