Russian Billionaire Mikhail Prohorov getting married in the Maldives

Russian oligarch Mikhail Prohorov has decided to get married because he has betted he will become a husband before his 42nd birthday.

The conjugal life of the couple will last just five days. The billionaire will have to cough up USD 10 M for the ceremony, which will be held on his birthday, May 3.

The luxurious wedding will be at the Maldives Islands. 700 guests were invited with the sole condition to be couples, not single people. The already married ones will be accommodated on the Paradise Island and the unmarried couples will be sent to Karumbe Island.

Five days after the date of the matrimony, the marriage will be dissolved. The four charter flights that will bring Prohorov's guests to the spot will cost him USD 1 M and the rent for the two islands - another USD 2 M per day.

The lucky bride's name is still unknown, but whoever she is she will have not a single chance to try and take away half of Prohorov's wealth after the divorce as he has secured himself with a pre-nup contract.
