Some things just work better in twos. What's fish without chips? Tricks without treats? A song without a dance? Perfect pairings transcend into the world of romance and a love story with two influential individuals can create an immense amount of power and influence.
From Brangelina to Posh and Becks, there have been some iconic power couples throughout the years giving us serious #relationshipgoals, but which celebrity couples can claim to be the most influential of them all?
We’ve ranked 40 dynamic duos based on their estimated net worth and social following to find out.
For the last twenty years, this power couple has dominated the music industry as well as making huge waves in fashion, sportswear and more. With countless sales and awards between them, they are two of the most successful business moguls in the world.
They come top of our ranking due to a combined net worth of $1.5bn (largely due to Jay’s business ventures such as Roc Nation and Tidal) and Beyoncé’s incredible social following (Jay technically doesn’t have an Insta account so we used his Roc Nation account instead!).
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most influential and powerful women in the world, however, her wealth and fame were built not only on hard work and dedication to business but in her love life too.
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey has been with her partner Stedman Graham for almost 35 years and has built up an incredible net worth of $3.5bn and social following of 18 million. While her long-term partner Stedman doesn’t quite match those numbers, he still has an impressive estimated net worth of $10 million from his business and writing careers.
They may be a relatively new couple, but that doesn't mean we should underestimate their power. In fact, whilst their net worth doesn’t top the list, newlyweds Justin and Hailey boast more Instagram followers than any other couple on the list, with over 155 million.
Whilst Justin had previously been in a high-profile on and off relationship with Selena Gomez, he tied the knot with Hailey late last year. As a well-known model, Hailey already had plenty of admiration, however, these two combined seem unstoppable!

We combined the estimated net worth and Instagram followers of both people in each couple and gave each a normalised score out of 100 based on the two factors, before taking an average score.
Estimated net worth figures were taken from Celebrity Net Worth, while Instagram followers were sourced from each person’s personal Instagram profile, with the exception of Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation business profile was used.
Note that for some couples, only their joint estimated net worth was provided, rather than individually.
If you’re wondering why you can’t see a certain celebrity couple, it could be that either one of them doesn’t have an active Instagram profile, so we couldn’t estimate their following.
