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.

We are in trouble when do-nothings attain celebrity. I don't blame them. More power to them I lament the idiots who make them rich for just existing and exposing their jaundiced lives to the world.

For the love of god, please NO MORE K-Ho shows! America is dumb enough and already has an unhealthy sense of entitlement.

SO many haters!! It's disgusting the way posters go after Kim. Leave her alone, not one of you on here would turn down big money to broadcast your wedding! So what if she's slept with a few guys, what 30 year old woman hasn't had more than one lover? Would you want your every date put on the evening "entertaiment" programs? Not me. It's no one business but Kim's! I wish them the best!!! An yes I'll be watching!!

You can't turn a ho into a housewife!

By Sam

I'm sorry but I hope that Kim and her sister Khloe know that they are a running joke in the locker rooms. That if you have the right kind of money and fame you can buy her because their mom is selling them. There won't be a wedding because all the other football and basketball players have already schooled Kris on how to date a Kardashian. You run threw a Kardashian but NEVER keep them. Lamar is the exception because he is ugly and retarded lol

you people are either obsessed with or jealous of this family because if you were not you wouldn't waste your time to read everything you see about them and then waste more time writing about them. It's obvious you guys are in a minority beause they could not have but a sixtfive million dollar empire if everyone felt like you. but then again any publicity is good publicity, so you poor people (people with money don't waste their time reading articles like this) keep writing so that sites like this will keep posting reports about the family who obviouly unlike you guys figured out a way to make millions.

By Scp

What a jealous bunch of people on here! What did Kim Kardashian ever do to any one of you? Nothing, because you people don't know her and I would imagine that every one of you slept with just as many if not more people than her. She is a very enterprising business woman. I hope this works out for her.

And you have what? Hoebag envy????? Can't put lipstick on that pig...good luck trying....

By Liz

Wonder what he will think the first time he sees her without makeup. It will have to happen. It's like trying to hide false teeth from your husband.

By hattie

I wish them well and i hope Kim has found true love. She has had a hard time with men in the past.

By Sue

Engaged after 6 months? It wont last a year, even if she's pregnant. This is for publicity and money. Very sad to see that Kris got caught up in this mess - he seemed like a nice Minnesota guy.

ANYONE WANT WAGER ON HOW LONG UNTIL THE DIVORCE ?

By Debby

Of course this is the whole reason for the marriage to begin with. Nut cases.

By Reggie

Has her fiance seen her sex tapes? If not, what's his address? I'll send him copies.

By Carol

well what does a 20.5 karat diamond look like anyway?? and I bet she picked it out and paid for it, too...

By Lotaly

I'm not sure what Kim kardashian does. i heard she was a singer whose cd did not do well. Well, From the looks of it, she's not in love. They're both are just having fun and making lots of money while at it. That money will be spent to pay for divorce lawyers once they stop having fun.

you hit the nail right on the head!!
