5 Kim Kardashian And Damon Thomas Wed On The Cheap In Las Vegas

Accusations were hurtled at Damon after their divorce

Kim Kardashian’s first marriage was to music producer Damon Thomas, and it may have been one of the least expensive weddings in Kardashian family history. At the age of 19, Kim decided to elope with her then-boyfriend in Las Vegas, despite him being a whole decade older.

Kim’s life wasn’t in the spotlight at the time, so it’s unclear how much Kim and Damon spent on their quickie nuptials. According to one report, couples in Las Vegas spent an average of $24,000 on their wedding in 2022. But it’s possible Kim spent even less her first time walking down the aisle.

Kim and Damon were married from 2000 to 2004; in the years since their split, Kim has alleged that he was abusive towards her.

4 Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom's Wedding Cost $1 Million

Lamar reportedly paid $850,000 for Khloe Kardashian's engagement ring

Khloe Kardashian’s 2009 marriage to Lamar Odom was hardly a small affair. E! News apparently paid the $1 million bill for the affair in exchange for the couple agreeing to televise the entire wedding celebration.

Caitlyn Jenner, Khloe’s step-father, told the Las Vegas Sun that the family was thrilled Khloe’s nuptials were made into an hour-long program, though rumor has it the network required the couple to get married ASAP, so it could make the Keeping Up with the Kardashian season finale.

"We're right in the middle of shooting Season 4, it's great television,” Caitlyn said at the time. “It will be a one-hour special on E!"

Khloe reportedly wanted Lamar to sign a prenup before the nuptials, but because of the short notice, there wasn’t enough time. However, Lamar later went on to refute the rumors. "It's crazy how perception works in America when you're looking at things from the outside," he told New York Daily News. "Anybody that was there will tell you that it was a beautiful event and it was real."

Khloe and Lamar were on-and-off again for many years, but their divorce was finalized in 2015 after he overdosed at a brothel.

3 Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries Had A Wedding Reportedly Costing $10 Million

The wedding was reportedly rushed for TV ratings purposes.

When Kim wed NBA star Kris Humphries, the 2011 wedding apparently cost $10 million, a striking cost considering their union only lasted for 72 days before Kim filed for divorce.

“Kim loves black and white and so does Kris,” wedding planner Sharon Sacks told PEOPLE at the time. “They have this Hollywood royalty feeling and the black and white represented formality. But tradition was very important to them.”

The wedding was televised for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, so it’s suspected that E! network paid for much of the lavish event.

2 Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Had A $3.5 Million Wedding Celebration

They Spent $60,000 on a single weekend rental for the event

When Kourtney Kardashian said “I do” to Travis Barker in May 2022 during a lavish Italian ceremony, the couple reportedly spent $3.5 million on the affair, which included covering accommodation for all their international guests.

The pair spared no expense, renting out the entire Castello Brown on the Italian Riviera coastline, which costs approximately $60,000 for only a weekend.

1 Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Reportedly Spent $12 Million On Their Wedding

Kardashian's Gown For Her Wedding Had A Shockingly High Cost

The exact cost of Kim’s wedding to Kanye West hasn’t been confirmed, but it was surely elaborate. One report from Daily Mail claims they spent $12 million on the Italian nuptials, held in 2014. Kim wore a personalized Givenchy Haute Couture dress, adorned with lace accents and pearls, complemented by an elegant cathedral-length veil. However, her exquisite appearance came at a significant expense.

Crafted by Riccardo Tisci, the creative director of Givenchy and a close associate of Kanye, the gown is rumored to have carried a price tag of approximately $500,000, while her Balmain heels alone added up to $40,000, making for a very expensive wedding day look.

Kim even hired a “glam squad” to be on standby to do the hair and makeup of guests, which cost $65,000.

Kourtney Kardashian’s Wedding Dress Was Surprisingly Inexpensive
Kourtney chose a relatively inexpensive dress for her wedding day - at least by Kardashian standards.

The soiree was held at the 16th Century Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. The venue was decorated with a lavish 20-foot barrier of white flowers, composed of white roses and peonies. The floral arrangements were meticulously crafted by Fiori Della Signoria, one of the city's most time-honored florists, and came with a hefty price tag of $136,000 for the couple.

They also hired Andrea Bocelli for a private performance, which can cost up to $1.3 million, depending on the extent of the performance (Kourtney also hired Andrea for her wedding to Travis, too).

Kim and Kanye ultimately broke up in 2022 after nearly a decade of marriage and four children together.

If you've been keeping track, the last four Kardashian family weddings cost more than a combined $26 million.
