Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Coming in at No. 17 are headline-making Cruise and Holmes. But it's more than just ink they generate: The dynamic duo also made plenty of trips to the bank between June of 2007 and 2008, with deposits of $13.25 million.

Heidi Klum and Seal

They may be a bit touchy-feely, but who can blame them? Seal and Klum are as gorgeous as their bank account, which grew by $15.5 million. That’s $1.5 from Seal, and the rest from workhorse Heidi, placing them at No. 15.

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria Parker

The couple earned a combined $22.5 million this past year, which earns them the No. 9 slot. Good sport Tony took home $13.5 million, while Eva banked $9 million. Desperate housewife? Hardly!

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman

There are 25 million reasons for Keith and Nicole to keep the A-list country love flowing, enough to land them at No. 8 on the Forbes list. The Aussie pair’s earning power is split almost down the middle, thanks to music and movies.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith

Just a few cents way from the top slot, Mr. and Mrs. Smith squeeze in at No. 2 with their astonishing $85 million paycheck in tow. A-lister Will scored $80 million of that. Who wouldn’t be nice with that kind of money?
