Facebook mogul Sean Parker to pay 2.5 million dollars for wedding violation

Facebook mogul Sean Parker to pay 2.5 million dollars for wedding violation
San Francisco: Facebook billionaire Sean Parker's 10 million dollar California wedding just got even more expensive.

The California Coastal Commission and Parker said they have reached a 2.5 million dollar settlement to pay for coastal conservation programs after the Napster co-founder was caught building a movie-set-like wedding site in a protected area without proper permits.

Parker, the former president of Facebook, married singer-songwriter Alexandra Lenas on Saturday.

Parker built a cottage, fake ruins and staircases near redwoods and a coastal stream without getting permission.

The commission said the money will be used to purchase public easements and hiking trails and as grants for coastal conservation nonprofits.

Parker said in a statement that he was excited to support conservation-related projects.
