kim wedding

Kim Kardashian’s wedding was a major business deal for her. After all is said and done, she’ll rake in $17.9 million. Must be nice to be Kim Kardashian these days. Who knew a famous dad and a sex tape could get a girl so far! Only in America!

Here’s what she got and will be getting (pasted from The NY Post):

Payments they received

* $15 million plus profit for four-hour, two-part wedding special on E!

* $2.5 million for exclusive photos with People magazine

* $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 they 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

Deeply discounted

* $2 million 20.5-carat engagement ring and $1 million wedding bands by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. The amount they paid for these items hasn’t been revealed, but it’s much less than their worth.

We’ll be able to see it all unfold during the two-part wedding special that’ll air on Oct. 9th and 10th on E!

    Do the Kardashian’s even take a shit without making some sort of profit? With as much money as these people earn, she STILL gets stuff for free?? Life is just not fair. She can’t even make the argument she has worked hard for everything she’s got. (Well, I guess she DID work hard between the sheets.)

    Wow…the demise of America indeed! People pay you to get married when you have no discernable talent other than a pushy mom. Kim K. is a boring twat!

    In the spirit of this blessed union, I’d like some profit too and so will now be taking bets on how long this “marriage” will last. And how much People will pay for exclusive rights to the details of the divorce.

    You forgot that Steven Speilberg donated the flux capacitor from Back to the Future so that Kris’ family could be transported from the Mesozoic Era to 2011.

    Kris also sold naming rights to his forehead for any interested advertisers.

    This is what I don’t get. These companies are giving these things away and in turn they get the free advertising/publicity. The problem is they give it to people who can afford to pay for it and then brag to people like me about their product which I will NEVER purchase because I can’t afford it. This is nothing but high class welfare. You can give Kim K 400,000 in liquor but will run to the polls to vote so you can stop families from receiving food stamps. God bless America indeed.

    I knew I should have done that sex tape with the not so well known rapper I met when I was 20. I would be a millionaire right now.

    Between her and Ashton Kutcher, I want to kill myself. So on top of the millions she already has, she got paid to get married. Meanwhile, I don’t know if that will ever happen for me because I am so poor. Excuse me while I cry into my Cheerios

    Wow, a lot of people sure do let Kim Kardashian get to them! I prefer just going on with my life than spending so much time hating someone who in no way affects it.

    I find that $15 million figure a little hard to believe. Ryan Seacrest makes $15 mil a season for American Idol. And that gets a shitload more ratings. Maybe she made $1.5 million for the wedding special, heck she only got $300,000 for pics. If she were worth a $15 mil wedding special, her pics would be worth a whole lot more, no?

    In her prime, Halle Berry made $15 million a movie! Kim has a following, sure, but she’s not making that in a four hour E! special…I wanna see the receipts.

    She didn’t exactly strain herself in the Big Ass Sex Tape.

    Thank you, NMWTV, i was just gonna say how utterly boring that whole escapade was. I’m kinda jealous of the money, but then I remember that I’m not being judged on tv by millions, so there’s that…i’ll probably end up watching and being grossed out by it. So I guess I’m part of the problem. Does that mean I have to stop complaining then? Damn.

    I’m thinking the Islamic extremists have it all wrong…if they would just target all celebrity famewhores, starting with the Kardashians, it would completely cripple America.

    Maybe these numbers are correct, but they often get inflated by the celebrity (or their agent/publicist) so the bar will be raised for future engagements. And speaking of future engagements, I’m sure this won’t be Kim’s last waddle down the aisle.

    I hope that dope of a husband got a decent cut of these wedding deals. Dude had a good life – good looking guy, pro baller, makes a few million per year. He should get some kind of compensation for being clowned world-wide for marrying this fame whore.

    Sheeesh I can’t even claim to be a Kim K fan but you all are making me want to be one! Good grief, there are so many other, far more terrible people worthy of your hate! It’s her money, let her do as she pleases. Yes it’s lavish, over the top, something I could never comprehend, and blah blah blah, but before everyone gets in their panties in a twist, at least this famewhore has donated considerable amounts of money to charitable causes. I think it’s hilarious how much time you guys are spending hating on and being jealous of someone so insignificant…and now I’m angry that you made me have to defend her. Focus your snark in the T & T recaps. That’s where the real material is at!

    Just commenting on the topic on hand….. geezus. No hate intended towards Miss Kim, just an inordinate amount of incredulousness that someone can reap the rewards of being no one. Good for her for turning herself into an industry. As for not working hard between the sheets, well never saw her sex tape so my bad on that one. I just assumed…….

    Besides, isn’t what this forum is for, hating on and making fun of people? Forgive me if I’m wrong. That’s what I come to see.

    @trkaelin, she didn’t work very hard at all. Her moves in the sheets were worse than her moves on DWTS.

    my two cents may be different than yours… I think that’s the point of forums/comment boards… how bored would we be if we all thought the same thing?

    And yet…the high class welfare state wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, all paid by the state, and if there’s a family that can afford to stage such a lavish wedding without using public funds when the rest of the UK is enacting austerity measures it’s the Windsors.

    At least Kim sold her wedding to the highest bidders and didn’t use a cent of public funds. Can’t say the same for the British royals.

    (For the record, I didn’t watch the royal wedding and am not watching this special so I have no dog in the hunt, just pointing out that the royals have been scamming the public for centuries.)

    Meant that Kate and William’s wedding was treated like a fairy tale when they didn’t pay a cent to stage something far more ridiculous and lavish. Even if it was “subtle” by royal standards.
