 Congratulations to Beyonce and Jay Z, who were named the top-earning couple of the year….again! Forbes has the duo at the top of their list for raking in $122 million last year alone.
And if you think that’s a lot, they made $40 million more than that the year prior! A combination of hit songs, fashion lines, and endorsement deals secured them the number one spot. And believe it or not, Beyonce is the bread winner of the family—she made $87 million last year, while Jay-Z pulled in $35 million.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are third on Forbes’ list with a net of $55 million. But we’re sure they’re only lower on the scale because they give so much money
to charity.
