According to Forbes in their good-as-gold list of who’s who among the rich and the famous have ranked this year on their number fifth spot of the highest earning Hollywood couple as David and Victoria Beckham. Last year, they had been on the third spot of this very list but in 2010 they seem to have gone a little poorer than usual.

So if you are thinking and hoping that you will be able to spot Victoria in some retail sweat pants and maybe catch David grabbing a Starbucks coffee on his way to a regular job you are going to be highly disappointed because even though they have grown poorer in the eyes of Forbes, they have still managed to bag home 31 million pounds of money and that is as good as it gets as many of us would consider.

However the sad part is that even though they earned so much money and most of us would consider that as a lot, they have been side tracked by the super celebrity couple Beyonce and husband JayZee who together earned close to 83 million pounds last year putting them at the top of the list this year. Although the great news is that the Beckham’s are the only British couple to have made it to the top five of this particular list in Forbes magazine.

Maybe Victoria needs to pick up a few pointers from the reigning King and Queen of the list, Beyonce is known to have earned the maximum amount in the couple’s total earning, where she is said to have earned 61 million pounds. Her earnings are got through her efforts in the music industry as well as the businesses that she oversees as well as the products that she endorses. Not only her husband JayZee also has some of the most popular songs on the charts as well as the fact that he performs around the world as well as endorses popular products. Whatever their winning combination is it definitely is great as they have overtaken every other couple especially the Beckhams’ who were expected to do nothing else but earn more this year.

In the Beckham household the person who earns the most money is David who earns it through his contracts with the AC Milan as well as Los Angeles Galaxy; his endorsements however are not as much as Beyonce’s are. In any case, between this couple it is David Beckham who does most of the earning as compared to the other couples on the list.
