At any given time in the modern era, there has always been a slew of different celebrity power couples that the general public couldn’t get enough of. For example, these days people love celebrity pairings like Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, as well as Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
Even though all of the aforementioned couples are extremely popular, there is one modern celebrity pairing that arguably rules supreme, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. After all, everyone knows how extremely talented Jazy-Z and Beyoncé are separately and it has been astonishing to see them push one another to even more success throughout their relationship. For example, even though the COVID-19 pandemic has had a monumentally negative effect on the world since its global spread, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have remained very busy. In fact, Jay-Z and Beyoncé even managed to make a fortune during the pandemic.
Beyoncé Inked A Multiyear Deal With Peloton
In this day and age, it often seems like virtually every human being on Earth has dreams of becoming rich and famous someday. Of course, that will never happen for the vast majority of people and when you look at how most celebrities are treated, it seems silly that so many people want to be in the spotlight. After all, even though the masses typically love to see someone rise to fame, a lot of people seem to relish their fall from grace even more. For proof of that, all you have to do is look at the fact that after he was beloved for years, people now seem to love dunking on Chris Pratt.
Fortunately for Beyoncé, it often feels like she is the one modern celebrity that will always remain widely beloved. After all, even when she gets lightly criticized online, lots of people come out to defend her and praise her incredible work ethic. On top of that, there has yet to be a controversy that has stuck to Beyoncé long enough to tarnish her image in any way. With all of that in mind, it makes perfect sense that most major brands would love to be positively associated with Beyoncé in any way.
By November of 2020, it had been months since the world was first rocked by COVID-19. With millions of people all over the world either in lockdown or avoiding public spaces, exercise equipment companies were cashing in. For example, Peloton’s stationary bikes and treadmills had become very popular since they allowed people to feel like they were working out with other people while in the safety of their home. Clearly wanting to keep that momentum going and attract new customers, Peloton announced that they had inked a multiyear deal with Beyoncé.
As of the time of this writing, it is still unknown how much money Peloton paid Beyoncé to create content for their platform. However, based on how in-demand Beyoncé is, there is no doubt that she earned a fortune from the deal. With that in mind, it makes sense that she is currently worth $500 million according to celebritynetworth.com.
Jay-Z Made Two Massive Business Deals
Long before Jay-Z and Beyoncé became a power couple, he’d already cemented his legacy as one of the best musical artists of the modern era. Unlike some musicians who rest on their laurels after becoming legendry, it seems like Jay-Z has decided to work even harder. After all, Jay-Z has become a legitimate business magnate. For proof of the fact that Jay-Z seems to have the Midas touch in business, all you have to do is look at the ways he has made money since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
In 2021 alone, Jay-Z has found several ways to expand his net worth. For instance, in 2021, Jay-Z created and sold the “Heir to the Throne” NFT collection to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his debut album’s release. Even though Jay-Z was said to have netted a small fortune from that endeavor it pales in comparison to the two major business deals he inked.
First off, in February of 2021, it was announced that Jay-Z sold half of his champagne line Ace of Spades to luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. If that wasn’t impressive enough, Jay-Z would arguably make an even more impressive deal a few months later. After all, in May of 2021 Jay-Z reportedly sold the majority of his streaming service Tidal to Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey for roughly $300 million.
Given all of the major money deals that Jay-Z made in 2021 alone, it makes sense that his net worth has exploded during the pandemic. Still, it is amazing that celebritynetworth.com reports that Jay-Z is currently worth $1.3 billion and he and Beyoncé have a combined net worth of $1.8 billion.
