What Would You Do With $600 Million? (If Not a Wedding?)

The wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant has caught public attention for its staggering price tag of over 600 million USD. The entire ceremony took place over the course of five-months, with 11 pre-wedding ceremonies and a guest list including celebrities like Kim and Khloe Kardashian, John Cena, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra; and politicians like Boris Johnson and Tony Blair. So first, we speak to a wedding planner on extravagant weddings, and the thrills and terrors that come with it. Then, we hear from our listeners how they would spend 600 million USD, if they had it.
