Recently, a Nigerian billionaire from the oil industry dropped £5 Million on her son's wedding. For those who don't want to do the conversion on that amount, that equals almost 6.5 million U.S. dollars. The 66-year-old billionaire's name is Folorunsho Alakija and she was ranked the 18th richest person in Africa according to Forbes. She serves as the Vice Chair of the Nigerian oil company Famfa Oil. Previously, Alakija ousted Oprah Winfrey from having the top spot as being the richest black woman in the world.
The wedding took place earlier in the month and found her son Folarin Akakija marrying an Iranian model named Nazanin Ghaissarifa. The couple got married at the Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England--the same place where Winston Churchill was born. The decorations in the venue included one million white roses along with an extravagant cake that featured hundreds of white roses. The couple also had Robin Thicke sing at their ceremony for over $150,000 USD.
