Kim Kardashian didn't earn a single cent from her marriage to Kris Humphries - or so her mother would have us believe.
The 55-year-old took to the airwaves today to defend her daughter amid mounting speculation the 'fairytale wedding' was nothing but a publicity stunt to boost the Kardashian coffers.
The entire fanfare reportedly generated a staggering £18m in magazine and television deals, plus endorsements.
But Jenner dubiously claims Kim shelled out millions of dollars of her own and 'didn't earn a dime'.
The mother of six and manager of her family brand found time to discuss the debacle while plugging her new book, Kris Jenner... And All Things Kardashian, on the Johnjay and Rich In The Morning radio show today.
Addressing reports that the lavish Montecito nuptials on August 20 saw Kim earn a fortune, Jenner said: 'The one thing that is the most annoying is the rumour that she made millions off of this wedding.
'She didn’t make a dime and, actually, spent millions of dollars on the wedding  - so it’s not something that she thought would ever not be happily ever after.'
Kim filed for divorce from Humphries yesterday after just 72 days of marriage.
Their short union has drawn criticism far and wide, from fellow celebrities to Twitter users convinced the entire wedding a cynical business endeavour.

Sources close to Kim and Kris have also revealed the nuptials were a hoax, according to RadarOnline.com.
But in an attempt to fan the flames, Jenner insisted she was proud of her daughter for making such a 'difficult' decision.
 

She went on:'Kim had to make a very difficult, grown-up decision. She needed to do that on her own.
'She’s not a five-year-old girl, she’s a 30-year-old woman [Kim is actually 31] and right now Kim needs support from her mom today.'
All a hoax? Kim and Kris walk down the aisle on their big day, but some sources are claiming the whole thing was merely a money-making exercise

Jenner went on to say that Kim would probably donate all of her wedding gifts to charity.
'I’m sure Kim will make a ginormous donation as she does all the time anyway very quietly to a wonderful deserving charity or a children’s hospital.'
Jenner added that she wished Kim had tried counselling before severing ties.
She said: 'I met and married Bruce in five months and it is 20 years later and we’re still going strong and I think that obviously I feel that way about marriage because it has it’s ups and downs.'

'Kim's making a huge mistake,' says Humphries's parents

Kris Humphries's parents have told friends Kim has made a 'huge mistake' dumping their son. 
William and Debra Humphries have told friends of their disappointment that Kim filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage.
According to TMZ.com Kris's family are still holding out hope the couple will get back together and the divorce will not go through.

But she added: '[Kim's] not the first person in the world to get a divorce, and she won't be the last. She just happens to be a very public person with a couple of television shows on the air so it makes it bigger than life.'
A huge chunk of the $18m Kim and Kris reportedly earned - around $15 million - is thought to have been TV rights which formed part of the family's exclusive deal with E!
Whatever the exact breakdown, their marriage ending now means that the whole haul has earned the couple about $250,000 per day.
They bagged a reputed $1million from People magazine for exclusive shots of the apparently joyous occasion too.
That's not to include the value of the numerous other magazine covers that have added grist to the mill of the Kardashian publicity machine.
Even before the big day, Kim was paid $500,000 to host her bachelorette party at Tao in Las Vegas.


But then, however heartbroken he is, Kris has benefited hugely.
He was earning around $40,000 per game but since marrying Kim, has been hitting the quarter of a million mark each day.
This is sure to be a loss he feels keenly.
Especially as Kim seems determined to sever ties sharply and swiftly.
E! report that alongside the prenuptial agreement she put in place, the brunette wants property separated immediately, and for each party to pay their own legal fees.
She listed 'miscellaneous jewellery and other personal effects' as well as 'earrings and accumulations' amassed before, during and after her marriage to be confirmed as separate property but no word on whether that includes her $2 million, 20.5-carat diamond ring.
It was business as usual for Kim yesterday, as she jetted off to Australia to attend the Melbourne Cup just hours after filing the divorce papers.

She said yesterday in a statement it was 'not an easy decision' while Humphries insisted he still loved his wife and wanted to fight to save the marriage.
Meanwhile, Kim and Kris's wedding planner has said her heart goes out to the reality star.
Sharon Sacks helped organised their lavish wedding and she said she was sad to hear their marriage is over after just 72 days.
She told Life & Style: 'Of course if I said I wasn't sad about them splitting, I wouldn't be telling the truth.
'It is always sad and very disheartening when two beautiful people so in love for many reasons realise that although they care for each other, they are not destined to be life partners.'
She added: 'This takes a lot of courage, and I'm very proud that they were able to make this difficult decision.
'They were a joy to work with. What we created together was absolutely amazing, so unique and so special. My heart goes out to both of them.'

TWEET NOTHINGS: How fellow celebs reacted to the news

Celebrities and VIPs took to Twitter in their droves in the wake of news Kim was filing for divorce from Kris.
While some were sympathetic, the reaction was largely cynical, with hashtags 'thingslongerthanKimsmarriage', 'REASONSYOURSINGLE', and 'DIVORCE' among the topics trending on Twitter.
CNN talk show host Piers Morgan - who has interviewed Kim in the past - retweeted: 'Kim Kardashian sold the rights to her wedding for $17.9 million. Her marriage lasted 72 days. That comes to a nifty $10,358.80 per hour.'
Late Show with David Letterman writer Justin Stangel weighed in: 'Wow -- @KimKardashian getting divorced. I'm shocked! Reality show weddings usually last.'
Some of Humphries' fellow NBA player mocked the divorce too. Houston Rockets' player Terrence Williams tweeted: 'You can't make fake love work not even money.... It's just TV entertainment smh.'
Samantha Ronson, whose ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan was a guest at the wedding, exclaimed: 'Wait, so it was actually a real wedding?'
Musician Questlove was thinking along the same lines: 'Wait, Kim Kardashian got married?'
Gossip blogger Perez Hilton was seemingly angered that Kim had apparently made a mockery of her right to marriage. He wrote: 'I love @KimKardashian, but as a gay man in America who is treated as a second class citizen when it comes to civil marriage, I am offended!'
There were a few supporters out there, however. Kelly Osbourne tweeted: '@KimKardashian thinking of you stay strong don't listen to the haters listen to your heart! Xoxo.'
And music mogul Russell Simmons also offered some kind sentiments: 'Hoping the best for Kim'
