: We all knew that Jay Z and Beyonce were successful - but together, they may be unstoppable. MediaTakeOut.com did a bit of calculating and has determined that the combined net worth of hip hop's hottest couple could approach $1 billion.

Recent reports pegged Jay Z's net worth somewhere in the $500M range. And similar reports put Beyonce's in the neighborhood of $350M. And now with the $150M Live Nation that Jay Z is set to close in coming days - the couple could be worth $1 billion.

Now that's a power couple...

I was thinking that too - Actually I believe Jay is capable of pulling in 1 bill on his own...Bey too for that matter...

IT'S OFFICIAL I'M HATING... EVEN IF IT ISN'T TRUE.

So whats that supposed to mean? They aren't the only people with money.

Oh lawd....regrets the day MTO starts to 'calcalate'!!!


truebahamian

If you don't know how to count Fred, don't be posting figures please. This is pure ***!t.

How can someone getting a 10 year, 150m deal be a billionaire? Isn't that the equivalent of $15 million a year? Or am I the slow one? LOL And beyonce made what $60 mill last year, and those contracts she's in, has her bound for another year or so.

FInd some real news to report please.


truebahamian

HI HAUTECOUTUREDIVA! What's up girl?


focus

So what? If Oprah hadn't been so benevolent her name would just be attached to her talk show. If Jay Z and Beyonce keep on doing concerts without giving back or starting any foundations, they will just be known as some couple in the music industry. Like Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupree. What's so special about them other than music?

Beyonce is young and pretty now but Jay Z seems like the type to want "young" to be forever. I'll give this marriage a few years and they'll secretly divorce as they secretly dated & married.


Leanie

Praise the Lord! God bless 'em, love 'em both!


Myna

I'm just wondering how her management with her dad is going to play out now. I heard her dad HATE this union. Will Jayz have any say in her career. You NEVER see these two together. Anyway, money is everything and it certainly doesn't make a union solid. Ask Micheal Jordan, Russell Simmons, and any other divorced baller.


we-r-one

we should just be happy for them.its seems as if we are alsways happy when its some other power couple. make that money be happy and love one another.


ladytee35

And how much of that are they going to donate to charity and help their people? These young black rich brothas and sistas need to start putting their money to good causes and not designers and other foolishness.


Bruklyn

That's a shame - lmao.

If this were a negative post, there would be 500 comments. Being that haters can't hate on them getting money, they have nothing to say.

CONGRATS TO THE KING AND QUEEN!!!$$$$$$$$$$$

um i think u are slow maybe..lol guess u forgot about rocawear and the 200+ million jayz made from it when it was sold..

@truebahemian

Did u just come in here to mess with B stans too. Get the *** outta here and learn to read *** hater. It doesnt say they have 1 billion but they are worth 1 billion.


wycked_hole

i wonder if there is a prenup lerking in the background of all the groove


Reallynice2know

Ummmm.... IDK about a Billion, the contracts are over time, and at any given moment a contract can be altered- so I don't know about all that, but either way... who cares?? They're well into the hundred millions no doubt and i'm sure they have more money at thier fingertips than probably all of us put together- so why be concerned with thier bank accounts?

NEXT.

UH- I DON'T KNOW BOUT JAY- BUT BEYONCE KNOWLES IS NOT WORTH NO *** 350 MILLION DOLLARS! NOT EVEN CLOSE! HELLOOOO- JANET JACKSON IS NUMBER 7 ON THE FORBES LIST OF RICHEST WOMEN IN ENTERTAINMENT WITH A NET WORTH OF 150 MILLION, AND BEYONCE IS NO WHERE EVEN IN THE TOP 10!(LOOK IT UP PEOPLE). AND EVEN WITHOUT THE LIST, STRAIGHT COMMON SENSE WILL TELL U THAT SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT RICHER THAN JANET-LOL. MTO, WHAT DO YALL GET OUTTA REPORTING STRAIGHT FALSEHOODS? YEAH, WE KNOW THEY RICH, AND R DEFINITELY NOT HURTING FOR CASH, BUT STOP TRYIN TO BIG UP BEYONCE ONCE AGAIN ON FALSE PRETENSES PLEASE.. IT'S GETTING RATHER ANNOYING- AND JUST A WEE BIT BIZARRE. GET OFF THAT LADY'S POON TANG! ***


MsFantasy

***! Their both hard workers. Congrats!!!



mayfield1970

To the people with no kind of commonsense. What you are worth is not the same as how much money you made. Worth is the value of the person or property currently and for the future.

example. If Gates only made $2billion this year, it doesnt mean he his worth $2billion. Biggg difference.

Please people, reading is a beautiful thing.

