The news emerged in light of reports that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are pop’s first ever billionaire couple. According to the Daily Star, the music duo’s combined earnings equate to $1billion (£650million) making them the first ever pop star couple to amass such a fortune.

While incredibly successful in their own rights it is actually Beyoncé who has put more into the Carter household pot. Her most recent projects have contributed considerably to the couple’s assets with a lucrative deal fronting H&M’s swimwear collection, where it needs to be stressed that she looks sensational!
