Paris Hilton has been in the limelight since the 2000s thanks to her trademark saying "That's hot" and her reality series The Simple Life. However, her sister Nicky Hilton's marriage is just as fascinating. Nicky Hilton's husband James Rothschild is a member of a famously wealthy family (and wealthy would be an understatement). Thanks to the Rothschild family net worth, all eyes were on Nicky Hilton's wedding back in 2015. In the years since, the couple has continued to live incredibly well. From Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild's pandemic lifestyle to whether Nicky Hilton signed a prenup, there are a lot of questions about the pair.
Considering the wealth of the Hilton family, it was clear that when Paris and Nicky Hilton got married, they would spend a lot of money on the ceremony and reception. Since Nicky married a member of the wealthy Rothschild family, her wedding could have been even more luxurious than it ended up being.
The Rothschild Family's Net Worth Means James Rothschild And Nicky Hilton's Wedding Could Have Cost Even More
The Rothschild family has a very high net worth. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Rothschilds have a net worth of $400 billion. That number would be more than enough to pay for a fancy and over-the-top wedding. As Celebrity Net Worth reported, the Rothschilds made their money in real estate and banking. According to Life & Style Magazine, Nicky Hilton's husband James Rothschild has a net worth of $1.3 billion.
Thanks to James's high net worth, it's clear that James and Nicky could have spent a fortune on their wedding in 2015. While they did pay a lot for their big day, it might be surprising to hear that they didn't spend even more. Nicky Hilton herself has a lot of money. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Nicky Hilton's net worth is $100 million.
In July 2015, The Standard published an article called "Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild's trillion dollar wedding at Kensington Palace," which suggests that this is how much the couple spent on their wedding.
While the couple hasn't confirmed the amount that they spent, it's clear that they didn't spare any expense. For one thing, as The Daily Mail reported, Nicky Hilton wore a dress by Valentino that she spent £50,000 on. Since Nicky Hilton herself has a net worth of $100 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth, she could have picked any dress that she wanted. As it turns out, as WWD.com reported, Valentino designed a dress especially for Nicky.

In an interview with W Magazine, Nicky Hilton talked about her wedding dress and shared more about the process of working with the famous and beloved designer. She explained that she traveled to a few places to get the dress fitted. This means that she spent quite a lot of money on plane rides and associated travel costs.
Nicky said:
"The dress was probably my favorite parts of the whole thing. Just flying to Paris for the fittings at their beautiful atelier. It was just so glamorous. We started in New York with sketches. I think we ended up with five or six [fittings]. I had to do my last one a few days before in Paris, and they were doing their couture show in Rome, so it was a bit crazy."
The Standard reported that the couple got married at Kensington Palace Orangery. The publication also reported that Nicky had a lot of gatherings before the actual wedding, including a Beverly Hills party that Nicky and Paris Hilton's mother Kathy Hilton threw along with Brenda Richie.
While it's likely that Kathy paid for that party, James Rothschild and Nicky Hilton were able to pay for anything that they wanted.
The wedding venue and dress alone likely cost tens of thousands of dollars. When adding up the decor, food, and other costs, it seems clear that Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild spent a pretty penny on their wedding.
