Reports suggest that Katy Perry is poised to earn a whopping amount of money by headlining a wedding event for the son of India's wealthiest individual.

The "I Kissed A Girl" singer is rumored to be making her way to Cannes, France, to entertain guests at a masquerade ball in honor of Anant Ambani and soon-to-be wife Radhika Merchant.

Anant is the child of Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, and is considered the wealthiest individual in Asia by Forbes, with a net worth exceeding $114 billion.

By joining the likes of musical icons Rihanna and Beyoncé, Katy is stepping into the land of performers who have received massive amount of cash for entertaining billionaires in previous engagements.

In 2018, to celebrate his daughter's marriage, Mukesh reportedly arranged for a special performance by Beyoncé, for which he is said to have paid her a staggering $6 million.

According to a recent report from The Sun, it has been confirmed that "Roar" singer will perform a special number for the married couple.

They went on to say, "It will arrive in Cannes on Friday for the big bash, which will be at a $50.9 million estate. The party itself will only last five hours but Katy will headline it, with a DJ also being flown in as part of the top-tier entertainment."

"Afterwards, guests will watch a huge fireworks display from a small armada of ships waiting in the Bay of Cannes. When they say there's been no expense spared, they really mean it," the source added.

It has also been revealed that an extravagant pre-wedding celebration that took place before was said to have amounted to a whopping $152 million.

During Rihanna's previous show for the billionaires, she was accompanied by the illusionist David Blaine and Bollywood star Diljit Dosanjh to showcase their talents.
