It's been a very good 2013 for Mr. and Mrs. Carter.

Jay Z and Beyonce have topped Forbes' list of the top-earning celebrity couples for the second straight year, reports Entertainment Weekly. Between the two of them, the couple earned approximately $95 million from June 2012 to June 2013, thanks to two massive world tours, an album, and a host of other business ventures including a clothing line and a fragrance collection. However, while Jay Z and Beyonce topped the list, they weren't alone in making tens of millions over the last year.

Football star Tom Brady and his supermodel girlfriend Gisele Bundchen came in at number two with roughly $80 million, thanks to Brady's lucrative NFL contract with the New England Patriots, and the success of Bundchen's Brazilian footwear company Grendene. Meanwhile, the number three spot was filled by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who raked in $50 million over the last year. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are number four, earning a combined $35 million. Rounding out the list are Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who earned approximately $30 million.

The list culls its estimates from discussions with industry insiders, combining the estimated earnings of the individual celebrity in each couple to determine the top earners.
