Who's The World's Highest Paid Celebrity Couple??

Beyonce and Jay-Z are not the World's Highest-Paid Celebrity Couple according to Forbes' rankings (which, as usual, cover the bizarre time period May 2010 to May 2011for whatever reason). They are, however, the second-highest-paid famous megaunion, making them the richest pair in the music biz. Model Gisele Bundchen and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady earned the top spot on Forbes' list with $76 million, a mere $4million more than Jay and Bey (perhaps if Jigga spends a little less money mutilating Maybachs he can make up that gap next year). Forbes really likes telling us how rich Jay-Z and Beyonce are. In fact, this isn't even the first time this month the magazine has trumpeted Jay's wealth -- a week ago he was named their Cash King of Hip-Hop based on his earnings of $37 in the past 12 months. Beyonce ranks Number Nine on their list of Power Women and Number 29 on the Celebrity 100 (Jay comes in 38th). Thanks for rubbing it in, guys. (Launch-new.music)
