Jay Z & Beyonce are accustomed to
raking in millions for their entertainment industry work, but this year Beyonce
and Jay-Z have reportedly pulled in enough dough to be named the World's Highest
Paid Celebrity Couple.
According to Forbes magazine's latest
list, the power couple earned an estimated $78 million in the financial year
ending May 1, giving them the coveted number one spot over last year's couple,
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady.
Though the "Single Ladies" songstress
took some time off from her busy schedule this year after giving birth to their
daughter Blue Ivy, Bey managed to make an impressive $40 million on her own from
sponsorship deals, album sale and royalties from her back catalogue.
Bringing in the other half of the
Hollywood couple's income was the 42 year-old rapper who proved he still has
what it takes, as he raked in a whopping $38 million from his Watch the Throne
album and tour with Kanye West, continued book sales and income from his many
business endeavors.
Aside from the top spot, other celeb
couples who topped the charts were Gisele and Tom, who still managed to pull off
the number two spot with a close $72 million, David and Victoria Beckham with
$54 million and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who pulled in an impressive $45
million.
