Last year
Jay-Z and
Beyonce had to settle for the #2 position on
Forbes‘ Highest-Paid Celebrity Couples list. But with so many high-profile splits over the past 12 months, it’s no surprise that Blue Ivy Carter’s big bucks mom and pop
have finally ascended the throne this time around. The money-monitoring
publication notes that Bey raked in a cool $40 million between May 1,
2011 and May 1, 2012 from music sales, royalties off her old material
and her lucrative endorsement deals.
Hova, on the other hand, saw an additional $38 million hit his bank account thanks to his
Kanye West pair-up
Watch The Throne
and the album’s related world tour. Ever the smart businessman, Jay’s
also got cash rolling in from deals with companies outside the music
realm, such as ad firm Translation, cosmetics company Carol’s Daughter
and pro basketball team the Brooklyn Nets. Got to pay those bills, bills, bills, after all.
