The RM61mil wedding of Coco Lee

Coco Lee married Canadian businessman Bruce Rockowitz on Thursday.

The couple were rumoured to have spent US$20mil (RM61.27mil) on the wedding in Hong Kong.

Half of the money, around US$10mil (RM30.64mil), was spent on six-star hotel accommodations and air tickets for 300 friends and relatives from all around the world.

Around US$3mil (RM9.2mil) was spent on private jets to fly international superstars, including Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, to the Special Administrative Region.

The couple's wedding rings are worth nearly US$3mil, reported mayday.com.

Other expenditures include payments to a PR company preparing the wedding, Coco's wedding dresses and jewellery.

The couple, however, refused to comment on the rumours nor reveal the amount spent on the wedding.

Their two-day wedding celebrations started on Thursday evening when the couple held a Jewish ceremony at a hotel, as Rockowitz is a Jewish descent.

A banquet was held after that and Coco sang a song she wrote for the billionaire husband.

At an interview earlier, the singer said she was quite nervous, as it would be the first time she performed the song I Just Wanna Marry U.

"I wrote it pretty fast, 10-over hours, because it is about the story of me and Bruce," she said.

Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys and Ne-Yo were also invited to perform at the ceremony.

The couple held another banquet at Shaw Studios in Tseung Kwan O on Friday.

They will fly to Dimakya Island of Philippines for their Honeymoon. This island is where Coco arranged a surprise birthday party for Rockowitz three years ago.

Rockowitz, 53, was voted one of the Top 50 CEOs worldwide by a US magazine.

He went to Hong Kong alone when he was 19, becoming a tennis coach and later ventured into business.

He is now the CEO of Li & Fung Group, and has other businesses.

Rockowitz has two daughters from his previous marriage.
