Jay Z and Beyoncé have topped Forbes magazine’s World’s Highest Paid Celebrity Couples list in 2013.

Beyoncé and Jay Z – who also owns record label Roc Nation – took the crown for the second year running having earned a staggering $95 million together in the financial year June 2012 to June 2013.

The figures in the list show that the couple’s tours, businesses and endorsement deals saw them rack up $17 million more than last year.

Jay Z’s collaborative effort with Kanye West, Watch The Throne, spurned a platinum selling album and a world tour which earned $1.4 million a night.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé – who took a year hiatus after giving birth to Blue Ivy in January 2012 – earned $2 million a night for her current The Mrs. Carter Show world tour.

Beyoncé and Jay Z earned $15 million more than Gisele Bundchen and her footballer husband Tom Brady who came in second place with combined earnings of $80 million.

Supermodel Gisele  Bundchen out-earned her partner by $4 million as her line of flip-flops with Brazilian label Grendene – in which she owns shares – helped double her wages from last year.

Meanwhile Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt earned a hefty $50 million despite the fact they do not own any large businesses.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt pulled in the majority of their income from film fees while Brad earned a reported $7 million for his Chanel no.5 advert last year.

Ashton Kutcher and girlfriend Mila Kunis came in fourth place, while the fifth spot was taken by Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

While Kanye West had earned his half mainly through his Watch The Throne tour, Kim Kardashian earns an estimated $10 million a year through filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians and her various spin-off ventures.

Noticeably absent from the list was Victoria and David Beckham.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie landed in Haneda International Airport in Tokyo on Sunday with their children, Pax and twins Knox and Vivienne.

With Angelina Jolie, 38, stopping to sign a few autographs for the cheering crowd, it’s no wonder an airport’s arrivals lounge is considered one of the happiest places to be.

Wearing all black with large sunglasses, Angelina Jolie looked stylish but also glowed with good health as her thick brunette hair shined over her shoulders.

Brad Pitt was equally gleeful, but opted for muted earth tones of khaki, grey and beige for his travelling attire.

Intrigued by the ecstatic welcome to Tokyo from the Japanese fans of his starry parents, Knox grinned at the crowd as he held his father’s hand while walking through the airport.

Angelina Jolie may well have been the pilot on their flight following the reports that Brad splashed out on a private jet for his love.

According to Heat magazine, Brad Pitt, 49, bought the aircraft for his fiancée, who has held a pilot’s license since 2004, so that the couple could see each other more often, while they film movies on opposite sides of the world.

Brad Pitt is in London shooting World War II drama Fury, as Angelina Jolie directs her own war flick called Unbroken in Hawaii.

However, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took a break from filming to fly with three of their children to the East to hit another destination on the World War Z promotional trail.

Despite production delays and massive production costs, the zombie movie exceeded expectations buy topping the global box office upon it’s opening at the start of July.

In the first 10 days, World War Z secured $263 million worldwide, before it had even opened in France, Germany and Japan.

Speculation Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had finally wed comes after a magazine report in early December claimed the pair had picked up their wedding rings from celebrity jeweller Neil Lane.

InTouch magazine wrote: “On November 27, a stylist for the actress picked up wedding rings from Neil Lane jewelers for the couple.”

In November, Brad Pitt told reporters on the red carpet of the New York premiere of his film Killing Me Softly the nuptials would be “soon”.

He said: “The time is nigh. It’s soon. I got a good feeling about it.

“I am getting more pressure from my kids, and it is something I want to do within their lifetime, but I also feel like the time has come.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt famously met on the set of Mr. And Mrs. Smith in 2004, when Brad was still married to first wife Jennifer Aniston.

However, by January 2005, Hollywood’s golden couple had separated with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s romance finally being confirmed in April that year when they were photographed on a beach in Kenya with their now jointly-adopted son Maddox.

They also adopted son Pax from Vietnam in March 2007, and Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in France in July 2008.

If the couple have indeed wed, it will be the second marriage for Brad Pitt and third for Angelina Jolie.

Brad Pitt wed Jennifer aniston in a lavish ceremony at a private house in Malibu in July 2000 after a two year courtship.

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie wed English actor Jonny Lee Miller in March 1996 with the groom’s name written in blood on the white T-shirt she was wearing.

The Treasury in Ickham is a sumptuous barn conversion and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt would have paid $5,000 a month to rent the pad while he filmed scenes for World War Z

The Treasury in Ickham is a sumptuous barn conversion and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt would have paid $5,000 a month to rent the pad while he filmed scenes for World War Z

When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie descended on Ickham, Kent, UK, and rented a luxury village cottage, complete with grand piano and shag carpets, even the landlords didn’t believe it was actually them.

Angelina Jolie, 37, even took their six-strong brood to the village shop to buy sweets and magazines, while Brad Pitt, 48, was rumored to have popped next door for a pint in the local pub.

Brad Pitt had returned to Kent as he was re-shooting scenes from upcoming blockbuster zombie movie World War Z.

The family is famously for travelling together when either parent is working on location and are known to only choose the best accommodation.

