Picture 5

Jay-Z and Beyonce earned $122 million together between June 2008 and June 2009, more than any other couple — married or unmarried — in entertainment.

The list makers at Forbes are at it again, this time determining Hollywood’s top-earning couple.

Beyonce and Jay-Z beat out the competition not only by churning out hit songs but also by attaching their names to Budweiser, American Express and a host of other brands. In this relationship, the wife out-earned the husband, $87 million-$35 million.

Partners Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are third with a combined $55 million, thanks to “Wanted,” starring Jolie, and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” starring Pitt.

Rounding out the top five are married couples Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith ($48 million) and David and Victoria Beckham ($46 million).

    I don’t think Brad and Angelina perform more than Jay-Z and Beyonce so I would expect them not to earn as top earning couple. From what I read they only did movies which is not enough to beat out Jay-Z and Beyonce with all of what they had accomlished for the year.
