Billboard names Beyonce & Jay-Z Top-Earning Couple

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.
