Not to be outdone by Madonna, who is reportedly Pop music’s first billionaire, period. Spotted on High Snobiety:

Beyoncé was recently made the face and body of H&M’s summer bikini collection as she prepared to rake in $115 million USD from her world tour. The combined earnings make her and Jay-Z pop’s first billionaire couple, industry insiders say. Beyoncé kicked off her world tour in the Serbian capital Belgrade last night, it was the first of her 58 concerts in Europe and North America. It’s believed that she will scoop approximately $1.9 million USD for each show. Together the couple now has an estimated net worth of $1 billion USD.

UPDATE: Above is CNN’s waste-of-time coverage of the scrutiny that the Carter’s are recieving from their Cuban excursion.

Haters. From NY Daily News:

A pair of U.S. lawmakers are questioning how Jay-Z and Beyoncé were allowed to travel to Cuba last week to mark their wedding anniversary.

Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, both Republicans from Florida, wrote a letter to the director of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control expressing “concern” over the megastars’ trip to the Caribbean nation, according to The Miami Herald.

United States citizens are permitted to travel to Cuba only if they obtain a certain license. Although there is a ban for mere tourism, thousands of Americans journey to the island nation each year on academic, religious or journalistic licenses.

You can check out excepts of that letter below:

“We would like to respectfully request, within all applicable rules and guidelines, information regarding the type of licence that Beyoncé and Jay-Z received, for what purpose, and who approved such travel.

“If these individuals were given people-to-people licenses, we would like to bring to your attention the Cuba Travel Advisory issued by OFAC on July 25, 2011 which states, ‘OFAC only licenses People-to-People Groups that certify that all participants will have a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities that will result in meaningful interaction between the travelers and individuals in Cuba.’”

“US dollars spent on Cuban tourism directly fund the machinery of oppression that brutally represses the Cuban people.”

Reports TMZ:

A website — we’re not disclosing the name — has posted social security numbers, mortgage amounts, credit card info, car loans, banking and other info of major celebs. In addition to Beyonce and Jay-Z … the site has snagged financial dossiers of Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher, Joe Biden, Robert Mueller, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck.

The site was not able to get a lot on Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton, but most of the others on the list have had their financial info compromised.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the LAPD has already launched an investigation. We’re told the FBI is looking into it.
