Jay-Z and Beyonce have just topped a list of Hollywood's richest couples. Obviously they're so high ranking because both of these two business savvy. From 2007-2008 Jay-Z brought in $82 million from his deal with Live Nation, while Beyonce has raked in $80 million through everything she does in fashion, music, etc. The rest of the richest couples are:
Personally I'm surprised not to see Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on there. He always earns an insane amount for his movies and she's got to be getting paid big bucks for all the campaigns she's in! And who would have guessed that Harrison and Calista are still racking it in! Are you surprised to see any of these names on the list? And who did you think was really rich that didn't actually make the top ten?
Wow, they're almost twice as rich as the #2 slot. I'm actually surprised that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt only have $34 million. Maybe because they give so much to charity? Tom Cruise I'm also surprised is missing.

Yeah...maybe Beyonce should jump on the F-ing bandwagon like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and donate more money to charity (instead of buying $70,000 tables!!!). Also, the size of her wedding ring is just as obnoxious as her greedy-ness.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe if Brad and Angie did not give so much away they wound be at the top. Maybe these other couples should learn something from them. You never hear anthing about them giving to charities.
Some rich people giveto charity, they don't announce it like Brad and Angie.

yea i agree. on the giving.. maybe they do and we just dont know it.. and when u think about it they all make the money b4 they give it away. so its still counted in the yearly earnings.. BUT REMEMBER THEY CAN BUY WHATEVER THE **** THEY WANT TO. YOU KNOW Y? BECAUSE ITS THEIR ****ING MONEY. THAT THEY EARNED.!!!!!!!!!!! U DIDNT HELP THEM EARN IS SO DONT TELL THEM HOW TO SPEND IT!
this is the money they made before it was giving away to charity, plus this is only for a year all this people have a whoooooole lot more than this..jay-z and b have a net worth of 990 million at this point in time
But Tom and Katie didn't do alot from 2007-2008, did they? And Harrison got paid for Indy 4 and Calista for Bros and Sis...... And what campaigns is Katie in?
Tom Cruise must have been an oversight. Unless, he has given most of his money to xenu. When Nicole married Keith, I thought their combined income was a lot higher than that.

Katie Holmes does what campaigns????
the list makes me want to puke. these people don't deserve this money!
It's not about who deserves it or not.....Beyonce worked very hard since she was 8 years old to become a famous singer....who am I to say she didn't pay her dues. My problem is how she's earned her money.....yeah she has a good voice, but it's the sex that sells....many great singers have come and gone without her stature, because they refuse to wear dress scantily or sexy for their careers. That's messed up!
even though they aren't married or anything, Vanessa Hudgens & Efron have to have a decent amount of money just from HSM Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher Chris Brown & Rihanna Matthew Broderick and SJP ??? I guess they aren't in the $20 mil bracket
Wow. I thought Brad and Angelina had WAY more money! Not that they're like....in the poor house...and gonna be looking for a little shack anytime soon....but I really thought they had more than that!

thats only the money the made from the 1 june 07 to 1 june 08...... they have around 200 million plus!
The fact that Jay-z and Beyonce are number one doesn't surprise me at all. Jay-Z has his rocafella company/products, whatever, that have a lot to do with the Rockefeller. Hence the name. They are one of the most RICHEST families on this damn planet, next to Rotchilds. Also, Jay-Z is a known closeted FREEMASON. Without connections to the bad guys, he would have nothing. The **** sold his soul to money and he will pay for it in the end. The funniest thing is, that people MISSED the message in the song UMBRELLA by Rhianna. Jay-Z knew about the upcoming Financial Crisis long before it happened and his rap-part in the song shows it. (The video is so clear of who is working behind these people, that it's not even funny...) From the Umbrella video; What does 6 men, 6 women and 6 splashes of water form? 666. Coincidence? Sadly no. See these videos explain the real meaning behind Umbrella video; http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F94D769E3AF139A8
Wow who knew!
It was only for this last year - not "total wealth".

