Dubai-based Indian millionaire Yogesh Mehta has just spent a whooping £14million on his son Rohan Mehta’s wedding in Florence, Italy.

Yogesh, also called Yogi, took to Twitter to break the news last week:



A grand wedding or a happy marriage, what’s more important?

Rohan Mehta reportedly married Roshni — a London-raised owner of a fashion company — in the company of over 500 guests in a lavish ceremony.
