Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been named the first couple in music
ever to become billionaires.
According to the International Business Times, the pair
reached the dizzying financial status this year.
It is thought that, although both have enjoyed incredible career
success, Beyoncé's recent earnings through sales from her Mrs
Carter World Tour, Pepsi and H&M collaborations pushed
their collective earnings over the milestone mark.
The singer is rumoured to have made approximately $116million from The Mrs Carter Show, her $50million endorsement deal with
Pepsi, and her H&M salary
is also thought to be in the millions.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z estimated worth is $475million as published by Forbes few weeks ago. The pop icon has enjoyed considerable earnings as the
co-founder of Roc Nation, co-owner of the 40/40 nightclub and
co-creator of fashion label Rocawear. He also has shares in the
Brooklyn Nets basketball team. Jay-Z has sold over 50million albums
worldwide. He recently completed work as the executive producer of
The Great Gatsby soundtrack.
