It has been shown the more you spend on a wedding, the more likely you are to divorce.

I think my wedding was about a grand, maybe $1500.

I lucked out on my wedding. We have a lake house next door to the owners of a really nice outdoor venue. Got the venue for $2,000 and spent less than $1,000 on food because my mom is a caterer. We got a $10,000 wedding for a third of the price. There were 300 people at my wedding.

Definitely plenty of money spent, but a billion? Seems a bit too high, but wealthy folks have a tendency to exaggerate like that.

Don't believe that for a second. Not even a little bit. I don't doubt that they claim that, but I don't believe at all that they were paid anything close to that.

I'm with you...wedding planners, designers, photographers, florists, etc. etc. probably paid those celebrities to be a part of the wedding....

The celebs paid nothing, and may have even made money off of their weddings.

I'm glad that we have somebody with such knowledge and insight on billionaire weddings...hanging out here with us common folks.

No. you are not correct. It would be insult to him if someone else paid for his guests.
Here is how russian mind works. If it`s cheap, it`s not worth it.
Cousin of mine does all kinds of events here in Latvia. He charges to wealthy russians100 times more for the same stuff he offers locals. If he was to lower price, they would take their money elsewhere.

I think that the number is pretty inflated for attention. Obviously it's a lot more than the average wedding, but by inflating the actual cost it stokes the egos of the wealthy folks paying for it and gets attention for the folks being paid to appear, etc.

Lopez was paid just about a million dollars a couple of years ago to do a private concert in that general region, a figure that was probably also a little inflated. I don't believe that her rate has increased 7 fold in that time.

You could just about build Cowboy Stadium for close to a billion. No way that this wedding was that expensive.

Sorry. Elton cost 7 mill, Lopes 5 mill. There was also Beyonse, Enrique Iglesias, Ptricia Kaas, Sting. Orchestras , balet and more, more.

That looks like the stage setting for a Liberace Las Vegas show circa 1978.

You'd be wrong. Jennifer Lopez did almost a full set, and she is a million just to show up (maybe 2 songs). Add in Sting and Enrique Igelsias and other A-listers, and you are close to 20 million in talent fees alone.

I only know this because one of my sisters best friends attended the wedding (yes she is the daughter of another Russian billionaire).

Again, expensive wedding but the word billion is being thrown around simply to increase web clicks and stoke egos. The Russian billionaire who likely paid for it has a total net worth of $6.2B, now $5.2B? Not likely, especially with his primary industry in the shitter.

But hyperbole sells, so I doubt anyone connected to the event is going to be realistic if the rumors are inflated.

I was born with a different mind set I guess. Could of had a kickass wedding for $50,000 and then put the other $999.950.00 towards better things. maybe helping others , or doing something that people would remember me by.

The people who spent 1 billion on their wedding , in my mind are the biggest fucking retards on the planet. And extremely selfish , considering the economy over there.

Then you are pretty short sighted... That is $1,000,000,000 that is injected into the economy. BTW, it's his fucking money...he can do what he wants with it.

The people that try and tell others what they "SHOULD DO" with their money, in my mind, are the biggest fucking idiots on the planet.

The continuation of the wedding is this week in London. From what I understand just as expensive with multiple stars attending. You can count in jets for his guests from Moscow to London.

So now you're believing that the guy has actually spent $2B on his son's wedding? About a third of his total net worth?

PT Barnum was prophetic.......
