The Highest Earning Couples in showbiz

Beyonce Knowles and her rapper husband Jay-Z have been named the 'Top Earning Couple' by Forbes magazine.

 

The star couple topped the list with a combined earning of $ 122 million.

 

The list includes actors, musicians and professional athletes.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart

Harrison Ford and his girlfriend, Calista Flockhart, landed second place with combined earning of $ 69 million, reports the Daily Telegraph. And it looks like the earnings are going to increase if Ford bags the fifth installment of Indiana Jones.

 

Ford, 67, who was pitted against Soviet agents in the fourth Indy film, wants to take the relationship between his new wife, played by Karen Allen, and his son, played by Shia LaBeouf, forward.

 

'I'd love to see a development of the relationship between Indy, his son and new wife,' the Daily Star quoted him as saying. 'Producer George Lucas is working on an idea and if he can come up with something, Steven Spielberg and I have to agree to go ahead with it,' he added.

 

As for Calista, she's staying put at Brothers and Sisters.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came third by earning a total of $ 55 million, split evenly between the two.

And what do they do with their earnings? Besides supporting their growing brood, the couple believes in charity. They have formed the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

The couple recently donated a million dollars to the emergency medical operation in earthquake-hit Haiti.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett

Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith took the fourth spot with a combined earning of $ 48 million.

David and Victoria Beckham

Footballer David and his wife Victoria Beckham wrapped up the top five with an earning of $ 46 million.

 

And it's a good thing that the Beckhams are loaded because Victoria has admitted that she is addicted to shopping after splurging 1 million pounds on just one trip to a street in Milan, Italy.

 

The former Spice girl shopped at the most expensive shopping street, the Via Montenapoleone, in the town.

 

'I did spend too much. Shopping is like a drug. The more you have, the more you want,' the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
