We really didn't need another reminder that Jay Z and Beyoncé are among the most successful power couples in America, but Forbes has decided to refresh our memories anyway. The musically inclined husband and wife duo have been named as the highest-earning celebrity couple by the business magazine.
Between June 2012 and June 2013, Jay and Bey have earned an estimated $95 million combined. While Jay Z and Kanye’s Watch The Throne tour reportedly brought in $1.4 million per night, Bey also kicked off her highly publicized Mrs. Carter Show tour this year, which attracted an estimated $2 million per night.
In addition to selling pricey tickets to larger-than-life concerts, the couple continue to juggle multiple business ventures, including Roc Nation Sports, Bey’s fragrance line and of course her clothing line, House of Dereon. As if that weren’t enough, this year Jay also sold his share in the Brooklyn Nets basketball team and will soon have to turn over his shares in the Barclays Center as well.
The hip hop moguls are said to have earned $15 million more than runners-up, Tom Brady and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen. Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came in at number three, earning an estimated $50 million this year.
Nice!
