When it comes to power couples, there’s no pair who have racked up more success than Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
According to a new study by the custom apparel company ooShirts, the musical duo have now surpassed media mogul Oprah Winfrey and her businessman boyfriend Stedman Graham in net worth.
And perhaps more shocking – the Carters have a combined net worth that is nearly double that of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
Here’s how it breaks down.
According to the ooShirts study and confirmed by Celebrity New Worth, Beyoncé has an estimated net worth of $700 million. Jay-Z meanwhile has a portfolio that puts his estimated net worth at a whopping $2.5 billion. That gives the couple a combined net worth of $3.2 billion.
According to the new study by ooShirts, Oprah Winfrey and longtime love Stedman Graham’s combined net worth weighs in at $3.11 billion, with all but $10 million of that coming from Oprah.
By comparison, Taylor Swift currently has an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion. Travis Kelce’s net worth is currently estimated at $90 million, giving the couple a combined net worth of nearly $1.6 billion.
Though Taylor’s forthcoming 12th album, “The Life of a Showgirl” is bound to add to that number.
How Beyoncé & Jay-Z Rose to the Top
The study says that Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s combined fortune, “represents the largest entertainment-based wealth accumulation by any celebrity partnership.”
But how did they get here?
Beyoncé’s recently finished “Cowboy Carter” tour raked in $407.6 million in just 32 shows. That makes it the highest grossing country-music tour in history. It’s also the shortest tour in any genre of music to gross over $400 million.
Another record-breaker, Beyoncé is now the first American artist to have two separate tours gross more than $400 million each. The “Drunk In Love” singer’s 2023 Renaissance World Tour grossed $579 million wordwide.
Meanwhile, husband Jay-Z has found skyrocketing success by diversifying. The rapper, producer, songwriter, and businessman became a billionaire in 2019 with a portfolio that includes not just his music but fine art, a cognac company and vast real estate holdings.
Jay-Z also owns equity in SpaceX, Oatly, Ethos, Uber and Sweetgreen, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Who Runs the World? Girls
Another interesting fact of the new study is something Beyoncé already told us in a song.
Who runs the world? Girls.
Of the top five most successful power couples on the study’s list, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the only ones where the larger portion of the wealth is the man’s.
“What’s remarkable is how many of these relationships show women leading wealth generation, particularly through business ventures rather than traditional entertainment roles,” said the ooShirts spokesperson.
In addition to Oprah Winfrey and Taylor Swift each bringing substantially more wealth to the table, Selena Gomez and Benny Bianco come in fourth place with a combined wealth of $1.35 billion.
Of that, $1.3 billion, or all but $50 million comes from Selena.
The same is true for the couple at the number five spot- Rihanna and Asap Rocky. The couple have a combined net worth of $1.02 billion.
Of that, $1 billion is from Rihanna, $20 million from Asap Rocky.
