A “Wedding For The Ages” Cost Her Father A Fortune
Before Grace Kelly could marry her prince a dowry had to be paid to Rainier III by Kelly’s dad. Given the prominence of the man she was marrying and the massive cost of the wedding, her dad was forced to cough up a whopping $2 million.
If her dad wasn’t a construction magnate the wedding might have never moved forward. In the end, her family became part of royalty which we assume was the only reason her dad paid $2 million to have his daughter settle down with the Prince of Monaco.
That’s a small price to pay to watch your future grandchildren grow up to become princes and princesses.
