JAY Z and Beyoncé are one of the most hard-working celebrity power couples in the world, so it’s not really a surprise that their constant combined hustle has reinstated them as the highest-paid celebrity couple on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list. Over the last year, Jay and Bey raked in a total of $107.5 million; Beyoncé landed at No. 34 individually with $54 million in earnings, while Jay trailed just behind at No. 36 with $53.5 million. The last time the couple were handed highest-paid celebrity couple was all the way back in 2013. Last year, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris came out on top, and if they hadn’t recently broken up, they would have been at No. 1 again this year – Swift was the highest paid individual celebrity of 2016 with $170 million, and Harris generated $63 million to land at No. 21. The full list will be released tomorrow.
