Jay Z & Beyonce Top Forbes List of Highest Earning Celebrity Couples

THE GLAM LIFE: ENTERTAINMENT

The Carters land at the top of the food chain of highest earning celebrity couples!

C'mon people, are we really surprised?!  Not at all.  In fact, if they weren't at the top of the list, something would be just wrong.  I mean, let's think about it like this, you take a work horse like Beyonce and a super intelligent business man, like Jay Z.  Put them both together and they equal an unrivaled powerhouse match up.  Not to mention, they have one of the most endearing, fairy tale, Bonnie & Clyde type of ride or die love that we have seen (which seems genuine) in the entertainment industry to date.  Which is a rarity now days (just being honest). They have it all.  What gets better than this?  Um...pretty much nothing.

So, let's recap, both are entertainers at the top of their games, with a gazillion hits under their belts. Jay Z’s Watch the Throne album went platinum and launched a world tour that brought in $1.4 million per night in America.  Dayuum!  Queen Bey, who took a miniscule break to become mother to Blue Ivy in January last year, and was back with a vengeance this year with her Mrs. Carter World Tour, grossing an average of $2 million per night.  That's some serious cheese.  But we all  know some of that money came right from those high a$$ ticket prices.  I mean, you know I love me some Bey, but those ticket prices were just way too high (I'm jus' sayin).  

Of course this isn't it for the power couple.  They have other interests too.  Jay Z is part owner of the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, home to the Brooklyn Nets.  However, he recently sold his stake in the team and will therefore be dumping his share into the arena, all because he started his own sports agency: Roc Nation Sports, which represents star athletes like Kevin Durant, Victor Cruz and Skylar Diggins.  Bey also has a collection of fragrances and her House of Deréon clothing line.  And not to leave out the adorable Blue Ivy, as she will most likely be joining the Carter family business sooner than later.  She not only has already been featured in her Dad's song, 'Glory', but her parents have also petitioned to trademark her name for the right to use it on anything from baby clothes to toys.  Hot damn!  I'm definitely not mad at them for that.  Winning.

Bey and Jay earned $15 million more than the No. 2 couple on the list of highest earning celebrity couples: Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.  Ha!  I'm lovin' it.
