Wealthy Wedding Affair: Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Made $18 Million Instead of Spending

The hot news on the internet is “Kim Kardashian is now married to Kris Humphries”. Oh no, you do know already. No problem, I’ve lot more to share which might not be known by many.

Kim Kardashian tied the knot with NBA player Kris Humphries Saturday night in a lavish ceremony at a private estate in Montecito, Calif.

Reportedly, the newly wedded couple made almost $18 million on their wedding event. Don’t think I made mistake in mentioning the fact. Yes, they made (not spent) about $18 million, according to an estimate published by New York Post.

How do they figure this? The couple is getting paid $15 million for the two-part TV special entitled “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event”. They sold rights to their wedding photos for $2.5 million to People, who also spent earlier $300,000 for the rights to their exclusive engagement announcement. Kim and Kris also made some cash by selling rights to the bridal shower photos to OK! and getting paid to have Kim’s bacherlorette party at Tao.

The couple also enjoyed a lot of wedding items for free. Kim’ s Vera Wang wedding dress (plus two other Wang dresses), the Lehr & Black invitations, the Hansen’s Bakery wedding cake, Perrier Jouet champagne, and hair and makeup services were all part of that list. The estimate on these items alone nears $650,000. Not to mention the couple received a hefty discount on Kim’s $2 million engagement ring, as well as $1 million wedding bands from Kardashian pal Lorraine Schwartz.
