Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries are so happy they’re married, but we’re sure their joy is matched by the huge pay day they received for their Aug. 20 nuptials!

Kim, 30, and Kris, 26, sold just about every element of their wedding to the highest bidder and landed some high-priced swag as well, the New York Post reports. The paper even shows an incredible breakdown of how the wedding benefited Kim and Kris financially, and we’re sure you’ll be shocked!

$300,000 for exclusive engagement announcement with PEOPLE
$100,000 for exclusive rights to bridal shower with Britain’s OK! mag

$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

Additionally, the couple received their $2 million 20.5-carat engagement ring and $1 million wedding bands by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz at a huge discount.

Well, we’re officially jealous. Which part of Kim and Kris’ glamorous wedding are most envious of, HollywoodLifers?

Haters!! so what they both look beautiful…..

So I think this is a waste of money, they are earned, hard work or not, their money, so they can do what they want.
I do not know how many of us would think on the poor people in their place?
This wedding was paid by the sponsors….

okay, seriously? spending $400,000 on champagne is RIDICULOUS.

What?! Would people stop paying attention to this talentless whore so she would go the hell away!

why do rich people get stuff for free when they dont even need it! so not fair :(

Yes and I hear that hey had black and white dishes at their wedding!
The bought Ben and Jlo’s wedding that never happened,so why not.
Good for them got married for money $$$$$$$$ not that her family paid for anything! Star Jones too didn’t she get a free dress and televised wedding
That was bought for!

And them wedding was the Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez special discount.
Since they did not get married they used the black and white theme.
See the sign on the estate with Jen and Ben to wed crossed out and
Kris and Kim instead.

So basically this wedding was free! Who gets the money Kim or her mom
Chris.

disgusting. They more than have the money to foot the bill on their own. There are so many others in America are without jobs and don’t even have food on their tables let alone pay for even a small wedding ceremony. And what have either of these two done to deserve the level of fame they have received anyway? Nothing.

Wow and they are not just doing it for the money right . The dress was free so I guess that Kim’s family doesn’t pay for anything. So how can you compare this wedding to say Tom Cruise spent the same amount and
They paid for everything. This is just like Star Jones wedding wear .everything free and except the payment lump sum for the wedding.
For the publicity! Free is the word for this wedding

Well Stop The jelousy, We get so jelous, cos this is something we won’t get, I get jelous just because I have to pay for everything if I get to have my dreamm wedding with my dream prince charming LOL. but She’s not even that guilty of the all ‘frenezii’ this family cause. Just wish them joy and love and move on with your lives! greeting from Cali,Colombia!
