Pretty obvious that's what this whole wedding was about. I remember reading somewhere that she supposedly made a lot of money off the wedding (sponsors, rights to photos etc) Edit: Here's some links talking about they managed to make millions of the wedding. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/kim-kardashian-kris-humphries-e-tv-wedding-224992 http://www.popeater.com/2011/05/25/kim-kardashian-wedding-money/
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/kim-kardashian-kris-humphries-wedding-225560 and that's not even taking into consideration the amount of publicity she's getting...which makes her show more popular, as well as her products/fashion line.
When Paris Hilton still commands and gets $1M appearance money. Kardashian is currently the bigger "name". There's more money from selling exclusives/interviews/rights to the various media outlets.
#ThingsLongerThanKimsMarriage trending tag on Twitter is actually kinda funny. "Rebecca Black's career." "Tim Tebow's release." "Sarah Jessica Parker's face." "The NBA Lockout (which is exactly why it's over)."
Their wedding alone earned them 18 million. http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2011/08/21/kim-kardashian-wedding-cost-kris-humphries/ $18 mil/72 days of marriage -- well played.
All parties involved set out to make some money off this farce of a wedding and it worked. Can't say that I blame them for doing it given that they knew how much money they were set to make.
The real question now is. . . since it is exposed as a big ole shame from the begining [someone said they approached a NY Knick to marry her but her turned it down Humpries was like the 3rd choice] DID HE HIT IT?! Or was he just decoration while she freaked other people behind the scenes Rocket River
She was desperate to get married, since her 2 sisters are. Just a bad mistake. This Humphries guy seems like a total douche. Even his NBA scouting report makes him look like a douche.
