Data Reveals Which Celebrities Spent the Most Looking for Love! 

Everyone loves a good celebrity wedding, whether it’s Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz or Kim Kardashian and her various wedding days.  

Fans can’t get enough of the glam factor celebrity weddings have; some use it as inspiration for the top wedding trends for the year ahead or even to take ideas for their own wedding day.

The more detail put into the celebrity wedding, the more fans become infatuated with the special event, with eyes on everything from designer wedding dresses to jewellery and wedding themes.  

One thing we all know about celebrity weddings is that budget probably isn’t their main concern. Nobody can put a price on love, but it’s interesting to see how much certain celebrities are willing to pay for love. 

 

Which celebrity had the most expensive wedding?  

No expense is usually spared with a celebrity wedding, unless they opt for a more intimate and low-key wedding like Lily Allen or Ariana Grande. The amount spent on destination weddings - million-pound wedding gowns, engagement rings and more - can be astronomical, and to be honest, we don't blame them as it's a once-in-a-lifetime special event…unless you're J-Lo or Kim Kardashian.  

According to recent data, Kourtney Kardashian Barker (nee Kourtney Kardashian) and Travis Barker’s wedding ranks number one for the most expensive celebrity wedding.

Overall, the wedding cost around £20 million, with the most expensive part being the couple's honeymoon at their destination wedding location in Italy. They also had guest star performances from opera singer Andrea Bocelli and DJ Cassidy for an additional £89,000.  

One iconic Kardashian wedding fans can’t forget is Kim's wedding to rapper Kanye West. The two tied the knot in Florence, Italy and spent a staggering £12 million, with the most expensive payment being her 20-carat diamond engagement ring which cost approximately £272,556,90.

Over the period of Kim and Kanye's marriage, Kanye upgraded Kim's engagement ring three times – resulting in the total cost for Kim Kardashian's engagement rings to be £11 million. This makes theirs of the most expensive celebrity engagements of all time.  

Ranking in third place for the most expensive wedding is Jennifer Lopez's wedding to actor Ben Affleck. The couple celebrated their new chapter with a three-day extravaganza at Affleck's estate in Ricebero, Georgia. As dramatic as we know J-Lo to be, you know her wedding had to be even more dramatic. The superstar had three outfit changes, the most expensive being her Ralph Lauren custom wedding dress with Swarovski crystals which cost approximately £4.9 million.
