7 ) Kim Exploited Her Marriage To Kris Humphries, Making Millions
The ceremony was plastered over many media outlets, and so was the divorce just 72 days later. Her wedding was turned into a four hour E! exclusive, and while the ceremony cost approximately $10 million dollars, it was mostly paid for by sponsors.
When you take into account the payments that were received for exclusive interviews and media coverage, there was a lot of money to be made. The nuptial photograph rights alone, which were sold to People Magazine, made $2.5 million. Add up all of the discounts they received from businesses wanting media coverage, selling media rights and the huge amount of dough from the E! coverage, it is estimated that this orchestrated event netted at least $17.9 million for the family.
