You ain’t got his lady money!!! Lol Hov was clearly not kidding around either with that line as the music industry’s most powerful couple placed second on the Forbes’ Highest-Paid Celebrity Couples list. Hit the jump to see how much their combined income this year was and see what other couples are in the top five!!
Over the past year, Hov and Bey hauled in some $72 million, making them No. 2 on the list. The Houston-born R&B diva pulled in $35 million, thanks mostly to business-focused deals such as a clothing line with Dereon and endorsement deals with L’Oreal, DirecTV, General Mills and others. As for Jay-Z, his earnings come from the 10-year $150 million Live Nation deal that he signed in 2008 and the cash he collects as a shareholder in New Jersey Nets, 40/40 Club chain and ad firm Translation.
So who is number one?? Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and NFL superstar Tom Brady take top honors with a combined $76 million. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take third place with $50 million, David and Victoria Beckham take fourth at $45 million, and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart place fifth with $40 million.
