Celebrity Women Who Earn More Money Than Their Male Partners

For years, convention has positioned men as the primary earners in their romantic relationships — but that isn’t always the case anymore. While we are seeing this change of norm across many different types of people, it’s especially evident among celebrity couples.

In these relationships, both parties are well acclimated to the Hollywood scene, but only one comes in as the primary breadwinner … and it’s the woman. These high-profile ladies bring home the bacon in their relationships (according to information found on sites like Celebrity Net Worth) and it’s not just a small amount of bacon either.

Check out all these celebrity ladies who make more money than their men. Who run the world?
