Beyonce, Jay-Z Named Highest Paid Celebrity Couple in 2012

Power couple, indeed!

It's no secret that Beyonce and Jay-Z are a famous force to be reckoned with, and according to this year's Forbes' "Highest Paid Celebrity Couples" list, the duo is smiling all the way to the bank.

Having earned a whopping $78 million combined, new parents Beyonce, 30, and Jay-Z, 42, who have been married for four years, are at the top of 2012's Hollywood money-making pyramid. Right on their tails, however, is 2011's richest couple: Tom Brady, 35, and Gisele Bundchen, 32, who brought in $72 million together.
