Beyoncé and Jay Z are crazy in wealth as they top Forbes rich list earning $95 million

If you went into business with your other half, you might count yourself lucky to get through the working day without throwing a stapler across the office at them.

But Beyoncé and Jay Z can count themselves lucky that they have discovered the perfect working dynamic - and count the NINETY FIVE MILLION dollar bills they earnt in the last year.

Figures released by Forbes put the power couple at the top of the shared earnings list, measuring their incomes in between June 2012 and June 2013.

During these twelve months, Beyoncé hit the road with the Mrs. Carter world tour, which grossed an average $2 million per night, and Jay Z's Watch The Throne tour amassed an equally impressive $1.4 million per night.

Hmm, surely that should say 'thank society'... for buying your records!

The rapper and his RnB babe have a reputation as some of the shrewdest business people in the music industry with plenty of other interests.

Jay once had investments in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the home turf of basketball team the Brooklyn Nets.

However, as he moves his attention in to sports management with Roc Nation Sports, he has had to sell those shares due to a clash of interests.

Happy dance!

Meanwhile, Beyoncé knows her image is her most valuable asset, and has a range of perfume and a clothing brand with her mum, House of Dereon.

The couple are predicting that their daughter, Blue Ivy, 2, might also want to join the family business, and have trademarked her name to use on items ranging from clothes to baby toys.

Second in the Forbes list was Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her husband, American football player Tom Brady.

Third was Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, whose film fees helped them amass $50 million in estimated earnings.