Staying in the Treasury in Ickham, a sumptuous barn conversion featuring “breath-taking huge rooms, floor to ceiling windows and beamed vaulted ceilings throughout”.

On the rental firm Mulberry Cottage website it says the property is: “A stunning barn conversion located within the most idyllic Kent village yet within easy distance of the historic City of Canterbury and a short distance from the coast. Recently awarded the acclaimed four star gold award for excellence.

“Stylishly furnished with wonderfully spacious open plan rooms, this luxury barn is quite literally breath-taking with huge rooms, floor to ceiling windows and beamed vaulted ceilings throughout.”

The website adds: “There is a den area at the top of the house and is ideally suited to teenagers with comfortable bean bags, flatscreen 3D TV and DVD blueray player thoughtfully provided by the owner.”

This may have been handy for Angelina Jolie, if she wanted to take a load off and just send her six children Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne upstairs to watch CBeebies.

The kitchen is also wonderfully luxurious, boasting: “The state of the art kitchen has been equipped with every conceivable appliance including five ring range style cooker, American fridge freezer, dishwasher and microwave oven.

“The kitchen has floor to ceiling windows that flood the room with sunlight and has been beautifully finished with cream granite work surfaces and teak colored units.”

A spokeswoman at Canterbury-based rental firm Mulberry Cottages told local website Kent News that: “We have only just found out they were staying with us. It was booked through a production company.”

Reports even suggested Brad Pitt popped along to nearby The Duke William pub, but owner Kate Coleman refused to divulge what the superstar ordered.

A source told E! News the dad of six “would also go drinking after work at The Duke William pub in Ickham”.

Angelina Jolie is also said to have taken their children Knox, to nearby Howletts Zoo in Bekesbourne.

E! Online reported: “The kids all took their fishing rods and bikes and spent a lot of time playing outside while Brad was shooting reshoots for World War Z.”

Actress Angelina Jolie has reportedly been left furious after her boyfriend Brad Pitt’s mother Jane insisted on buying girly clothes for her notoriously tomboyish granddaughter Shiloh.

Despite Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and her five siblings being allowed to choose their own clothes by their famous parents, Jane Pitt is said to have purchased a series of feminine outfits for the six-year-old.

According to the Evening Standard, Angelina Jolie found Jane Pitt’s move “disrespectful” for her to buy such clothes for Shiloh, considering it is well known that she likes to dress in similar style to her brothers.

A source told the newspaper: “It’s well documented that Shiloh likes to dress like a boy.

“But Jane still insists on buying her fairy costumes and princess dresses, which Angelina finds very disrespectful.”

It is the second time this year that Angelina Jolie has been left angry by Jane Pitt, after Brad’s mother wrote a letter to a local newspaper in the United States urging Americans to vote against President Barack Obama in the upcoming elections because of his support for gay marriage.

In a letter to the Springfield News-Leader in Missouri urging support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney, Jane Pitt wrote: “Any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who are prominent supporters of gay marriage and President Barack Obama, were said to be appalled by the letter.

They once said they would not marry until same-sex marriage was legalized in the US, but became engaged after pressure from their six children.

The source said: “Brad and Angelina were devastated by Jane’s actions. They have worked hard campaigning for equality, working closely with Barack Obama.

“Angelina called Jane and told her she believes she’s setting a bad example for the kids.”

A source told Star magazine at the time of the letter: “Jane has never wanted to talk politics with Angelina.

“She knew it would cause greater issues for them, and she wanted to try to have a relationship with the mother of her grandkids. She never thought her letter would be such a big deal.”

Brad Pitt once said of his mother’s outspoken views: “She’s very loving, very open, genuine, and it’s hilarious because she always gets painted as a she-devil.”

There were once rumors that Jane Pitt and husband Bill did not get along with their son’s long-term partner, favoring his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston instead.

But such myths were dispelled when they stepped out together in December last year to support Angelina Jolie at the premiere of her first venture in the director’s chair, In the Land of Blood and Honey.

Angelina Jolie has reportedly picked her wedding date with the help of a Buddhist monk.

Angelina Jolie, 37, is expected to marry fiancé Brad Pitt this summer and sources close to the star have revealed she will chose the top secret date with some spiritual help.

A source told the National Enquirer: “Angie has used Buddhist astrology in the past to help her pick the best or most auspicious days for important moments in her life.

“She’s relied on the Buddhist calendar to plan medical procedures and vacations for herself, Brad and the kids. She’s even used it for picking the dates of her movie openings.

“That’s when Angie was completely converted to Buddhist astrology and she’s not taking that chance with Brad. Angie is convinced the date of their union will guarantee their future happiness.”

Shiloh may be only six, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s oldest daughter has already developed her own sense of style. Her mom describes her as being a bit of a tomboy, with Shiloh preferring to wear boy’s clothes, including suits.

“I think she [Shiloh] is fascinating, the choices she is making,” Angelina Jolie said in a 2010 interview of Shiloh’s sense of style.

“And I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting…

“Children should be allowed to express themselves in whatever way they wish without anybody judging them because it is an important part of their growth. Society always has something to learn when it comes to the way we judge each other, label each other. We have far to go.”
