The couple made a staggering $95 million together in the financial year June 2012 to June 2013 — after the calculations of their businesses, album sales, endorsement deals and tours.
Jay Z’s collaboration with Kanye West this year on Watch the Throne, earned him a platinum-selling album and a world tour that earned $1.4 million a night! Not too shabby!
