Beyoncé and Jay Z have been revealed as this year’s highest-paid celebrity couple, with $107.5 million in earnings between them this past year, according to Forbes’ Celebrity 100 list.
Beyoncé ranked No. 34 on Forbes’ 2016 list with $54 million, largely from playing 19 shows during Forbes’ scoring period (Jay Z played two). She also dropped her sixth number-one album, Lemonade.
Meanwhile, Jay Z’s $53.5 million landed him at No. 36. His projects in the past year include Armand de Brignac champagne, D’Ussé cognac, his own entertainment company, Roc Nation and the streaming service Tidal.
Forbes also noted that the couple and their daughter Blue Ivy moved into a home reportedly worth $45 million that has six bedrooms, a spa, an art studio, and an Olympic-sized pool.
Last year, singer Taylor Swift and deejay boyfriend Calvin Harris topped the Forbes couples list, but they have since broken up.
