Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Update-Kim Kardashian and her family will now reportedly rake in $17.9 from her wedding! Kris Jenner, Kim’s mother sure is one savvy businesswoman.

Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries on Saturday in a lavish ceremony at a $30 million mansion in Montecito, California. While a wedding of this scale could cost upwards of $500,000, celebrity event producer Tony Schubert states “not only will the family not spend money, it will likely make money.” Wedding vendors are more than willing to give the Kardashian freebies in hopes of publicity. Other sources have reported the wedding cost somewhere the in the   millions – say 10.

Schubert explains to the Hollywood Reporter,
“Because Kim is viewed among many brides-to-be and bridal hopefuls as a tastemaker, association with her is priceless. A single tweet from the star can get a brand’s name in front of nearly 9 million followers (dress designer Vera Wang is already receiving frequent mentions), compared to the 200,000 circulation of a wedding magazine like Brides.”

For instance, Kim’s luxury crystal-embellished black-and-white engraved gate fold invitations – free.

The $20,000 Vera Wang Dress along with alterations: free.

Kim Kardshian isn’t the only one taking advantage of the freebies, her mother Kris Jenner who incessantly discussed her facelift on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians, reportedly received the service for free! And soon-to-be hubby, Kris Humphries received a significant discount on his 20.5 carat engagement ring.

The New York Post has reported an update on the business that is the Kardashians. According to NYP, Kris Jenner reportedly brokered a $2.5 million exclusive photo deal with People magazine.

In addition, the Kardashian’s will bank their biggest payout from their   four-hour, two-part TV spectacular called “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event,” which will air on E! in October. This special will bring in anywhere from $12-$15 million.

WOW! Kris Humphries reportedly signed a pre-nup because according to Khloe, “It’s good for business”. It makes you wonder what’s his stake in all of this? Congrats to Kim Kardashian on her wedding day – we’re sure it was the best money could buy! 😉

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
