Easily one of the most talented actors of her generation, Joey King has been enjoying a lot of success since she was a teen. Best known for her role in Netflix's Kissing Booth movies, King is like other a-list actors who've starred in movies for the streaming service.
Similar to other Netflix stars who've become rich like the cast of Stranger Things, King has accumulated an impressive fortune. Still, when fans learned the truth about how much King's wedding to Steven Piet cost, many of them were blown away.
Who Is Joey King's Husband Steven Piet?
After Joey King rose to fame, she famously began dating her former Kissing Booth trilogy co-star Jacob Elordi. There were also rumors that King was involved with the former Modern Family star Nolan Gould in the past.
Even though King has been linked to other people in the past, it now seems like there is only one person for her. Together since 2019, King and Piet got engaged in February 2022 and walked down the aisle roughly a year and a half later.
Now that Piet is King's husband, he is solely known for that in most pop culture circles. However, Piet already was very accomplished in the entertainment industry before he even met King for the first time.
When King and Piet met in 2019, it was on the set of The Act, the acclaimed miniseries that garnered her many award nominations. A director and producer, Piet helmed two episodes of The Act and was the show's co-executive producer. Piet also directed episodes of other shows like Channel Zero and Briarpatch and he co-wrote and directed an indie movie titled Uncle John.
Born in Chicago, Piet studied film at the Savannah College of Art and Design. According to reports, Piet has also become close with King's family including her sisters.
How Much Did Joey King's Wedding Cost?
On September 2nd, 2023, Joey King and Steven Piet walked down the aisle in front of their family and friends. Based on what is known about the couple's nuptials, it sounds like every detail of their day was planned to perfection and absolutely gorgeous.
Over the years, there have been some celebrity weddings that were so expensive that they seemed like an exercise in excess. When it comes to King and Piet's big day, however, it seems like everything they did was designed to celebrate their love and loved ones. That said, if anyone thinks the couple didn't spend a fortune, they have another thing coming.
The first detail about King and Piet's big day that could have added a lot to their wedding's price tag is its location. While King and Piet are Americans and live in the country, they opted to tie the knot in Mallorca, Spain.
While there aren't any reports about their travel expenses, it seems safe to assume the couple made their way to Spain in style. If that is the case, King and Piet could have spent thousands on their own travel expenses.
If the couple also paid for any of their loved ones' travel, that expense would add up extremely quickly. That said, King's celebrity guests like Michelle Williams, Phoebe Dynevor and Cameron Fuller, Sabrina Carpenter, AnnaSophia Robb, and Taylor Swift could afford their own flights at least.
On top of King and Piet's famous guests, other loved ones made their way to La Fortaleza, "an iconic mansion-turned-exclusive hotel" for their ceremony. According to Bustle, holding their wedding there would have cost the couple roughly $42,850.
Bustle also reported that over her wedding weekend, King wore four different outfits including the dress she wore during her ceremony. All four of those outfits were made for the actor by Oscar de la Renta's team.
While speaking to Vogue about her wedding, King described how intensely the couple partied with their guests during the reception. “We danced so hard that we looked like we had taken showers because we were so sweaty."
In photos from the wedding that Vogue shared, King and Piet legitimately looked very sweaty. In a follow-up image, King and Piet could be seen jumping in a pool to cool off as they were both still wearing their expensive reception clothes.
In the caption that appeared alongside the image of the couple jumping in the pool, they apologize to Oscar de la Renta's team. With that in mind, it makes sense to look at how much four de la Renta outfits would cost.
According to preownedweddingdresses.com, previously used de la Renta wedding dresses from off the rack can cost as much as $10,000. Considering that figure and the fact that it seems safe to assume King's wedding dress and other bridal outfits weren't off the rack, her clothing budget would have been staggering.
In fairness, King may not have been forced to foot the bill for her four outfits since de la Renta may have provided them free for promotional purposes. Still, the fact that King's outfits conceivably could have cost hundreds of thousands says a lot even if she may not have foot the bill.
While nobody pays as much attention to what grooms wear, it is also worth noting that Piet wore an expensive-looking suit to their wedding. Then there are all the other expenses that King and Piet's wedding day would have cost.
In some of Vogue's other photos, they showed the elaborate and gorgeous flowers that were at King and Piet's wedding. They also showed other details like napkins monogrammed with King and Piet's last initials, food, drinks, and a designer bag that King carried over her wedding weekend.
With all the already mentioned expenses and everything else about their wedding that was expensive, King and Piet's wedding cost a truly staggering amount. With that in mind, it is a good thing that according to Celebrity Net Worth, King has a $4 million fortune as of the time of this writing.
