  • Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles – $1.08 billion

If any kind of list of musical couples is Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles tops the list. With an estimated net worth in excess of a billion dollars, they are the true power couple in the industry. Because Beyoncé and Jay prefer to keep their relationship private and stay away from the media, the original timing of their dating is murky. Some sources claim they met in 2002 while recording the song “03 Bonnie & Clyde,” while others claim they met at least three years prior. They made their first public appearance at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards. After six years of dating (if you believe the former source), the couple wed on April 4, 2008 in a small private ceremony. They have battled breakup rumors throughout their relationship, with the most recent episode being Beyoncé’s sister Solange’s shocking and surprising attack on Jay in an elevator. However, they have emerged from every rumor unscathed and stronger than ever, including the last one.

  • Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana – $1.15 billion

Janet Jackson married billionaire Wissam Al Mana in 2012 in a $20 million wedding ceremony or in a simple, private and beautiful wedding ceremony. Confused? I’ll clear it up for you. If you want to believe rumors in multiple publications, then the former is true. And if you want to believe the bride herself, you can opt for the later version. And for those who are wondering who Wissam is, I would like to add an excerpt of information. Wissam is a Qatari businessman owned and co-managed by Al Manaconglomerate with his brothers. The conglomerate operates over 55 companies in 8 countries and has a strong presence in several industries. Coupled with Janet’s projected net worth of $150 million and Wissam’s $1 billion, the couple is in the top half of the richest couples list.
