Jay Z and Beyonce are without a doubt one of the most powerful couples — and now they’ve reached another impressive milestone.
According to Forbes, Beyonce’s net worth is now roughly $350 million (R4,6 billion) and her husband Jay-Z has recently soared to over $850 million (R11,2 billion). This brings their combined net worth to over $1.6 billion (R21 billion).
So… providing for twins shouldn’t be much of a problem then?
The bulk of the couple’s wealth comes from Jay-Z’s companies and in particular, his music-streaming service, Tidal.
These figures are perhaps too much for us mere mortals to comprehend — so you’ll be shocked to hear there are couples out there worth even more than Jay and Bey’s eye-watering sum.
These are the top 10 richest couples of 2016. The worst part? Some of their relationships didn’t make it to 2017.
