Beyonce and Jay-Z are top earning couple again

Guess how much can a celebrity couple earn in a year? How about a whopping $122 million? Yes, you read it right! That’s the sum Beyonce Knowles and Sean “Jay-Z” Carter have earned together during June 2008 to June 2009.

Dime Wars reports about a video published in Forbes which features the top earning couple of 2008-2009. And the report says that Beyonce and Jay-Z topped the rank and they have earned $122 million, a skyscraping amount to be earned within ayear!

This is not the first time the couple has won the top position. Last year too, during June 2007 and June 2008, they had made $162 million together. Whew…some huge cash we say!

To see their respective earning this year, Beyonce has made $87 million and the rest $35 million is for Jay-Z. Beyonce with her $87 million sits as the #6 highest paid celebrity.

Who all are following the R&B and hip-hop stars? Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are at #2 with $69 million. At third place is the famous Brangelina with $55 million. To follow them next are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith with their sum of $48 million. Next on the row is the Beckham couple to follow closely with $46 million.

We congratulate Beyonce and Jay-Z for making some real good bucks this year and also for ranking top for the second consecutive year. Hope they make a hattrick by winning the spot next year too.

But hold on…didn’t Beyonce say she needs to take a break “to recharge her batteries” in 2010?
