Jennifer Lopez reportedly earned a staggering $2 million for a single-night performance at the wedding of Netra Mantena, daughter of Indian pharmaceutical magnate Rama Raju Mantena. The extravagant celebration took place last weekend in Udaipur, India, and became a major talking point across entertainment and business circles.
As reported by Page Six, Lopez was the headline performer at the four-day wedding extravaganza. Netra, 27, is the daughter of the CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, a multinational firm with R&D hubs across the U.S., Switzerland, and India. Her father, Rama Raju Mantena, is a well-known figure in India’s pharmaceutical sector and an active philanthropist, having previously donated 28 kilograms of gold to the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple trust.
The groom, Vamsi Gadiraju, is a rising entrepreneur and co-founder of the food delivery platform Superorder, which earned him a spot on Forbes’ 2024 30 Under 30 list in the Food & Drink category. His company is currently valued between $18 million and $25 million.
Lopez’s performance included her iconic hits like Waiting for Tonight and Get Right, delivered in three different bodysuit ensembles. She concluded the show by inviting the bride and groom onstage for a celebratory moment with their families.
The multi-day wedding, beginning on November 20, featured performances by other international artists, including world-renowned Dutch DJ Tiësto. The guest list was equally star-studded, boasting Bollywood celebrities, business moguls, and even political figures among them, Donald Trump Jr. and his partner Bettina Anderson.
Born in 1969, Jennifer Lopez, also known as J. Lo, launched her entertainment career in 1991 as a dancer on In Living Color. She later rose to global fame with chart-topping hits like On the Floor and Ain’t Your Mama, and starred in films such as The Mother (2023), Shotgun Wedding (2022), and Marry Me (2022). Her latest project, Kiss of the Spider Woman, debuted in October. She is also the founder of the beauty brand J.Lo Beauty, launched in 2020.
It’s not uncommon for Indian billionaire families to invite global pop stars to perform at weddings. Before the Mantena family, the Ambani family famously brought in artists like Beyoncé ($4.7 million in 2018), Maroon 5 ($1.5 million in 2019), Rihanna ($7 million in 2024), and Justin Bieber ($10 million in 2024) for their children’s lavish wedding events. The Ambanis also paid Katy Perry an estimated $5.4 million for a pre-wedding performance in Cannes.
