‘Desperate’ Justin Bieber accepted Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding gig for $10 million to keep up with Hailey Bieber’s excessive spending: Report
Pop superstar Justin Bieber made headlines around the world when he flew to Mumbai city for just a day to perform at the lavish pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The actor’s gig reportedly came at a huge price for the billionaires, who reportedly shelled out an estimated $10 million for the private gig.
Now, reports suggest that the appearance was motivated by more than just a love for music.
According to a source cited by DailyMail.com, Bieber accepted the $10 million gig due to mounting financial pressure, allegedly brought on by his wife Hailey Bieber’s extravagant spending habits.
The couple, who recently announced the birth of their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, appeared joyful on social media, but according to the report, insiders claim that Justin has been struggling behind the scenes. The source described him as looking “haggard and stressed” during his performance of some of his biggest hits.
Hailey is a seriously high spender,” the source revealed. “She has spent tens of millions on private jets to fly around the world, including once taking a plane just to get her nails done at a particular manicurist.”
This extravagant lifestyle reportedly left Bieber “desperate” enough to accept the $10 million payday from the Ambani wedding, one of the most opulent events in recent memory. Although the family also had celebs like Rihanna, Andrea Bocelli, the Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry and many others performing for their elaborate festivities, Bieber’s performance was a highlight and most expensive gig of the month-long celebrations.
