After learning how much Kardashian and Humphries were set to get paid for selling wedding-related exclusives to media outlets, I couldn’t help but wonder if Kim Kardashian was a brilliant marketer who engineered a fake wedding to get a multi-million dollar payout. Kardashian has been very smart with marketing herself in other ways, for example, getting paid up to $10,000 for a single sponsored tweet.

I asked one of my colleagues, Anna, who watches Ms. Kardashian’s show, if there was ever actually a marriage license shown on TV as proof of the marriage.
