Kardashians to make $17.9m from wedding'

22nd August 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kim Kardashian and her family will reportedly make $17.9 million from her weekend wedding.

The 30-year-old married Kris Humphries, 26, on Saturday in a lavish ceremony in Montecito, California in front of 440 guests but apparently did not pay for much of the celebration.

The New York Post is reporting that the huge media event did not cost the Keeping Up With The Kardashians family much money and in fact has made them millions.

Photographs from the big day are rumoured to have been sold to People magazine for $2.5 million.

But the whole event, which was filmed for a four-hour, two-part television special called Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, will reportedly make them $12-$15 million.

The show's producer Ryan Seacrest will also apparently make a small fortune from the nuptials.

Vendors eager to be a part of the popular family's big day were said to be more than happy to give their services and products for free or for a huge discount in exchange for the publicity.

The publication is also reporting that Kim's three, $20,000 Vera Wang gowns, were complimentary.

The new Mrs Humphries also received $400,000 worth of Perrier Jouet Champagne and her $10,000 Lehr & Black wedding invitations were also reportedly of no cost to her.

Guests including Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohan partied the night away at a lavish estate just north of Los Angeles.

But the party is rumoured to have ended earlier than planned because of complaints about the noise from neighbours.

Kim's $2 million 20.5 carat engagement ring and the couple's $1 million wedding bands are also said to have been deeply discounted by jeweller Lorraine Schwartz. (C) Cover Media
