Jay-Z And Beyonce Named Hollywood Richest Couple

Monday Nov 24 5:55 AM CST posted by xxl staff

Jay-Z has ranked atop yet another Forbes Magazine list. After ranking second on the publication’s annual “Hip-Hop Cash Kings” list, Jiggaman and his wife Beyonce have been named Hollywood’s richest couple.

According to Forbes, the couple almost evenly pitched in to earn $162 million last year. Hov’s revenues came from his Live Nation deal and his American Gangster release. Meanwhile, Bey made $80 mill through fashion, films, publishing deals, sold out tours and endorsement deals with American Express, L’Oreal and Direct TV.

The couple easily beat out Will Smith and Jada Pinkett who came in second with $85 million. The Fresh Prince raked in $80 mill with blockbusters like The Pursuit Of Happyness,  I Am Legend and Hancock while Pinkett chipped in with $5 mill via movie roles. The list also featured David and Victoria Beckham at no. 3, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill at no. 4 and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at no. 5. -Bruce Moses

I was the driver for them 2 yrs ago after an Oscars party, They told me, “Take me to nutty blocc! I want some weed” So I make a U turn and then Beyonce yelled, “I wanna get fucced up niggaz!” Out the window of the Niccerson Gardens and then pulled out her 40 Glocc and started firing rounds @ the Bounty Hunter Bloods! I immediatly started floring it becuase I knew I had just sex’d her into the Crips 2 days prior and she was hyped to show her loyalty, also to mention I had to go to work the next day, (I’m a full time janitor @ Crenshaw High). We get to the weedspot and Jay-Z sees a mural of Tookie he then pours out liquour, I immediatly smack the shit outta him because he grabbed the wrong bottle he was accidently pouring out Pepsi! They left me big money as a tip for the night $12 and I spent it @ fat burger for dinner! ECG-UNIT CRIP 4 LIFE SPIDER LOC 4 LIFE!!

TheRefriedMexican are you not familiar with “once you get the money then you get the power, then you get the women”.

Believe it or not that is the case today and forever.

droopey I feel ya. But that dude Jay-Z is hurt as fuck. He make his own Roc-A-Wear ads look they aint even tryin to make him look like a model. He lookalike a camel. He got bread though and remains an inspiration to hip hop entrepreneurs such as myself.
