Jay-Z & Beyonce |
Forbes Magazine just named Jay-Z and Beyonce the highest paid celebrity couple
in the world. Together they made $78 million - from May 2011 to May
2012. Beyonce - $40m, Jay Z - $38m. And Beyonce took a break for most of
the year.
Take Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, for example.
Last year’s runners-up on the list of The World’s Highest-Paid
Celebrity Couples, the duo has now climbed one spot to top this year’s
ranking. Knowles, who took a break from her hectic touring schedule in
2011 to give birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter, still collects big
paychecks from old hits. Besides, the singer’s new album went platinum
in the U.S., not to mention her non-musical ventures and endorsement
deals, which all helped to bring her total earnings between May 1, 2011
and May 1, 2012 to $40 million, according to data from the latest
Celebrity 100 list.

And
as the male half of music’s first couple, Jay-Z isn’t far behind his
wife. The hip-hop mogul made millions from Watch the Throne, his
musical collaboration with pal Kanye West, and even more from the tour
that followed. Add to that a bevy of non-musical enterprises such as ad
firm Translation and cosmetics company Carol’s Daughter and the result
is a staggering $38 million that he has brought home in twelve months,
putting the couple’s annual income at $78 million.
