Kim Kardashian's Wedding Will Make Her Millions

By Jo Piazza Posted May 25th 2011 12:30PM

The Kardashian klan moves awfully fast. Blink and you might miss another quickie engagement and wedding. On the heels of Kim's engagement news this morning, sources close to the family tell me TV execs are already talking how to spin Kim Kardashian's impending wedding to Kris Humphries into yet another gold rush.

One of the options is to start a new spin-off show, starting now, that would follow Kim getting ready for the big day, culminating in a televised ceremony.

"Kris Humphries might not have known what he was getting into. This wedding is going to happen very much in the public eye," an insider told me. "And they will make millions off of it."

Of course they will. The Kardashians have built their $65 million empire on complete candor about all aspects of their lives. That isn't going to change now. Kim's wedding could turn into the highest rated program E! has ever seen, especially if they build up to it with its own show.

"I've always dreamed of a big wedding. I'll probably do something really over-the-top. Super feminine but still really modern, chic and cool, but it has to have a lot of heart, it has to be all about the family," Kardashian told PEOPLE.

And with a big wedding can come big bucks. No doubt Kris Jenner will milk the wedding for all the promotional opportunities it is worth

Over at Forbes, Mark Pasetsky is already speculating about how much Kim's wedding photos will sell for. His guess is at least $2 million for domestic rights to the photos. There is at least an additional $1 million to be made in international rights.

Then there are the sneakier income streams -- wedding vendors will be willing to pay big bucks to be featured in the celebrity nuptials of the year.

At the end of the day, I'm predicting this marriage could net the Kardashians at least $5 million.

While many couples try to pull together a mere 20 grand TO get married and have a decent wedding, this opportunistic slu+ profits millions BY getting married. Yeah, it must be love. Talk about your "sanctity of marriage," what a joke.

By Sherwood

Yes, and then they work a REAL job for the next 10 years just to pay it off. Her, she'd just flash her big fat azz for another magazine and voila!, debt all gone.

maybe they can cross over into some other reality shows she can get her dress at Kleinfelds and say Yes To The Dress or have that wedding planner David do a themed wedding say Money for instance and then they can honeymoon on Survivor

By sir a ulo

she'd probably make more if she follows it
up with another x - rated video.

Trash... Trash.... and more trash....

By Brenda

What type of people watch this sort of thing on television? Surely you can feed your mind with something more worthwhile.

By Bubbles

Her diamond is almost as big as her butt!

By Bougainvillea

Probably part of her grand scheme to get pregnant and pop out a new brood of Kardashians and make a series about that..."From Kim to the Kradle" or some crap like that. The show must go on, right? So pathetic.

By Lowcountry Girl

WOW she wears way too much make up! I wonder how long it takes her to apply it all?

By CRStardust

Couldn't be too long if she uses a trowel/shovel......

I think this is fantastic! Sure the family has a lot og reality shows but who cares? I find their family extremly fuuny, caring, loving, and great to watch. Stop hating on her, she is engaged and she is happy. You don't know them and you have no idea if they're in love or not. I am so happy for the newlyweds. Congrats Kim and Kris. I wish you a lifetime of happiness !

By Lisa

Who REALLY cares ??? I am sooooo tired of hearing about this no-talent family !!! What have they really done ??? I don't watch ANY of their shows and could care less who they marry (and divorce) What a joke !!

By peter

RUN KRIS RUN!!!!!!!!! Run from this horrible family and never look back.

By New York

I think the family needs to run from Kris. She is responsible for the mess. Kris is the mastermind of this empire. Pimped them all out for the money. Genius. There is still hope for the younger ones if Bruce grows a pair & starts being a parent.

By Sonya Brown

my my such nasty remarks!!, her wedding im sure has nothing to do with money, as she all ready has money!!
And i doubt screwing her life with a unwanted marriage isnt worth 5 million to her!!, and because her family are brillant to make money off of their looks and u must admit the girls are funny and down to earth!!
I feel u shouldnt hate what u cant achieve,,,,just saying :)
Wish her all the luck in the world !!

Really Sonya? It's that these idiots got rich for being talentless wh0res while regular people struggle that makes most people sick, NOT jealous.

But you go ahead and keep aspiring to be trash, and make them richer in the process. Bravo.

By megan

well Polar Patrol you should do something with your talent so you don't struggle anymore

Oh Miss Megan, real talent isn't always rewarded quickly.

And, I'll gladly wait it out before I ever release a video of myself naked and getting urinated on.

By cgw

this is a marriage that is SOOOO not going to work....ever
