From compensation for TV rights to a free cake and wedding dress, Kim & Kris prove it’s good business to get hitched!
Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries are so happy they’re married, but we’re sure their joy is matched by the huge pay day they received for their Aug. 20 nuptials!
Kim, 30, and Kris, 26, sold just about every element of their wedding to the highest bidder and landed some high-priced swag as well, the New York Post reports. The paper even shows an incredible breakdown of how the wedding benefited Kim and Kris financially, and we’re sure you’ll be shocked!
Payments the couple received:
- $15 million plus profit for four-hour, two-part wedding special on E!
- $2.5 million for exclusive photos with PEOPLE
- $300,000 for exclusive engagement announcement with PEOPLE
- $100,000 for exclusive rights to bridal shower with Britain’s OK! mag
- $50,000 to have bachelorette party at Tao in Las Vegas
Stuff the couple got for free:
- $15,000 to $20,000 Hansen’s Bakery wedding cake
- $20,000 Vera Wang wedding dress and fittings
- $40,000 for two more Vera Wang evening dresses
- $400,000 in Perrier Jouet Champagne
- $150,000 in hair and makeup for photo shoots and TV “home video”
- $10,000 in Lehr & Black wedding invitations
Additionally, the couple received their $2 million 20.5-carat engagement ring and $1 million wedding bands by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz at a huge discount.
Well, we’re officially jealous. Which part of Kim and Kris’ glamorous wedding are most envious of, HollywoodLifers?

So I think this is a waste of money, they are earned, hard work or not, their money, so they can do what they want.
I do not know how many of us would think on the poor people in their place?
This wedding was paid by the sponsors….

And them wedding was the Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez special discount.
Since they did not get married they used the black and white theme.
See the sign on the estate with Jen and Ben to wed crossed out and
Kris and Kim instead.
So basically this wedding was free! Who gets the money Kim or her mom
Chris.

disgusting. They more than have the money to foot the bill on their own. There are so many others in America are without jobs and don’t even have food on their tables let alone pay for even a small wedding ceremony. And what have either of these two done to deserve the level of fame they have received anyway? Nothing.
Just like Star Jones

Wow and they are not just doing it for the money right . The dress was free so I guess that Kim’s family doesn’t pay for anything. So how can you compare this wedding to say Tom Cruise spent the same amount and
They paid for everything. This is just like Star Jones wedding wear .everything free and except the payment lump sum for the wedding.
For the publicity! Free is the word for this wedding
