Forbes: Highest-paid celebrity couples 2011

Forbes ranks the top five highest-paid celebrity couples from May 2010-May 2011.

Forbes is out with yet another celebrity ranking that'll make you feel depressed about your regular Joe bank account. This time, they've released a list of the highest-paid celebrity couples from May 2010 to May 2011. The couple at the top of the list aren't A-list Hollywood actors but instead fashion model Gisele Bundchen and NFL superstar Tom Brady who earned a cool $76 million. No wonder they look so good.

The only thing surprising about Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z making the list is that they came in at No. 2. With all of the mega success this music power couple has had, you'd figure they'd reign supreme, but the lovebirds brought home $72 milliion, $6 million short of the No. 1 spot. But they don't seem bothered. They're still smiling all the way to the bank.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hold the No. 3 spot on the list with a combined income of $50 million. Sounds like a lot of money, but then again they do have to keep those six kids looking stylish for the paps.

David and Victoria Beckham brought in $45 million over the last year, putting them at No. 4 on Forbes' list, though David is doing all the heavy lifting, earning $40 million on his own. Posh earns the other $5 million on sales of her line of wool dresses and high-end purses.

"Twilight" stars and off-screen lovers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are by far the youngest couple to make the list. Pattinson, 25, and Stewart, 21, each earned $20 million, thanks to the undying devotion of Twihards around the world. But even with a combined $40 million in the bank, these two just can't muster a smile.
