HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA -- Investors and corporate sponsors paid nearly $20MIL in cash and free products for the sham wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. The wedding only lasted 72 days before Kim Kardashian filed for divorce on Halloween, and Kim debated on the divorce for at least two weeks before filing. This has TyingTheKnott.com wondering if Kim Kardashian should have to pay back her sponsors for every penny they invested into a wedding that was just for television ratings.

As we first reported back on August 30th, 2011 Kim Kardashian made millions from her dream wedding to basketball player Kris Humphries. Today Kim Kardashian herself is trying to put a stop to this so-called "rumor" on her twitter and a statement on her website saying that she didn't make a penny for her wedding.

There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this.

As we reported before, TyingTheKnott.com has received verifiable information that Kim Kardashian has received millions of dollars in free products and events relating to her wedding with Kris Humphries and just as Kim Kardashian has tried to say that our report on her divorce was not true, she is trying to say that our report on the money she made from her wedding is not true.

Isn't it odd how TyingTheKnott.com reported exactly why Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were getting divorced days before Kim actually filed for divorce, and everything we reported was seen in the court documents for the reasons she wants a divorce... but yet our report was not true Kim?

Let us remind Kim Kardashian and her fans about just how much money Kim made and how many free things she got, including the wedding gifts from those who attended this sham wedding, who Kim Kardashian said she will not be following proper wedding etiquette by returning the gifts, but instead claims she will donate the value of the gifts to charity.

Here Is The Kim Kardashian Wedding Profit Breakdown Once Again:

Payments The Couple Received:

$15-Million Plus Profit for a 4-Hour, Two-Part Wedding Special on E!
$2.5-Million for Exclusive Photos With PEOPLE Magazine
$300,000 for Exclusive Engagement Announcement With PEOPLE Magazine
$100,000 for Exclusive Rights To Bridal Shower With Britain’s OK! Magazine
$50,000 To Have Bachelorette Party at Tao in Las Vegas

Things The Couple Got Free:

$20,000 Hansen’s Bakery Wedding Cake
$20,000 Vera Wang Wedding Dress and Fittings
$40,000 for Two More Vera Wang Evening Wedding 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
Over $100,000 In Wedding Gifts From Guests Who Attended The Wedding

This was all previously reported by us on August 30th, and we republished that article here to remind Kim Kardashian of just how "untrue" our reports really are.

In addition to the above, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries also got a $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 the wedding rings are worth. Even the $50,000 bachelorette party was sponsored, by Tao of Las Vegas.

Now the question that remains is whether or not Kim Kardashian should have to pay back any of the items and services that she got for free now that Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are getting Divorced? Obviously the millions she got from People Magazine for the rights to her photos shouldn't be paid back, but what about everything else?

When a corporate sponsor invests money into an event, such as Kim Kardashian's wedding, they expect for it to be good publicity for their product or services, but is a sham wedding good representation of your product or service? What about the wedding guests, should they get back their wedding gifts, or do you agree with Kim Kardashian's decision to donate the value of her wedding gifts to charity? If you do agree with her giving the value of gifts to charity, shouldn't it be the decision of her wedding guests as to which charity the money goes to?

Comment by Bianca Moran on November 2, 2011 at 7:55am: I remember the article you posted before, and maybe it's a good thing that you did publish it again to show just how she got paid for that wedding. Kim Kardashian really has some nerve claiming that she did not get paid for her wedding, when she clearly did in many ways... just putting the wedding on her tv show is enough to tell her that she is getting paid for it, selling your wedding photos to a magazine is another way that she should realize that she was paid for her wedding! She is so money hungry that she either doesn't realize how her money comes in, or she just doesn't care and easily forgets.

Comment by Gerald Sousa on November 2, 2011 at 7:57am: That is very strange how Kim Kardashian is denying on her website (in her public statement) that she didn't make a penny from her wedding when clearly she has made millions of pennies.

Comment by Jessica Fitzpatrick on November 2, 2011 at 2:41pm: how did you not make a penny from your wedding Kim, if everything that this website has been reporting has been 100% accurate since they first started talking about you?

Every little thing you got for free or sold to make money is all money you got paid for your wedding.

FREE THINGS = PAID

Maybe you don't think so, but someone has to pay for those things for you to get for free, so by them giving you the things for free is no different than them handing the cash over to you.

Comment by Bianca Moran on November 2, 2011 at 5:13pm: KIM KARDASHIAN IS A LIAR, CHEATER AND A PUBLICITY WHORE!!!

Comment by Julia Wrentham on November 3, 2011 at 4:31am: Kim should absolutely pay all the companies and guests back, but she denies that she made any money, even though she clearly did, and she is comveniently donating the value of her wedding gifts from all of her wedding guests to charity... convenient since it's a tax write-off for her. Shame on you Kim Kardashian and shame on the gullible fans taking her side. This is one fan who is no longer on Team Kim!
