Forbe’s Top-Earning Celebrity Couples

The numbers are in. It looks like Beyonce and Jay-Z came in at number one on Forbes’ list of the 15 top earning celebrity couples. The pop star and rapper raked in a combined $162 million last year from their records, movie roles, and endorsement deals for products like Budweiser and American Express.

Though Beyonce and Jay-Z are both big recording stars in their own right, together they are a force to be reckoned with. Sliding in second with considerably less is Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart with $69 million. Unlike Jay-Z and Beyonce, Ford and Flockhart’s income is quite skewed in Ford’s favor. Ford brought in $65 million for his film roles last year, while Flockhart earned a reported $4 million for her lead role in ABC’s Brothers and Sisters. In contrast, Beyonce raked in a whopping $87 million and Jay Z earned $35 million.

Other top-earning couples include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ($55 million), Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith ($48 million), David and Victoria Beckham ($46 million), and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi ($36 million).
