Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles are so much more than just the first couple of hip-hop: They’re a combination of two of the savviest businesspeople in entertainment.

They made more than any other celebrity couple this year with an estimated $95 million in earnings between June 2012 and June 2013.

Both are musicians at the top of their games, with multiple hits under their belts. Jay-Z’s recent 'Watch the Throne' album went platinum and launched a world tour that brought in $1.4 million per night in America.

Knowles, who took a short break when her daughter Blue Ivy was born in January last year, was back with a vengeance this year with her 'Mrs. Carter' world tour, which grossed an average $2 million per night.

Then there are their other interests. Jay-Z is a part owner of the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the Brooklyn Nets play. He sold his stake in the team and now has to dump his share in the arena, too, because he’s started his own sports agency: Roc Nation Sports, which represents star athletes like Kevin Durant and Victor Cruz.

Knowles has a fragrance collection and a clothing line called House of Deron.

Blue Ivy could soon join the family business. She’s already been on one of her Dad’s songs and her parents have petitioned to trademark her name for the right to use it on anything from baby clothes to toys.

Total Earnings: $95 Million

I can't say i'm surprised. They've had a lot of success and he's lucky to have her because a lot of black men want her including myself LOL. It's funny to me to hear black men call Jay-Z ugly when i've seen worst looking rappers than him. I don't think he's ugly. He has big lips but most black men have big lips. I think a lot of black men are jealous that he's with her.