Also, Beyone in terms of worth. You have to include all of the Destiny's Child revenue Beyonce generated with the group AND products related to the group, don't forget the clothing line she is doin with mom's Deron(???) and don't forget the concerts she has sold out as being solo and group. Jay-Z owns too much *** to really calculate. Also don't forget, he probably has stock that is still on the rise. Calculate all of that together and they should be around the worth of a billion. Both are still miles away from the Oprahs whose miles away from Gates


Myna

@C

Where you at! I wanna know what you think! Holla!

I don't car about their money, but I do LOVE them as a couple. Just wanted them get this done and move on.

In that picture, Jayz look like he big pimpin though. I ain't mad at him though, but take away his money, Bey deserved better. I think she really loves him. Matthew just fatten the frog for the snake. I bet Matt is somewhere drunk. I heard when she moved in with him he went ballistic.

To much is given....much is required.....I am happy for any well-meaning person that does not have to struggle....stop being so *** negative people!!!


mk1216

that must be real nice. me and my husbands salary combined is only $60,000.


SoSerious4life

Why are others praising them so much? Just asking?

Hope yall have it like that. At least have a million. Stop doing so much praising, and start asking how I can get like them, or even better.

GOSH!

I'm not about too get excited about someones else money. I'm tryna get there, and better. Real Talk!


JaneseZion

UR NET WORTH IS BASICALLY THIS: TAKE ALL THE MONEY U EVER HAD OR HAVE, ADD UP ALL UR STUFF(HOUSES, CARS, ETC.), THEN TAKE AWAY ALL UR DEBT- THERE'S UR NET WORTH. BEYONCE DOESN'T OWN ENOUGH STUFF TO BE WORTH ALMOST HALF A BILLION (NOT YET), AND HER CLOTING LINE IS NOT NOW OR EVER WAS DOING THAT GREAT, AND HER ENDORSEMENTS WITH LOREAL AND ALL THAT R MONEY SHE'LL GET OVER TIME, SO I'M JUS SAYIN THE NUMBERS R A BIT EXXAGERATED. HOWEVER, SHE DEF. DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF GARNISHING THAT MUCH NET WORTH, BUT SHE NEEDS TO OWN *** LIKE HER HUSBAND


Tagirl25

Bee's a woman with her own chips. Jay-Z made impressive business moves and paved his own way. That's great. I wish them the best. I pray that they take the "Divorce is not an option," stance. A stance, that many people I know have taken and many that I know of have taken. Be in it to win it.


scorpio18d

thats amazing and you can do nothign but commend these two who came who meager beginnings and have ammassed the fortune that they have


TheShopMagazine

Hmmmmm, a Bill huh? Looks like we got some work 2 put in cause we wanna get there too!


C_The_Goodfella

LOL @Myna

I dont find nothing wrong with this, I dont see whats really the problem, Jay is getting older, Bey seems like thats happy with him. People feel that they are fake as a couple and say this and that but I cant remember her being with somebody on like Usher status who the media really embraced and/or found to be a looker and the same goes for Jay. Foxy, Carmen Bryan, etc were nowhere near Beyonce status with all the success, endorsements, accomplishments etc. And even with the Rihanna rumors, no matter how many blogs and bloggers gas her up and say how played out Beyonce is, Rihanna is just that, the blogs "It Girl" with nice little catchy songs here and there, but other than that.....!!! Bey & Jay must be attracted to each other somehow, someway!


macalac

I could care less about their feelings. I always listen to see what the hell they have done up until this point to be such successful business mogules in a world/industry dominated by white men. The business aspect is interesting, but the media focuses on stupidiy and half-truths.



BlaqPrincess

As unreal as that number sounds, MTO is actually right about that one. Beyonce's net worth as of today is around $350 million, And Jay-Z's is $547 Million. If you add that up, Thats just a couple million shy of a Billion dollars. But lets keep it funky. You really think they don't have a prenup in place?


Myna

LOL@C

I knew you were paying attention. Good Luck B & J.

How you think the Matt/Jayz collab gonna work out? You know it's going to come up.


Stpdamadnes

Well said LADYTEE35. That much money could help out a lot of people...


STAYPOPPIN01

Jay Z is lighting his cigars with hundred dollar bills!

I'm sharpening my hustle skills and business savvy too Jay! SEE YOU OVER THE TOP!


Myna

He may be lighting his cigars with $100.00 bills, but he should invent and patent UNBOTOX with some of the money. (Jayz if you do this, remember it was orginally my idea).

okay this story depresses me because i know i will probably be paying the loan companoies back that much after i finish school. *** i wish i was rich and then i wouldnt even think about college. Either way it goes I am never goinging to make that much money. These days the only zero's i see are on my test. so yeah good for them!


honestly

Good for them

huge buildins..........big billins.. introducing.......Jay & B Billions!!

