That’s easily enough to make them one of the top 10 richest celebrity couples in the world. As a matter of fact, when you remove famous women who happen to be dating not-so-famous billionaires like Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Penault, Jay-Z and Beyonce are perhaps THE richest celebrity couple in the world. They are well ahead of couples like Tom Brady/Gisele Bundchen and David/Victoria Beckham. Beyonce sports a $5 million wedding ring by Lorraine Schwartz. Jay-Z has sold more than 100 million records while his wife Beyonce has sold about the same, not counting the 60 million she sold as a part of Destiny’s Child. Beyonce and Jay Z were listed as the number one most powerful couple for TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2006. Dating and Marriage: The famous couple is notoriously tight-lipped about their romance. The timeline is unclear to the public, but Beyonce and Jay-Z met sometime around the year 2000. In 2002, they collaborated on a track, “03 Bonnie & Clyde” for Jay-Z’s seventh album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse Beyond. Beyonce appeared as his girlfriend in the music video, which confirmed public speculation that they were dating. Jay Z and Beyonce also collaborated on Beyonce’s hit singles Crazy in Love and That’s How You Like It. They were married quietly on April 4, 2008. There was no press and the wedding was very low-key. Beyonce debuted her $5 million Lorraine-Schwartz wedding ring to the public in September 2008, officially confirming their wedded bliss. Despite keeping their relationship mostly under wraps, they have acknowledged difficulty in their marriage due to an affair Jay Z publicly admitted to in 2016 following the release of Beyonce’s “Lemonade.” Family: Beyonce has discussed suffering a miscarriage in 2010, and has described it as the “saddest thing” she has ever gone through.

Jay’s stake in Tidal could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars on paper to the right buyer. Beyonce’s clothing line could also be worth hundreds of millions.   Beyonce and Jay-Z Net Worth from Real Estate: Beyonce and Jay-Z own an extremely valuable portfolio of real estate assets around the world.

Together they own a $4 million private island in the Bahamas.
