The Carters’ Alleged Pre-Nup Details

According to Wendy Williams, here’s what’s poppin’ with Beyonce and Uncle Jay’s (what Gwyneth Paltrow’s kids call Jay-Z) prenuptial agreement:
Beyonce is worth estimated $100 million and Jay-Z is worth estimated $300 million.
She will have access to all the money, accounts, cars, NetJet private plane service, the yacht, homes and offices they share during the marriage.
She will get $10 million after 2 years of marriage, then $1 million every year of marriage up to 15 years.
$5 million dollars for every child she has by him.
If they split, she will get $10 million plus a house worth $10 million and she will get to keep all clothes, jewelry and gifts earned during the marriage.
I don’t know about y’all but it sounds like a winner to me. Where’s my application so I can get in on this?

Wendy Williams is a dumb ass beyonce is worth way more than 100 million dollars she made 54 million last year alone from her tour not to mention all the destiny’s child tours,albums and product endorsments and Jay Z is worth at least 600 million according to forbes Jay Z and Beyonce combinded is at least 800 million dollars and i’m not making this up i saw it on forbes tv after they got married anywayz the pre-nup sounds good i’m glad they got one

If he is worth $300 million then this is not such a great deal.
Juanita Jordan anyone?
Also, I don’t want to be superficial but I don’t find him that attractive and I would really have a hard time with that. But if she loves him then that is great for her and from what it seems they are in love and I am sure that pre nup means nothing her for her since she already has a good stash of her own.

Oh she put it ON him, no?
Chick is killin’ it if that’s the deal she got. He WANTS this woman and is clearly opening up all his assets and accounts to make sure she knows it.
Not a bad deal.

OKay I’ve read on other sites that Jay put up an educational trust fund for Sean Bell’s kids…That’s very generous of him.

dats why ain’t getting married. Sounds too much of a business deal, but then again…thats what it is now a days anywayz. Dats one of the reasons i have no intentions of gettign married. He’d have to knock me off my feet.

THIS IS BULLSH!T FIRST OF ALL JAY-Z AND BEYONCE ARE WORTH MORE THAN THAT! HELL, BEYONCE GROSSED MORE THAN $150 MILLION LAST YEAR ALONE! WENDY NEEDS MORE PEOPLE. JAY-Z IS WORTH OVER $650 MILLION, AND HE JUST FINALIZED HIS LIVENATION DEAL FOR $165 MILLION. THOSE NUMBERS ARE WAY OFF.
NATASHA THERE IS A BETTER STORY IN JAY-Z SETTING UP TRUST FUNDS FOR NICOLE AND SHAWN BELL DAUGHTERS’.

As much as I want to believe this, the source is Wendy Williams……soooooo yeah. I need some other people to say it before I believe it.
And Beyonce is def worth more than a 100 mil.

And unless your a millionaire or married to one, you wouldnt understand why she gets money if they divorce or why a prenup is even needed. So dont tire your little brains trying to figure it out.

Bogus! They definitely have a prenup, but trust, it would never be on the internet! Beyonce can make 25 mil doing 20 shows. That’s no money! Jay would pay out more than that!
On May 2, 2008 | Reply | Quote
Money aint everything! Especially if she already has her own. This sounds to business deal for me….who gets paid to be married to someone, not talking about divorce because it said $1 mill a year that they are married.
I believe it because her Daddy Knowles may have set this deal up, he is not stupid.

I know it’s that awesome?! I’m glad they’re getting the support they need from the black community that has the ability to help in a substantial way, because they need it after what has happened. That’s one less thing Mrs. Bell has to worry about.
And this is rubbish b/c details of a pre-nup are confidential.

It’s not getting paid to be married to someone…It’s getting paid IF and after they divorce…Which may end up being NEVER…Most wives who marry a man with decent income that’s more than theirs get something after the divorce…I’m not sure why people are acting brand new…

They may have made that but what about the millions they have to pay out to their workers, drivers, stylists, personal assistants, their production companies, etc. let’s not forget about taxes, etc. It’s just like when i get my W2 - it may say I made near 60G’s but i KNOW that I didn’t get that money in my hand!

That’s how you know their relationship is real.

He’ll probably address it on his next album. Jay never really address controversial things like this in the media. The Katrina thing I THINK he did (I know he wrote a check and a song about it). But I knew he’d do something for the family because he established somewhat of a rapport with Ms. Bell when he had her and her kids in the Rocawear ads. I’m just glad he actually did something (since he has the ability to do it) instead of just saying something about it. You know what I mean?

