The study looked at 22 high-profile couples in music, film, fashion and sports. It uses a celebrity database to calculate each partner’s personal wealth, then combines the numbers to estimate total net worth. The researchers also tracked how often two names appeared together in news headlines to assess whether financial strength matched media visibility, JB.com reported.

Jay-Z amassed the couple’s $2.5 billion fortune through his hip-hop career and business ventures. Beyoncé has a net worth of $1 billion, earned from her 30-year music career.

The two were married for 17 years and appeared in more than 34.4 million headlines together, the study said.
