Jay Z, Beyonce Are Richest Celebrity Couple For Second Year In A Row: Earned $95 Million In 2013, Beat Gisele Bundchen And Tom Brady
Jay Z and Beyonce are the highest-earning celebrity couple this year, for the second year in a row. Their combined earnings are an estimated $95 million between June 2012 to June 2013.
Singer Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z are the highest-earning celebrity couple for the second consecutive year, Forbes magazine said on Thursday, Yahoo! News reports.
Beyonce's "Mrs. Carter" tour and Jay Z's million-selling "Watch the Throne" album and world tour pushed the musical couple ahead of model Gisele Bundchen and her football-player husband Tom Brady, who pulled in $80 million and retained the No. 2 position, according to Yahoo! News.
Brady's three-year extension deal with the New England Patriots included a $30 million signing bonus. Bundchen is the world's highest paid supermodel, with $42 million in yearly earnings, CBS News reports.
Forbes said Beyonce, 32, earned $11 million more than her husband Jay Z, due to her successful world tour, which grossed an average of about $2 million per show. She also has a clothing line and fragrances.
Jay Z, 43, also sold his stake in the Brooklyn Nets basketball team and has started his own sports agency.
Jay Z's latest top-selling album "Magna Carta ... Holy Grail" was released on July 4 and was not eligible to count toward his earnings.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie rounded out the top 3 on Forbes' list, taking in an estimated $50 million.
