  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.
