Kim Kardashian will reportedly make $17.9 million from her wedding to American Football star Kris Humphries.

The wedding which took place last weekend in Montecito, California apparently cost $10 million, but according to the New York post the couple will actually make money from the occasion.

“While the wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries was reported to cost a manicured-eyebrow raising $10 million, the lovebirds really didn’t have to shell out a dime — in fact, they’ll rake in at least $17.9 million for just saying, “I do”!”

The tabloid also quotes celebrity event planner Tony Schubert who explained that many companies would give products and services for free in exchange for the huge publicity they would receive.

He said: “It benefits the vendors, their goods and services to be shown to millions of people.”

According to the newspaper the Keeping Up With the KardashianÂ’s star was given three Vera Wang gowns to choose from, worth $20,000 each. The couple also received $400,000 worth of champagne, a $15,000 wedding cake, $10,000 invitations and $150,000 in hair and make-up for photoshoots and the wedding video.

The reality stars will make $15 million for the mammoth four-hour special on E!, as well as a reported $2.8 million from People magazine for the exclusive wedding snaps and engagement announcement. They also received $100,000 from the UKÂ’s OK! magazine for the exclusive rights for the pictures of the bridal shower.
