3. Jay-Z and Beyonce
The first couple of music is tight with the first couple of the United States. The superstars hosted a fund-raiser for President Obama during his re-election campaign last fall, and Beyonce later performed the national anthem at January’s inauguration. The couple’s April trip to Cuba was investigated by the U.S. Treasury Department, after lawmakers raised questions about the legality of the visit (the controversy was overblown — the anniversary trip was pre-approved). Jay-Z is on tour with Justin Timberlake this summer, where he’s taking home an estimated $100,000 per show, and Beyonce kicked off her 65-date world tour a couple of weeks ago.
