Justin Bieber Performs at Pre-Wedding Bash of Indian Billionaire’s Son

During a rare live performance, Justin Bieber was reportedly paid a whopping $10 million to entertain the guests at the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.

In the past, the family had secured performances from renowned artists like Rihanna and Katy Perry, but rumors suggest that Bieber’s paycheck surpassed them all. Katy Perry had been paid $7 million, while Rihanna had received $9 million for their performances.

Bieber treated the audience to an extensive setlist that spanned his career, featuring early hits such as “Baby” and “Boyfriend” as well as recent chart-toppers like “Peaches”. To cap off the performance, he even invited the newlyweds to join him on stage in celebration.
