15 Insanely expensive celebrity weddings and divorces that will shock you! (With Pictures)

2. Prince William And Kate Middleton – $34 Million

It really should be no surprise that the two toppers of this list are royalty. The fact is, just the logistics of organizing a royal wedding by virtue of it often being very public, requires heavy costs in security and shutting down parts of the city. The cost of Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s wedding was covered directly by the Royal family and the Middletons, while transportation and security by Her Majesty’s British treasury (aka taxpayer money). In lieu of wedding guests, the couple encouraged guests and citizens to donate to a number of charities – because they clearly didn’t need the money. Aside from the huge list of royalty and government officials from across the world invited to the event, the celebrity guest list was nearly as impressive featuring the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Sir Elton John, Ian Thorpe and Guy Ritchie. Along with the very public private ceremony, London organized a number of public events to celebrate the royal wedding, ranking this as one of the biggest, as well as the most expensive, wedding ceremonies of all time.
