Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z have topped Forbes magazine's World's Highest Paid Celebrity Couples list 2013.
The
Single Ladies hit-maker and the rapper - who also owns record label Roc
Nation - took the crown for the second year running having earned a
staggering $95million together in the financial year June 2012 to June
2013.
The figures in the
list show that the couple's tours, businesses and endorsement deals saw
them rack up $17million more than last year.
Top earners: Beyoncé and Jay Z earned a staggering $95million together in just one year
Bringing in the cash: Jay Z made $1.4m per night
with his and Kanye West's Watch The Throne tour, while Beyonce made $2m
every night with her The Mrs Carter Show world tour
Jay Z's collaborative
effort with Kanye West, Watch The Throne, spurned a platinum selling
album and a world tour which earned $1.4million a night.
Second place: Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady were $15million behind Beyonce and Jay Z, with combined earnings of $80million
Meanwhile, Beyonce - who took
a year hiatus after giving birth to Blue Ivy in January 2012 - earned
$2million a night for her current The Mrs Carter Show world tour.
The
power couple earned $15million more than Gisele Bundchen and her
footballer husband Tom Brady who came in second place with combined
earnings of $80million.
The
supermodel out-earned her partner by $4million as her line of
flip-flops with Brazilian label Grendene - in which she owns shares -
helped double her wages from last year.
Meanwhile Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt earned a hefty $50million despite the fact they do not own any large businesses.
The
couple - who have six children together Shiloh, seven, Maddox, 12, Pax
nine, Zahara, eight, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - pulled
in the majority of their income from film fees while Brad Pitt earned a
reported $7million for his Chanel no.5 advert last year.
Ashton Kutcher and girlfriend Mila Kunis came in fourth place, while the fifth spot was taken by Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
While
Kanye had earned his half mainly through his Watch The Throne tour, Kim
earns an estimated $10million a year through filming Keeping Up With
The Kardashians and her various spin-off ventures.
Noticeably
absent from the list was Victoria and David Beckham. While the pair are
he golden couple in the UK, they have both had success internationally -
David with his football career and Victoria with her clothing
collections.
