How do you know how much money she has?? I'm sure she has more than the two of us combined...from years being a lawyer and definitely from being an on-air personality!
Besides if there was such a problem with her doing what she did, why didn't ABC say something about that earlier! It seems like they needed a cop-out...i'm not buying it.

I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood.
[begin sarcasm] Because there's no way that Star could have afforded a classy wedding without freebies. [/end sarcasm]
Like I said, I'm quite sure her bank account rivals that of a small country.

I actually just saw an article online a couple days ago about how the producers made all the View co-hosts attend a meeting where they were told to stop accepting freebies because it put Disney/ABC in a bad position. But Star continued to take home freebies even after they were told not to. I can't find the article but I'm still looking for it.
Edit: Found it. http://www.celebrityscum.com/?p=143
“She was always very self-absorbed and was always putting the show and the company [ABC] in a very funny position,” the insider said. “She would compromise everything by demanding and getting free stuff - breaching all sorts of [ABC owner] Disney policies.”
In one instance, the source said, the show’s co-hosts were told to attend a meeting where they were asked by producers to stop accepting expensive gifts.
A few weeks later, after appearing on an episode that originated from Dallas, Jones went home with a pair of diamond-studded cowboy boots that had been featured in a fashion segment, according to the source.”

Here is just Star's side from the transcript of the Larry King interview.
KING: Did you get a lot of freebies?
REYNOLDS: And I didn't get any money, absolutely the...
KING: You did?
REYNOLDS: There's no question that I used my celebrity as it related to making those wedding plans. There's also no question that this was an...
KING: Against ABC policy though.
REYNOLDS: Absolutely not.
KING: Not?
REYNOLDS: One hundred percent absolutely not. I've never had the opportunity to explain this but since the network decided they wanted to talk about it I will. There was an agreement between the network and me as to what segments I would do on "The View" and they insisted that they make the phone calls on my behalf.
KING: To get the...
REYNOLDS: In exchange for using certain people on the air, et cetera, et cetera. But I was not allowed to because that's a violation. Now, I'm a lawyer. Remember, I know how to not violate the law.
KING: So there was no exchange of gifts, no quid pro quo?
REYNOLDS: Where I would say oh, I'm going to get this cup as long as I talk about it on "The View," under no circumstances.

Nice non-answers and bonus points for throwing in an irrelevant comment about being a lawyer. HEY GUYS, I'M A LAWYER and guess what? It has nothing to do with anything!

I don't necessarily believe it. But it could be true. Just like it could be true that Star's side of the story is the truth.
