Kim Kardashian thanked her money-bag wedding guests, telling them their green gifts all went to charity, according to a published report today.
The reality starlet claimed that gifts she received for her made-for-TV wedding to Nets forward Kris Humphries went to the Dream Foundation, a California charity that assists terminally ill patients, celebrity Web site TMZ reported.
Kardashian’s vague statement didn’t make clear if she only forked over just cash gifts, or if she also liquidated non-cash presents as well.
“I would like to thank you for your generous and thoughtful wedding gift,” she wrote. “It has taken me some time to pull everything together but I wanted to let you know that the money for every gift received by me at my wedding has been donated to the Dream Foundation.”
She called the Dream Foundation “an organization that I am very passionate about.”
A rep for the Santa Barbara-based charity and Kardashian’s publicity could not be reached for comment.
TMZ reported the total donation to be about $200,000.
Wedding guests have also received a thank-you note from the Dream Foundation.
“Kim felt that this was the most fitting way to acknowledge and pay forward your gift with the same compassion and kindness it was intended,” the charity wrote to guests.
Kardashian filed for divorce after her 72-day “marriage” to Humphries.
They reportedly made about $17 million off the reality TV event — almost $15 million in a deal with E! for a four-hour special and more than $2 million from selling wedding pictures to People magazine.
The wedding ceremony cost $10 million to stage, but it’s been widely reported they didn’t spend a dime, with vendors and friends tossing money and services at them just to be included in the high-profile TV event.