i don't get that campaigns comment either. my guess is that katie spent all tom's money doing retail therapy.
My guess is the numbers are based on total earnings...not including expenses or charitable donations... Jay-Z and Beyonce work really hard...they own record labels, clothing lines, as well as she has two movies coming out soon, and most artist make their money touring, and she has a huge fan base world wide. I also assume they both have production credits, which allows them more royalties as an artist. Just goes to show that the real money in hollywood is made behind the scenes. The owners of the labels, studios, fashion lines...they are the ones that are really bringing in the dough. Some people are so gullible (at Free Mason comment), maybe he is...maybe he isn't...but the comment to your post is what got me...I believe half of what I see, and none of what I hear.
I also realize that you can't read everything posted online, however, if you do any type of research at all on Jay-Z, you will learn that the person who made the post is correct. Satanism has been linked to Jay-Z for several years. The triangle sign that he is well-known to hold up with his left eye in the triangle is the satanic symbol eye of lucifer. Also research clothing that Jay-Z wears, skulls & bones, red goat heads, etc....all satanic symbols. He has a song that states that illuniati is trying to get him, my guess, it did. He has another song when played backwards states murder murder Jesus, 666....I believe a pastor in Washington, D.C. pointed this out to his congregation to alert his young parishioners who idolize Jay-Z, to be careful. Lastly, the name Hova. We all know that God is also known as Jehovah = J-Hova. Why would a normal man, want to be called God?
I think Beyonce needs to get a better weave with all that money she just earned!! Her ego, officially got bigger!
it's how much they earn not how much they spent...it doesn't matter how much money they donate on charities - it's a tax write off anyway. I'm suprise that Brad and Angie only made 34 mil...I thought they would be in the 100 millions.
Beyonce is a greedy monkey faced diva. I heard that she hoards all that cash cause she started out poor.
i think anonymous is one of Jay-z's ex-girlfriends. I am seriously disturbed at how critical you (anonymous) people are on this site. Bitter much? -I heard that she hoards all that cash cause she started out poor. first of all, its not true. Her dad was an executive for IBM (six figures, upper middle class) and that was back in the 80s. And second, so what!!!! I would too. I can't understand why YOU have a problem with that. If she went broke after having all that money, you'd complain about that too. And Anonymous that had a problem with Beyonce's ring -how much time and money do you give to charity?????? Its not like its a couple on a reality show. Beyonce (like her or not) works her ass off, and she was paid for it. Just like you work and you get paid. She's not cancelling concerts, claiming exhaustion etc. she toured earlier this year (no cancellations) recorded an album and filmed a movie. Check her Wikipedia. Its a mile long. You (anonymous) should all take all the effort that you put toward tearing others down, and work on yourself. Start with the man in the mirror, lol -michael Jackson I don't even like B that much but the hateration was astonishing. Get a life!

Shoe Addict, you may as well be anonymous too...in fact, knowing someone's name doesn't really make a differene here. the fact that we all have opinions and are able to express them is life in the free world!
I can't believe the world is like this. People are STARVING in parts of the world, and yet two people can have 162 million dollars. That is So wrong.
i agree. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Well do you go to the movies, buy CD's, magazines ect; That's how these people make this money so instead of getting mad at them for being business smart why don't you stop buying those things and donate to charity!
Why is this wrong? You have two people who work hard for their money. Where is it written that it is MANDATORY for celebs to donate their cash? Most people donate out of the kindness of their heart. A lot of celebs donate anoymously. If they wanted to take all their money and round around in it, it's their right and their choice. They are not obligated to give it away...that would be a nice jesture but it's not mandatory.

I agree....but what can we do about it? We can't put a cap on what entertainers make, that wouldn't be American. America was built on the premis of capitalism....how can we say now, stop making money and help the poor and less fortunate? I wish there was a way.
