According to an upcoming list from Forbes, Jay Z and Beyonce are one of a handful of couples who brought in well over $50 million in the past year.
Although the superstar couple was beaten out by Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris for the #1 spot on Forbes’ “World’s Highest-Paid Celebrity Couples 2015” list, they still managed to bring in $110.5 million. Their combined annual income earned Jay Z and Beyonce the #2 spot on Forbes’ list.
Despite this year’s ranking, Jay and Bey were able to obtain the #1 spot in 2013.
“They may no longer top the list of highest earning couples, but these media favorites have no trouble bringing in the millions. The pair, who recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary, collaborated this year for their co-headlined On the Run tour, which was the fifth highest grossing excursion of 2014, despite only playing 22 shows in our scoring period,” Forbes wrote.
