How we ranked these
We added together the latest published figures for each partner, using Forbes real-time estimates where available and Celebrity Net Worth estimates for everyone else. Only couples who are married or long-term partners in October 2026 are included.
Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault, who led our earlier list, are not ranked. The Pinault family fortune, about $24.2 billion, is listed by Forbes under his father, François Pinault, so no separate figure exists for the couple.
