Althouse: "Hillary Clinton tried her hand at Bollywood dancing last night at the wedding of India's richest heiress."

December 12, 2018

"Hillary Clinton tried her hand at Bollywood dancing last night at the wedding of India's richest heiress."

"The former first lady, who was seen wearing a back brace this summer, looked fit as a fiddle as she boogied with the king of Bollywood himself, Shah Rukh Khan. Dressed in Indian attire, the 71-year-old swung her hips and threw her arms in the air with a beaming smile. Mrs Clinton was joined by former Secretary of State John Kerry and a host of jubilant guests at the $100 million bash in Mumbai" (Daily Mail):

Interesting facts: 1. There's a $100 million wedding, 2. Hillary is there and she's dancing with John Kerry, 3. Hillary is "dressed in Indian attire."

FIDO said...: Hmm.

Well, booze is pricey in India and they are going for the good stuff. At least $50 a bottle or more. If they invited Sikhs or Punjabis, the cost could go into the millions.

They probably had a couple of Bollywood entertainers. They do not come cheap, despite what you may have heard. One girl charged a cool million to come out to Chennai and sing three songs before she disappeared.

Compare that to how much people will pay to NOT hear Hillary sing. Alas they ran out of money to keep her from dancing, but India is a poor country.

Carriage. Elephant. White horses. Several bands. Accommodations. Security for the dignitaries. Indian weddings of this magnitude last anywhere from 3-5 days. One can rent an entire PALACE to have a wedding. I think it costs $40,000 per day.

Mmm. I am still having a hard time coming up with $100 million though. Labor is CHEAP in India. And they are very unlikely to have rich imported steaks considering a not insignificant number of attendees will be Veg.; 12/12/18, 1:38 PM

FIDO said...: People familiar with the planning estimated the expense at about $100 million, while a person close to the family said the amount is not more than $15 million. The people asked not to be identified speaking on a private matter.

Invitees to the pre-wedding festivities, in the central Indian lake city of Udaipur, range from international and local celebrities such as Beyonce and Shah Rukh Khan, to politicians like Hillary Clinton and business tycoons including Henry Kravis, according to people familiar with the matter. The guest list is so long that the Ambanis and Piramals have taken over at least five five-star hotels nearby, and a war room has been set up in Mumbai to manage logistics, they said. According to local media reports, more than 100 chartered flights will fly guests to and from Udaipur’s Maharana Pratap Airport.

As gratitude to the city of Udaipur, the Ambanis donated enough food to feed 5,100 people three meals a day for four days, and set up a bazaar to showcase 108 traditional Indian paintings, pottery and other art from local artisans, according to a statement from a family representative.

The main ceremony will be held at the patriarch’s home, the 27-story Antilia palace in Mumbai, and post-wedding events will be held in the city.

For the chairman of Reliance Industries Ltd., who overtook Jack Ma this year as Asia’s wealthiest man, Isha will be the first of his children to wed. After the festivities, the newlyweds are poised to move in to their $64-million diamond-themed mansion at the Gulita building in Mumbai, according to one of the people.; 12/12/18, 1:51 PM

gadfly said...: From Howie Carr's review of John Kerry's book, "Every Day is Extra."

John Kerry – how can we miss him when he won’t go away?

But he won’t, and now Liveshot has a new book coming out, entitled “Every Day Is Extra,” perhaps because the more appropriate title – “Just a Gigolo” – is already claimed, by Louis Prima.

I’ll bet you can figure out how Liveshot came up with the replacement title. But just in case, the book is 624 pages long and Kerry manages not to bring up his service in Vietnam until the third line of the first page, in his Author’s Note explaining the title.

“It is an expression that summarizes how a bunch of guys I served with in Vietnam felt about coming home alive.”

Vietnam? Who knew that John Kerry served in Vietnam? You learn something new every day, don’t you?; 12/12/18, 2:47 PM

My employee has a daughter who was about to be married. He told her the budget for her wedding was $20K. In fact he gave her a check for that amount. He then told her if she ran over, it was on her tab. If she came in under $20K, the balance was hers. He further added, if she wanted to elope, that was OK too. She could use all of it to start setting up her household.

She chose door #2 and walked away with a few bucks.; 12/12/18, 3:52 PM

They would not let her sign books on the dance floor so there was a one time fee for lost opportunities. The total was $10 million, someone told me. But India got all our codes from a Deep State friend of hers so they see it all as quite cheap. You can see the handoff if you look closely - Kerry to Huma to Clinton to Indian.; 12/12/18, 6:23 PM

Money has been spent on dumber things. Marie Antoinette was criticized for the amount of money she spent on jewels. Napoleon devoted a good chunk of France's national income to build ten thousand flat boats for an invasion of England that never happened. Who's the bigger fool? Marie Antoinette probably.
