Answering your questions:-
Gear
A good supply of pink shirts, white pants and some quality sunglasses should be OK. You will also need a Fortnum and Mason picnic hamper, some quality French Champagne, and a decent collapsible table and enough chairs for your party to sit on the summit to enjoy your celebratory meal. Oh, and if you insist on going during the summer you will also need to take an ice bucket and some ice with you to ensure the champagne is nicely chilled.
Shirpas
You can take any number of Shirpas, but I would also suggest you take six Sherpas who can carry the spare pink shirts and all the other gear. Seven if you really want to do the climb in summer as it will take at least one Sherpa to haul all the ice you need for your champagne, ( I am assuming one bottle per day for the whole trip, plus one each on summit day).
When is the best time to go during summer
Very early summer if you want to be in time to use natural ice before it all melts in the summer heat.
How many oxygen bottles will I need to buy per person
That really depends on how much hot air you think you can produce. From what I've seen so far I would think rather a lot.
Llamas
You didn't mention these but they can be great company and also satisfy many of your little needs during the trip. Rhyang, one of our regulars here, knows a lot about these lovely cuddly animals and will be able to supply some unblemished, (well almost unblemished), ones for you.
I do help this helps.
