Picture That: Kris Jenner ‘None Too Happy’ She Couldn’t Get Cut Of Profitable Pie After Kanye West Refused To Sell Wedding Pics
June 16 2014, Published 8:50 a.m. ET
Kris Jenner is “none too happy” she hasn’t, and won’t, see a dime from the sale of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding photos.
The 58-year-old, an insider told the NY Post, “very much wanted to sell the pictures” — which drummed up more than $11 million in bids from media outlets — but was thwarted after West passed on any deals involving the images documenting his nuptials.
“Kim and Kanye were getting offers for money,” the insider said, “and they decided with their teams not to take any.”
The rapper was influenced not to sell the images, taking a cue from how fellow hip-hop icons Jay-Z and Beyonce conducted their business affairs after the first pics of their daughter Blue Ivy curried up a similar clamor from media outlets. Instead, the super-couple have doled out the coveted shots on their terms, garnering headlines and interest to their social media accounts, as well as using never-seen-before shots on Beyonce’s 2013 HBO documentary “Life Is But a Dream.”
