Jay Z, Beyonce Named Highest Paid Celebrity Couple on 2013 Forbes List

Beyonce Jay Z top earning celebrity couple on Forbes ListJay Z and Beyonce don’t just top the 2013 Forbes List of highest-earning celebrity couples, they dominate—earning nearly a combined $100 million since June 2012.

The Carters are a cute family, but as it turns out, the pair is also a match made in fiscal paradise – not that anyone is surprised to hear that.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter’s earnings from June 2012 to June of 2013 came in at $95 million: with Mrs. Carter earning much more than her husband.

Make no mistake about it—both of the musicians saw some incredible profits last year, but even Jay Z’s Watch the Throne tour couldn’t touch the Mrs. Carter World Tour, which hasn’t even ended yet.

While the New York rapper’s tour pulled in about $1.4 million in just one night, Beyonce’s shows have been earning an average of $2 million per night.

In addition to their extremely successful music careers, both of the stars have other interests which have also put even more money in their pockets.

Beyonce still makes a profit from her clothing line and fragrance collection, in addition to getting some serious cash from smart business deals with Rent the Runway and H&M.

Beyonce, Jay Z top earning celebrity couple on Forbes List Jay Z pulled in major stacks from his deal with Samsung, his stake in the Barclays Center, and of course, selling his share of the Brooklyn Nets.

Blue Ivy’s daddy has already recruited some big name clients like Kevin Durant and Victor Cruz.

This also means it will be time for the “99 Problems” rapper to sell his share of the Barclays Center as well, which is expected to earn the rapper-turned-sports agent another $1.5 million. Considering how much the arena has profited,  amount could increase.

Needless to say, it won’t be long before Blue Ivy will be turning some big profits as well. With these two megastars as her parents, she is pretty much guaranteed success.

It doesn’t matter what industry she wants to enter, it’s safe to say that her parents will be able to open any doors for her.

Tom Brady and supermodel wife second highest paid couple Beyonce and Jay Z came in on the list far ahead of other star couples who make big bucks.

Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen made a combined $80 million from June 2012 to June 2013: making Bundchen the highest-paid model in the world.

Next, was none other than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who made an estimated $50 million. What made their rank on the list so special, however, is the fact that they are the only couple in the top three without side businesses creating more revenue.

Brad and Angelina’s net incomes came mostly from their earnings as actors and not much else.
