According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jay Z and Beyoncé have a combined net worth in the neighborhood of $2.5 billion. Yes, that is a billion with a "B."
"Jay-Z's portion of their net worth is $1 billion and Beyonce's is $500 million.That's easily enough to make them one of the top 10 richest celebrity couples in the world. As a matter of fact, when you remove famous women who happen to be dating not-so-famous billionaires like Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Penault, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are perhaps THE richest celebrity couple in the world. They are well ahead of couples like Tom Brady/Gisele Bundchen and David/Victoria Beckham. Beyoncé sports a $5 million wedding ring by Lorraine Schwartz," the site stated.
Celebrity Net Worth also talked about their accomplishments, how they contributed to each other's overall wealth, and their pecking order in the power sphere in Hollywood.
"Jay-Z has sold more than 100 million records while his wife Beyoncé has sold about the same, not counting the 60 million she sold as a part of Destiny's Child. Beyoncé and Jay-Z were listed as the number one most powerful couple for TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2006," the site continued.
Because of the Ludacris amount of wealth that they possess, they are able to give their children, the very best of everything, even if it means paying a premium for it.
Jay-Z And Beyoncé Reportedly Spent $600,000 On Nannies For Their Two Youngest Children, Sir And Rumi
A lot of interesting details have emerged about the way that Beyoncé and Jay-Z spend their wealth, and it has been reported that the couple has allegedly spent $600,000 just in nanny services for their two youngest children.
"The stress of motherhood may be getting to Beyoncé. A source says the singer has hired an army of nannies to help care for twins Sir and Rumi, at a cost of $100,000 a pop," OK Magazine reported.
“The twins don’t sleep at the same time, so she decided she needs three per child, working in eight-hour shifts,” a source told the magazine.
US Magazine also noted the fact that these extreme fee does not even include the care that Blue Ivy, their eldest child, has received.
This is hardly the first time that there have been reports of the couple dropping an incredible sum on one of the children.
Previously, Showbiz gathered intel on just how much the couple had spent on Blue Ivy prior to her birth, and let's just say that they spared no expense.
"According to Australia’s News Network, the power couple spent over $1 million on baby items, including a Swarovski crystal-studded high chair, a solid gold rocking horse, and a mini Bugatti. Us Weekly added that the pair also purchased a NurseryWorks VETRO Lucite crib worth $3,500."
"In addition to all of that, Beyoncé reportedly traded in her Maybach for a $1 million customized mom van complete with a $150,000 audio system, a full bathroom including a shower, as well as wi-fi according to Newser," the site reported.
Given their sheer amount of wealth, we can only imagine how many more stories like this will emerge over time. To be fair, if the average person possessed this type of wealth, they'd move mountains for their children, too.
