8. People Magazine’s Cover of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s Secret Wedding: $2 million
With a total of 300 guests and 200 security personnel, the not so secret wedding of Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey happened.
What other magazine paid to have exclusive photos of the wedding than People Magazine?
The wedding happened in Bahamas at Mariah’s estate on April 2008 during a picture-perfect sunset ceremony by the beach.
People Magazine paid $2 million for the exclusive rights to the shots, and they also published an interview on how the two met and how they decided to tie the knot in a surprise wedding after only six weeks of romance.
