When Beyonce and Jay-Z married in 2008, it was as much a business merger as a love match -- and it's finally paid off. The duo is No. 1 on Forbes' list of The World’s Highest-Paid Celebrity Couples, after coming in second place last year.

Even though Beyonce took some time off after baby Blue was born, she earned $40 million between May 1, 2011 and May 1, 2012, according to Forbes. If we made that much, we'd take some time off, too! As for Jay-Z, he took in $38 million -- not too shabby.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and and her NFL boyfriend Tom Brady come in second place on the list, with Gisele bringing home $45 million and Brady earning $27 million. David and Victoria Beckham take the bronze, with Beckham making $46 million as world's highest-paid soccer player and Victoria earning $8 million from her fashion line and other pursuits. And the list of wealthy celeb couples go on and on... It must be nice to be rich, famous and beautiful! So, tell us: Who's your favorite money-making duo?

    Talent notwithstanding, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are known primarily for their stunning looks, and they seem to be more evenly matched than the other 4 couples in the line up, in my opinion.

    I think Will has a lot of class and I generally don't hear much about them. I don't like Jay-Z's music and while I like Beyonce, I think she is overrated.

    They are hands on, the ones who dig deep into their deep pockets to help others.

    exactly how is beyonce a made up name? her parents gave it to her..
    jay-z--->
    In his neighborhood, Carter was known as "Jazzy", a nickname that eventually developed into his showbiz/stage name, "Jay-Z". The moniker is also an homage to his musical mentor, Jaz-O, as well as to the J/Z subway lines that have a stop at Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn.

    please tell me you never had a nickname,,,,,,

    Beyonce's first name actually derives from her mother's maiden name, Beyince.

    When was the last time you heard something negative about these two? They are certainly headed in the right direction.

    Jay Z is a very powerful man, and has been since the 90's he's a smart business man and an excellent rapper, he knows who to work with and Beyonce made a good choice of marrying him
