The duo have ranked as the highest-paid celebrity couple by Forbes with earnings of over $146 million earned over the last 12 months.

To add to their incomes, each has lucrative endorsement deals as Swift is the face of Diet Coke, Keds and Sony, while Harris promotes Giorgio Armani and Sol Republic headphones. If the two are heading for a committed relationship then with their escalating careers, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris may be setting themselves up for a longstanding place at the top of this list.
