# 8 Liza Minnelli and David Gest
Liza Minnelli and David Gest had one of the most expensive celebrity weddings ever that was equally populated by wedding guests. Michael Jackson was the best man, and Elizabeth Taylor was a Maid of Honor. They had a 12 tier wedding cake and a 50 piece orchestra playing for a guest list of nearly 1,000 people. All of this resulted in a wedding that cost 4.2 million dollars.

# 7 Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
Justin Timberlake has had a few heavy hitting A-list celebrity girlfriends including Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz, but it was his partnership with Jessica Biel that resulted in an expensive wedding. The couple booked an entire Italian Hotel for their ceremony and even paid a not-so-small fortune to the surrounding buildings to avoid paparazzi peeking in on their wedding from the outside. This resulted in the wedding costing 6.5 million dollars.

# 6 Sammy Jo
“My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding” is a TV series that is broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK and follows Irish Traveller Families and their journey and preparations in taking one member of their community to marriage. That’s the original concept of the show, however, in the first episode of series 2, the show followed a girl named Sammy Jo who modeled her prom after the big expensive wedding she wanted to have. Her dress was so huge that her date could barely fit in the carriage with her.

# 5 Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
Kim Kardashian’s first celebrity wedding was in 2011 with Kris Humphries. It was a wedding that every major entertainment outlet fought to cover. The wedding itself cost an estimated 10 million dollars, but the two celebs didn’t pay for much of it themselves. They’re wedding was, of course, sponsored by E! who got exclusive rights to cover and air the wedding. A record-breaking 10 million people tuned into the million dollar wedding. The couple made a sweet 18 million dollars from the whole deal, which they probably ended up using when they got divorced just 72 days later.

# 4 Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
The only person who could top Kim’s first 10 million dollar wedding would, of course, be Kim Kardashian herself. Kim and Kanye West tied the knot in 2014 at a wedding at the tune of about 12 million dollars. Kim wore a designer gown that cost a half a million dollars itself. Kimye also rented out a 16th-century Italian venue that cost another approximate half a million dollars. Even North who was only 11 months old at the time was wearing a Givenchy dress. The couple even provided a glam squad for all their guests so they could look their best, too. This time, her wedding wasn’t exclusively covered by E! and the marriage didn’t end 72 days after their wedding.

# 3 Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt
Petra Ecclestone is a notorious heiress to a huge fortune, and James Stunt is an equally mind-blowingly wealthy heir to a fortune. So it makes sense that they would throw one of the most expensive weddings of all time. The two of them rented out an entire Medieval town in Italy which they completely shut down for their entire day. A castle in the town was also rented which just added to the receipt. Things including a 6,000 dollar bottle of champagne and an acrobatic performance and even an appearance by the Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta. All of this racked up into a 20 million dollar event.

# 2 Prince William and Kate Middleton
Who would you expect to throw one of the most expensive weddings ever than literal royalty? That’s how Prince William and Kate Middleton got on this list. It took place on April 29th, 2011 at the Westminster Abbey, which has been used for royal coronations and weddings since the year 1066. Most of the cost went towards the post-wedding parade and security required for the event. In total it was said to cost more than 34 million dollars.

# 1 Vanisha Mittal and Amit Bhatia
Vanisha Mittal is the daughter and heiress of a billionaire steel fortune, and Amit Bhatia is a London-born banker who owns Swordfish Investments. Together, they paid for a wedding that blows the price tag of even British royalty out of the water. The priciness begins with their invites which were sold out in silver boxes which include plane tickets and a room at a five-star hotel in Paris. Their ceremony included a five-day long celebration in a 16th century chateau in a wooden castle built for the event. Even people like Kylie Minogue performed at the event, so it’s no surprise that their bill was approximated to be about 60 million dollars.
