Beyonce and Jay-Z tops list of Hollywood’s Top-Earning Couples

After getting all the buzz for their hush-hush marriage early this year, power couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z is the talk of the town once again after they topped Forbes’ list of top-earning Hollywood couples, thanks to a combined income of $110 million in 2007. The combined income of the couple is however estimated at $160 million from June 2007 to 2008.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are both popular figures in the American music industry albeit in different categories—Jay-Z reigns in the world of hip hop while Beyonce reigns in the R&B and Bootylicious category. However, there is not arguing that the couple reign supreme when it comes to high-paying endorsements.

Next in the list is power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith with $57 million worth of combined earnings although majority of that came from Smith’s movie hits like Han, The Pursuit of Happiness and I Am Legend. Victoria and David Beckham is at number three with a combined income of $39 million.

The list also includes Nicole Kidman and country singer Keith Urban, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as well as Eva Longoria of “Desperate Housewives” and Tony Parker.
