The most expensive party in the world is not hosted by Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, Gautam Adani.

Have you ever heard of such a big party where there are 18 tons of food, 25,000 bottles of wine and 100 planes to invite guests? The party was organized not by any businessman, but by Iranian Shah in 1971. It is reportedly the most expensive party in the world that has changed Iran’s history. The country was different 54 years ago. Women wear Western clothes, and the atmosphere is more modern. But all of this changed the Islamic Revolution in 1979. It witnessed the collapse of the Pahavi Dynasty and the founding of the Islamic Republic. It greatly changed the laws of the country, its culture, and especially women’s freedom.

The most expensive celebration ever

It was in 1941 that Mohammad Reza Shah came to the throne of Iran. He is rich and tries to modernize Iran. He adopted Western traditions and opposed traditional traditions such as hijack. But in 1971 he organized a grand gathering to commemorate the 2500th year of the Persian Empire. The carnival is celebrated in the Persepolis desert, where the ancient King Cyrus’s great tomb is located. Bash had tourists from 65 countries and cost $100 million at the time.

It took a year to prepare for the party. There aren’t many hotels in Tehran, so a temporary tent city was built in the desert. Roads were built and tents were installed like royal palaces.

Why are people angry?

The party consists of 18 tons of food, 180 waiters and 25,000 bottles of wine. The king, queens and heads of state were invited from the farthest corners of the world. But then many in Iran found it difficult to get clean water. All of these royal expenses are said to bother people. They thought Shah didn’t care about them. This led to the fall of Shah and the 1979 revolution. This party is so luxurious and expensive that it is hailed as the largest political party in the world. But this inspired resentment from the Iranian people who changed the fate of the country.
