Jay-Z and Beyoncé Named World’s Highest-Paid Celebrity Couple by Forbes



XXL writes:

Forbes has named Jay-Z and Beyoncé the world’s highest paid celebrity couple of 2012 after they grossed a combined $78 million last year. B earned $40 million, while Hov tallied $38 million, largely in part to the Watch the Throne album and tour he did with Kanye West, in addition to all his business ventures.

In being named the highest paid celeb couple, Jigga and B took the title from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen, who were the top-grossing celebrity couple last year. They came close to repeating as Forbes top couple after taking home $72 million, just six million less than the music power couple.

Soccer superstar and global icon David Beckham and wife Posh Spice Victoria Beckham grossed a combined $54 million to come in at No. 3, while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie pocketed a combined $45 mil for the fourth spot. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were ranked fifth for the $40 million they earned.

Awwww, King of America you must really be one of them soft a** ho-es who know they can't fit in the street Rap music environment (too soft for that) so they try and reach for a closer and safer version of it, this Hip-Pop shi-t. Then, you start saying "hater" to anyone that says how bad your favorite Pop-Rapper is, again, just so you fit in. Keep on talking like you're a billionaire on blogs (nobody is impressed by that), oh and btw, are you trying to sound black or something? Lol.

Foxy Brown must be somewhere slapping herself right now.....It's funny how rapper Foxy Brown claim to have brought Jay-Z to such success, when her a** is still living in her Mother's house in Brooklyn while Jay-Z is making history with his wife Beyonce...This is great for them...I speak about certain people, but Jay-Z and Beyonce are very hard workers...They deserve it

Congrats to Jay Z & Beyonce! A reminder: Jay Z was ranked #4 on The Source's Top 50 Lyricists Of All Time List. Where did 50 Cent rank again? Somebody remind me...

I Love and hate my people at the same time. Have you been so bamboozled that you truly believe that the only way a Black man or women makes money is through selling their soul? Or are you so uneducated that you are unable to think critically so that you can make rational conclusions? You read on a website like this, worldstar or mediatakeout about the illumnati and you buy right into it. God forbid that a Black person has the drive and the will to be successful. It is a shame that we belittle our own in order to make our situation seem better. Funny because people say the effects of slavery no longer exist; I beg to differ.