Sounds like a good deal for both of them, but really J, I mean you don’t make that much nmoney not knowing how to hold on to it.(maybe you do ex. Paul McCartney) Basically if you put his 3 with her 1 and divide, that’s 200M, after 20 years of marrige and 10 lil jays, that only eguals 75, 78mil, not hardly half at all. This is a I’ll keep mines and you keep yours deal. Jay has spent more on diamonds. But you know Papa Knowles wasn’t gonna let her get got either. This deal really makes it sound like love:)

Juanita Jordan was not a groupie. She was a very successful caterer who Jordan spotted at one of the Chicago Bulls’ Events. He chased her down as she was older than him and was not trying to get involved at the time. Believe, Jordan does not marry a groupie and have three children and a long marriage with her. Juanita called it quits b/c she became tired of the same old broken promises.
Damn, can you imagine being the wife of Michael or Denzel? They are being offered any and every thing that women can think of every where they go. that drama just gets old and not worth it at some point.
What I am trying to determine is who do you date after you have been married to the Greatest EVER. . . Juanita, Bey and all the rest of better protect their paper, talents and treasures from these trifflin’ men out there!!!
LOL!!

You date Investment Bankers,(they know how to keep you rich) that’s who Juanita is with now, and hes a lot younger and pretty damn fine, go juanita.
Also I hope mimi was smart enough to get a pre-nup, I mean it happened so quick who has time to call lawyers lol.
(good comment about juanita, people are so quick to call any black woman a hoe, a groupie or a gold-digger, black men can’t just marry us for love;( wow!)

YBF Readers and Fans,
Please keep in mind that “net worth” is not the money you make/revenue you ear. It is the amount you have left after all of your debts (bills, bills, bills) are paid!!
Did anyone see that “Behind The Music” episode where Lefteye explains how you can be broke real quick as an artist, especially if you do not understan how album dollars/points work?
Seeing that both Jay-Z and Beyonce have some costly real estate that I am sure is mortgaged along with expensive cars and entourages, Beyonce’s hair/weave bill (she should really consider her own hair line), payrolls (you know, Papa Knowles cost a pretty penny, Ha!!), keep quiet money stacks (for jump offs and people in the know who they want to keep quiet), traveling expenses (the private jets and yachts add up real quick), jewelry, private investments deals (the Nets, House of Dereon or House of AllWrong as some call it), charitable giving, Solange’s Allowance, Jay Z’s child support expenses, etc. Their “net worth” can be downsized real quick!!!
Why you think he came out of retirement? It is not ego-driven, I assure you!!

This whole marriage sound like a bussinss deal if b is already worth 100 million why does she need money from j just to be married to him.what about being an idependent woman b. a real idependent women wouldnt even need all that. I agree she should keep the whatever is bought for her during the marriage but if they really loved each other they wouldnt have to do all this ish. I think their whole relationship is a publicity stunt they have already acknowledged she gives him pop exposer and he gives her street cred. they need each other. I wonder how famous either one of them would be if they had never met

I’m by no means an expert, but I can’t see a marriage with two people earning what they own that comes with a prenup like this. In marriages where both are high earners that we have seen dissolve, there are times when the wife simply declines any spousal support, etc. and they just divide the property. Jay-Z and Beyonce are one of the few couples in entertainment where the woman brings almost as much to the table as the man. Even Jada Pinkett Smith, who has her own career is nowhere near in the earnings range of her husband. Beyonce may not be a match to Jay now, but he’s had more time to amass his fortune, thinking ahead, she may come out the top earner in the long run. Shit anything can and does happen with celebs, but in this case, I can’t see it being the truth. It actually sounds like a rehashing of the controversial prenup NBA player Dikembe Mutumbo asked his fiancee to accept like a decade ago. (The fiancee, wisely, called off the wedding.) On the other hand, sports mad Jigga would know about that prenup, so maybe he copied it. But given Wendy and the National Enquirer’s track record, I wouldn’t bet my teensy by comparison paycheck on it.

IF SHE WORTH $100 MIL AND HE WORTH $300 MIL…THAT 10 CENT PRE-NUP DEAL AIN’T BOUT ‘ISH’…THATs A DROP IN THE PAN FOR BOTH…BEYONCE PROBABLY SPEND THAT IN A DAY ON SHOES…I WOULD HOPE SHE DID BETTAH THAN THAT. PLUS IF THEY WERE SO SECRETRATIVE ABOUT THE MARRIAGE, I THINK IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THEY WOULD LET DETAILS OF A PRENUP LEAK OUT…I’M JUST SAYIN’
