Jay-Z & Beyonce Top Forbes ‘Hollywood’s Top-Earning Couples’ List

Posted by Juan

We go inside the paper

Beyonce and Jay-Z

So first a black president now black couples holding down the top two spots on Forbes “Hollywood’s Top Earning Couples List.  Man I do see a light at the end of this long as tunnel. I guess that’s what happens when you mix an $82 million hip-hop brand and an $80 million R&B empire….Hollywood’s top power couple.  Jay-Z and his new old lady, Beyoncé Knowles, collectively bankrolled in $162 million between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008.

Coming in second was Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Collectively they were dwarfed by the Carters raking in $85 million over the past year. Will don’t call me “Fresh Prince” wore the pants in fam with $80 million in the year ending June 2008 after releasing films, I Am Legend, The Pursuit of Happyness and Hancock all within that 12 month span. Together the films drew $1.2 billion at box office.  As for the misses, Jada pulled in $5 million from her role in The Women and her production credit in the movie The Human Contract.  Oh and she owns a substantial stake in beauty line Carol’s Daughter.

Also making the list at No. 9 is Tony Parker and Eva Longoria with a combined income of $22.5 Million, No. 12 Sacha Baron Cohen (BORAT) and Isla Fisher with $20 million, Heidi Klum and Seal coming in at No. 15 with $15.5 mil and Josh Duhamel and Fergie at No. 18 with $13 million and Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez bring up the rear at 19 with $11 million.

    plus, when Beyonce gives birth the baby photos will go for $25 million easily!

  2. Why is it hard for me to even picture Jay-Z and Beyonce sharing a home. Even after admiting to the marriage they still seem like individuals. I wonder what they pre-nup looks like.

  3. Juan says:

    Do you think Will and Jada are jealous?

    You Go, B, get that bread:) You see she’s the coldest classy broad in the game. You read the article Eva Mendes did in Galmour about being a broad- a well respected female that dont take no shit from nobody:)
