2013 is definitely a great year to be the Carters. Hip hop's first couple has snagged the number one spot on Forbes's top earning celebrity couples list with an estimated $95 million dollars in earnings. Still in the middle of her world tour, Beyoncé’s Mrs. Carter Show brings in about $2 million per night. Aside from music, Beyoncé’s other business ventures include her House of Dereon Clothing line and a fragrance collection.

Hubby holds up his end of the stick as well with a platinum album and tour. The Watch the Throne tour raked in an estimated $1.4 million per night. Jay Z also started Roc Nation Sports this year with elite clients like Victor Cruz and Kevin Durant. 

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and model wife Gisele Bundchen took the number two spot on the list with $80 million dollars. Brady took in $30 million from his contract extension signing while Bundchen, the world’s highest paid model, took in about $42 million from deals and endorsements.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie moved up a spot this year, pulling in $50 million. Pitt’s latest movie, World War Z, is still going strong in theaters and has grossed $537 million worldwide. Even though Jolie took a break earlier this year for her double mastectomy, she received top dollar upfront for Disney’s upcoming “Maleficent”.

Clinching the number four spot is Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. The former “That '70s Show” co-stars made $35 million. Kunis had some box office success this year coupled with her TV roles. Kutcher, who stars in “Two and a Half Men," is the highest paid actor on television. 

Rounding out the list is Kimye. The duo earned a combined estimated $30 million with Kim Kardashian pulling in about $10 million.  Her earnings stem from her various business ventures including reality TV, beauty products, and a clothing line. Kanye’s joint Watch the Throne album and tour with Jay Z brought in millions as well.
