BEYONCÉ Knowles and Jay-Z are the top earning couple in Hollywood.
The singer and her hip-hop mogul husband have topped a poll of Hollywood's highest earning couples compiled by Forbes.com, with combined earnings of $122million (about R900million) between June 2008 and June 2009.
The couple amassed the sum through their music, movies, fragrances and endorsement deals.
Their earnings were almost double that of runners-up Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, whose $69million (about R513million) would have mostly come courtesy of Harrison's $65million pay cheque for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
That amount still put them $14million above third-placed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are at number four, with Victoria and David Beckham at number 5.
Forbes used interviews with agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine how much the couples earned. - Bang
