Bey pulled in $54 million, good enough to claim the No. 34 spot on Forbes’ Celebrity 100 list \u2014 the annual ranking of the world\u2019s top-earning superstars. Jay Z finished just two steps behind, taking the No. 36 slot with a $53.5 million tally.<\/p>\n
Both got a boost from Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s sixth No. 1 album, Lemonade,<\/strong> which debuted exclusively on Jay Z\u2019s Tidal streaming service. But Bey edged Hov in annual earnings by playing 19 shows during our June-to-June scoring period, easily topping Jay Z\u2019s grand total of two.<\/p>\n Though Jay Z has toured over the past year nor put out music in about three, he was plenty busy behind the scenes with other projects. He continues to make millions on his Armand de Brignac champagne, D\u2019Uss\u00e9 cognac and entertainment company Roc Nation. The multifaceted organization includes a record label, artist management and a sports agency that represents the likes of Kevin Durant and Robinson Cano.<\/p>\n The FORBES Celebrity 100 list measures pretax earnings for front-of-camera celebrities across the globe. No deduction is made for fees paid to agents, managers or lawyers. The numbers are determined by gathering data from the likes of Nielsen, Pollstar and BoxOfficeMojo, as well as from interviews with industry insiders and some of the stars themselves.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jay Z and Beyonce are this year\u2019s highest-paid celebrity couple, raking in $107.5 million over the past year.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16710,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[146,598,807],"class_list":["post-16709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-beyonce","tag-jay-z","tag-matrix"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7qLKy-4lv","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ohsodj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Bey_Hov_full_ohsodj.jpg?fit=496%2C296&ssl=1","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16709"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16715,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16709\/revisions\/16715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ohsodj.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
