When newlyweds Said Gutseriev, 28, and Khadija Uzhakhovs, 20, tied the knot in Moscow last weekend, they threw an extravagant celebration that's rumoured to have cost up to 700 million pounds ($1 billion).
The wedding featured celebrity performances from Jennifer Lopez, Sting, and Enrique Iglesias, as well as a custom-made designer dress.
All of it was paid for by the groom's father, the Kazakh-born entrepreneur Mikhail Gutseriev, according to BuzzFeed. The oligarch, whose oil businesses helped make him rich, has a net worth of 4.3 billion pounds ($6.2 billion) on Forbes.
