Keith & Nicole, Tim & Faith Among Forbes’ Richest Couples

Country music continues to prove it is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment world, thanks to sold-out concerts, soaring album sales and stars such as Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift extending their talents into film and TV. And when it comes to a two-income household, country music is also well-represented among the heftiest wage-earners.

In Forbes magazine's latest list, detailing the top money-making couples in Hollywood, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill came in at a respectable No. 12. Taking in a combined income of $28 million, both husband and wife contributed to their bankable status in 2009. Tim's album, 'Let It Go,' reached double-platinum sales, and he also proved his worth as an actor, starring in the blockbuster film, 'The Blind Side,' opposite Sandra Bullock. Meanwhile, Faith sang the Sunday night football theme song for NBC, earning her a hefty sum each week for the duration of the NFL season.

Just a few slots behind them, at No. 15: Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, who raked in $17 million last year, with each spouse earning roughly the same amount. Nicole, one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, starred in the movie 'Australia' with Hugh Jackman, while Keith's album, 'Defying Gravity,' debuted at the top of the charts. Keith also had his successful Escape Together World Tour, which included stops in Canada and Australia.

Coming in at No.1 on the list: Jay-Z and Beyonce, who continue to reign in the hip-hop world, raking in $122 million last year. They are followed by Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, with $69 million, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at $55 million, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith at $48 million and David and Victoria Beckham closing in at $46 million.

Other power couples on the list include Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria Parker, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi and Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley, poised to be another country-music-fueled duo (in part), since Josh is currently working on his first country album.
