Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady have been named the world's highest-earning couple.
The supermodel and her NFL player husband earned a staggering $76 million (NZ$90.9 million) between them during the period May 2010-2011, with the Brazilian beauty's fashion career, endorsements and business deals bringing in a $45 million share of their joint income.
According to Forbes magazine, Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z earned just $4 million less in the same period, with the Run the World (Girls) hitmaker bringing in $35 million from her record sales and endorsement deals and her spouse generating $37 million through his contract with Live Nation, a stake in the New Jersey Nets, his 40/40 Club chain and ad firm Translation.
Placed third were Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who earned $50 million after the actor brought in $20 million and his partner - with who he raises six children - earning the additional $30 million.
David and Victoria Beckham were placed fourth in the list with combined earnings of $45 million - though $40 million of the total was earned by the soccer star.
