Rich list reveals most cashed up couples


Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen and her American footballer husband Tom Brady have seen off Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles to be named the world's wealthiest celebrity couple.
The mega-rich supermodel and her sports star partner took home a joint income of $US75 million ($72.56 million) in 2010, according to the list compiled by Forbes magazine.
Gisele Bundchen had already been named the highest-earning model in the world for the past three years, boosted by lucrative campaigns with Versace, Dior, True Religion jeans and Ebel watches and a successful shoe line.
Beyonce and Jay-Z came in second after they earned $US70 million. The Bootylicious singer enjoyed earnings of $US34 million thanks to her music career and a string of high-profile fashion endorsements, and her husband took around $US36 million, which largely consisted of music earnings.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie earned $US49 million between them, David and Victoria Beckham netted $US44 million, and Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart round out the top five with earnings of $US36 million.