>>> Watch DivaTV in the Bay Area & online!


C_The_Goodfella

LOL @Myna

I dont think he and Matty would do business together becuz, for one Jay was suppose to do a deal with Sony and Rick Ruben the minute he left Def Jam. But I doubt they would do anything together especially when it comes to Bey's career.


ditadita

Now that's the business... I wish more black couples could get together and get right! Build empires together, create legacy's for their children and such instead of all the ***.

A business transaction all along.


UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

Jay Z is a business man all the way. He knew what he was doing all the way. He got him a famous popstar chick as a wife. The entertainment world is not that interested because it is not the talk of the town or the biggest news story around but keep it going MTO it beats the Kashardaho stories.


UKNOWUAINTRIGHT

Its PR companies jobs to blow things up and out of proportion you can only believe about 25% of what they claim but the two are paid, but it takes white people a little time to catch on to whats hot and whats not so they have some years to go. LOL Why do you guys keep calling her Bey or B like you guys know her personally. LMAO


talkurshyt

to janesezion please don't talk bad about beyonce if you actually dont know sh!t about her worth ok? Beyoncé got money with Destiny's child, her solo career, her endorsements with loreal, pepsi, samsung, american express, armani diamond, tommy hilfiger, direct tv, samantha tavassa... and of course, house of dereon and dereon if you dont know, dereon is just under baby phat and it only came 3 years ago. She is the most high paid black actress with 15million for dreamgirls Beyonce of course doesnt have 350 million but 100 million and more, your old *** janet is in the industry since the 80s and I give Beyoncé less than 5 years to be in the top ten while your janet doesnt make money anymore sorry but its the truth (Have nothing against her or you). She is already the richest star among the under 30. Concerning Jay, he got 547 million yeah elf made man! congrats again, best celebrity couple money and power!

YES U ARE SLOW.....HE ALREADY HAD 500 to 600 million IN THE BANK! THAT 150 MILLION IS JUST EXTRA BOO...STOP HATING! JAY HAS THAT PAPER!

"Billionare Hov, U on the pace 2 make it"

I luv them as individuals,and 2gether as a power couple... They both worked very hard 2 get 2 this point, so don't hate,just be happy for them :)


EBZ01

Nahhhhh MTO stop lying.....anything i've read or seen he's worth about 400-450 million and she's worth somewhere around 150 million....that's a bit over half a billion but not close to 1 billion.....you just pull stuff out your ***.


Monie911

wow, yeah it was intersting how she married him after he got that 150 million dollar deal....mmmm, but i know they must have a prenup, and i wonder how daddy knowles feels, i know beyonce is the bread winner of thatr family, but hey , thats how family is suppose to do


Monie911

smitty773

Good for them.....but what they givin back? i heard of somethings Jay has done, but I aint heard about Beyonce doing no type of charitable work or giving back. I think that *** she is too good. She aint as nice as she plays to be. From what I hear BEy can be a B, if you know what I mean.


RebuttalREJECTED

@ Noire...

sweety... you're here, ONCE AGAIN, on a post counting someone else's money & writing essays no less...

:-D go figure

*******************************************************

@ smitty.. unsure on Jay's contributions (like his music but wouldn't consider myself a fan) but he does donate & perform for charity.

But Beyonce :-D dat's my bish righ dere...

her contributions:

* 46664 * Clothes Off Our Back * Food Bank For New York City * Love Our Children USA * Oxfam * Second Harvest * Survivor Foundation * The Lunchbox Fund * Women's Fund for Scotland * United Negro College Fund * Save The Music Foundation

CAUSES:

AIDS, Animals, At-Risk/Disadvantaged Youths, Children, Disaster Relief, Family/Parent Support, Health, Human Rights, Hunger, Poverty, Schools, Women

AND.. you know that Armani Diamonds commercial posted on every blog a few months ago? Well, that's for AIDS research & support in Africa. The three celebs working for this cause are Armani, Beyonce & Bono of U2 (the give concerts to raise money). She's did work with Nelson Mandela & the Nelson Mandela Foundation for Aids Prevention. She Kelly & Michelle were Global Ambassadors for World Children's Day (remember the song Stand Up 4 Love?) And of course you know about the Knowles-Rowland Foundation?

Remember that trip to Africa? Sure you do... MTO posted pics claiming Beyonce was trying to "fit in" by raising her ***? But what they didn't mention was the charity work she did while there. That's why she met with the president & were seen with sick children. But most people don't want to hear about this $h1t so they just post nonsense, like... Beyonce get's off plane. Beyonce @ airport. Beyonce hides from photogs. Beyonce gives the finger, etc.

I know these things because it's been researched, confirmed & posted on my blog (((Dispelling the Lies About Black Celebrities)))
