Most people don’t profit from the expensive money suck that is the modern wedding, but most people aren’t curvy, sexy, rich like Kim Kardashian. The newly married reality star got her fairytale, $10 million dollar wedding, but it didn’t hit her in the pocketbook, like, at all. In fact, she’s actually expected to make money off her wedding extravaganza.
Exclusive wedding photos sold for $1.5 million, engagement announcement photos fetched $300,000, and bridal shower coverage got the Kardashian cult--er, family--$100,000. She and hubby Kris Humphries also received money from Las Vegas’ Tao nightclub for hosting their bachelor and bachelorette parties there. Pair that up with the two-part wedding special for E! and they’re making big bucks!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, these deals, in addition to the long list of freebies that would have racked up the cost of her wedding, left the Kardashians ready to profit. (Even Kris got Kim’s $2 million wedding ring at a hefty price discount.)
Vendors involved in her big day are either discounting or giving their products/services for free in return for the exposure that goes with the Kardashian name. Some of the freebies include the Lehr & Black wedding invitations at a cool $10,000; the cake bill from Hansen's Cakes is reportedly $6,000.
Even the Kardashians can’t afford to keep up with the Kardashians! Okay, maybe they still can. But it’s nice to pretend like they can’t for a little while.
