Men make the money in the relationship, right? Wrong! The world is changing, and though unequal pay and outdated gender roles haven't gone away, the world is also making progress. There are many powerful women out there, especially in show business. In fact, there are plenty of celebrity couples where the woman is the breadwinner. For instance, you may have been surprised by the news that NFLer Tom Brady makes less than his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen.
The Kardashian-Jenner family is full of matriarchs. Having recently earned the status of "self-made" billionaire, Kylie Jenner is worth leagues more than her musician partner, Travis Scott.
The 'American Idol' winner has a famous husband in Mike Fisher, a former ice hockey star. That said, Underwood is worth over US$50 million more than her husband.
Jessica Simpson went from being a recording artist to becoming an entrepreneur. She makes a little more than her husband, Eric Johnson, a former NFLer.
Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone are an acting couple who have often starred alongside each other. But McCarthy's undoubtedly the bigger star, with a net worth of US$70 million.
