Kyle Sandilands has shared the astronomical cost of his lavish honeymoon with his new bride Tegan Kynaston.
The radio shock jock spent weeks gallivanting around Europe with his wife and their son Otto to celebrate their marriage.
The newlyweds spent three weeks travelling around Spain and France, joined by several members of the KIIS FM team and their spouses, as well as Sandilands’ co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
Returning from their European summer getaway, Kyle and Jackie O decided to investigate the total cost of Kyle’s extravagant honeymoon.
Live on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday morning, Jackie O took a deep dive into Kyle’s credit card bill which totalled a hefty $514,000.
“I can’t believe … the amount of money you’ve spent on certain things blow(s) my mind,” Jackie told her co-host, who apparently hadn’t yet seen his itemised spend for the trip.
The price of their villa in Saint Tropez came to $155,000 alone, while Sandilands and Kynaston’s first class plane tickets to Paris set them back $35,000.
After two weeks in France with the KIIS FM crew, the 52-year-old shock jock spent $50,000 for an extra trip to Barcelona with Kynaston, 37, and their one-year-old son Otto, where their hotel accommodation cost approximately $10,000 per night.
When questioned about the exorbitant sum of his travels, Sandilands admitted he hadn’t kept track of his expenses while on holiday.
Also on the bill was $21,000 for the couple’s nanny, who accompanied them for the entire trip, which included her accommodation and meals.
“She gave her life for us for three weeks. That was a good investment,” Sandilands reasoned.
In terms of travel, Sandilands preferred the first class option throughout the whole trip, shelling out an additional $80,000 to “skip the queue” at airports.
“That’s excessive, wouldn’t you say?” Jackie asked her co-host. “Would you look back and think, that was worth it?”
“Yep, it’s always worth it,” Sandilands insisted. “Flying private – there’s no better way.”
Ground transport, boat travel, car rentals and flying over KIIS FM producer ‘Intern Pete’ Deppeler added another sizeable chunk to the total.
The gourmet food and drinks the group indulged in throughout his trip racked up a staggering $60,000, while Sandilands’ generous tipping added a further $20,000.
Extra indulgences that were added to the total were $6,000 on casinos and $6,000 on cigarettes and vapes, which Sandilands insisted he provided for the whole group.
In the end, the total cost of this ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ honeymoon trip was $514,000.
“Oh Kyle, the things you could buy with that. On a scale of 1 to 10, how good were the memories?” Jackie O asked him of the trip.
“In all honesty, I was so high for most of it, I don’t have any memories,” Sandilands said, confessing he’d made the most of France and Spain’s relaxed marijuana laws during the trip. “I slept a lot on that holiday.”
“But listen, you only get married once. Oh wait… that’s my second.”
