Say what you will about this girl, but she knows how to maximize her earning potential than a mug!

Between gifts she received prior to and to be included in her wedding, turning her bachelorette party into a Vegas event and turning her wedding into two two-hour episodes of ratings gold for E! (and getting them to share the ad revenue from her wedding special), Kimmy is about to rake in a reported $17.9 million

Payments they received

* $15 million plus profit for four-hour, two-part wedding special on E!

* $2.5 million for exclusive photos with People magazine

* $300,000 for exclusive engagement announcement with People

* $100,000 for exclusive rights to bridal shower with Britain’s OK! mag

* $50,000 to have bachelorette party at Tao in Las Vegas

Stuff they got for free

* $15,000 to $20,000 Hansen’s Bakery wedding cake

* $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

Deeply discounted

* $2 million 20.5-carat engagement ring and $1 million wedding bands by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. The amount they paid for these items hasn’t been revealed, but it’s much less than their worth.
