Being an equestrian is an expensive hobby for sure. Buying and maintaining horses takes a huge chunk out of one’s pocket. However, Jennifer Gates did not have to worry in this regard. She was, after all, born into a family worth around $130 billion.

Bill Gates has time and again emphasized that his children will not inherit his massive fortune. However, when it came to the wedding day of his eldest child the tech mogul did not spare any expense. It is only natural that someone with such a humongous purchasing power will have an extra special celebration. Well, Jennifer’s wedding was as perfect as one can get.

The colossal cost of Jennifer Gates’ wedding

In October 2021, Jennifer Gates married Egyptian-American equestrian Nayel Nassar in a splendid ceremony held on her sprawling 124-acre horse farm in North Salem. Fox Business conferred with a wedding planner to confirm exactly how lavish the ceremony was. According to Jen Glantz, founder of Bridesmaid for Hire and The First Years of Marriage, “So many people want a picture-perfect day like Jennifer Gates’ wedding date and the reason why they can’t have it is because Gates’ wedding cost 66 times more than the average wedding.”

From the humongous structures to help guests mingle, to the fancy portable toilets, everything was as top-notch as it can get. Glantz said, “If you look extra close at their wedding photos, you see how no detail was spared or done inexpensively. Even the porta-potties look fit for royalty and probably cost over $20,000.“ Glantz also suggested an estimate for the entire wedding ceremony, adding, “If the average wedding is around $30,000, I’d estimate her wedding was $2 million, if not more.”

The famed wedding planner explained that the flower budget itself could be between $75,000 to $100,000, which is way more than the budget of the entire wedding for most. Jenn’s wedding party had around 300 people, which according to Glantz “probably put the tab over $250,000 including food, open bar, serving staff.” Further talking about the security budget, she added that it, “must have cost over $75,000.”

Her wedding was fit for the daughter of tech royalty, and will probably be counted in the most affluent wedding ceremonies of this era for times to come.
