Forbes just released their first annual list of Hollywood's Top-Earning Couples. Here are the top five breadwinners pulling in beaucoup bucks between June 2007 and June 2008. Who's got top billing for bragging rights?

1. $162 mil: Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles collectively raked in $162 mil with music, films, fashion and monster endorsements. What's the respective breakdown? Jay-Z's hip-hop brand hauled in $82 mil; Beyoncé's R&B empire collected a cool $80 mil.
2. $85 mil: Will and Jada Pinkett Smith pulled in $85 mil. Will raked in $80 mil from "I Am Legend," "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Hancock." Jada made $5 mil from "The Women," "The Human Contract" (as producer) and a stake in the Carol's Daughter beauty line.
3. $58 mil: David and Victoria Beckham banked $58 mil. Their move to America paid off -- Becks made $50 mil from L.A. Galaxy merch, sponsorships and colossal product endorsements. Posh generated $8 mil from her Spice Girls reunion tour and a slew of fashion product lines.
4. $35 mil: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill brought in $35 mil from their Soul-2-Soul concert tour and from their respective albums, "Let It Go" and "The Hits." Every time Hill's catchy NFL theme song plays on Sunday Night Football, these country crooners collect a nice check.
5. $34 mil: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, our fave globetrotting do-gooders banked $34 mil -- thanks to Jolie's "Beowulf" and "A Mighty Heart," and Pitt's "Oceans 13," and "The Assassination of Jesse James." Pitt also produced "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," "A Mighty Heart" and "Tree of Life."
