Beyonce and Jay-Z Top Highest Paid Celeb Couples List!!

It should come as no surprise that BEYONCE and her husband JAY-Z have topped Forbes magazine’s latest list of the world’s highest paid celebrity couples.

The new parents beat out both WILL and JADA PINKETT SMITH, and supermodel GISELE BUNDCHEN and her New England Patriots quarterback husband TOM BRADY.

Forbes starts counting celebrity dollars May 1st of the previous year, and in 2011 BEYONCE earned an estimated $40 million, while JAY-Z took home $38 million, making a combined income of $78 million.

Beyonce had a successful year with her album 4 going platinum in the US, and HOV’s Watch The Throne album and tour with KANYE WEST did incredible numbers.

DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM along with ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT are included on the list.
