All that gender equality stuff sounds good until payday. Now that the stat about women earning 77 cents for every dollar a man makes has been debunked, let’s get real.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Common sense suggests that even millionaire women want the option of a love life if they so choose. And there are only so many dollars to go around. These 14 famous women that out earned their men had no issue being female breadwinners. We should all be so lucky.

Nicki Minaj

For all of the whips, kicks, and Dreamchasers chains, Meek Mill is still on the fringes of being “rapper rich.” Nicki Minaj has hit that upper echelon. She got cashed out for that horrible season of American Idol, she’s toured with Britney Spears, and she’s been in a legit movie.

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart

Cris Judd can rest easy in the knowledge that J-Lo probably gave both Ben Affleck and Diddy a literal run for their money. She gets the dough, so Casper Smart’s life savings probably looks like her coin purse.

Common and Serena Williams

Even with decades of rapping and some new acting money, Comm ain’t touching that $40 million Serena got from Nike. She’s also got at lest $50 million in career earnings from tennis.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren

Cash Warren was probably getting out-earned back when Jessica Alba was just an actress. In case you haven’t heard, the all-natural childcare goods company she co-founded might be worth a billion dollars.

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry

Either Gabriel Aubry has a massively strong pimp hand, or he’s quite possibly the world’s biggest douche. After knocking up Halle Berry, it became public knowledge that Halle had to cough up 20 bands per month in spousal support to her “model” ex-husband.

Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga

J-Hud’s man is a semi-famous WWE wrestler. Stop playing.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey

Yes, Nick Cannon has a small empire of mediocre television shows. Mariah Carey has at least two albums that have sold 10 million copies each, and even her wack albums put up numbers. Do you know how much cake you have to be sitting on to get on a treadmill in a pair of Red Bottoms on MTV Cribs?

Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham

By all accounts, Stedman Graham is legitimately wealthy. But Oprah is one of the richest African-Americans on the planet. Case closed.

French Montana and Khloe Kardashian

Truth be told, Kendall Jenner probably gets more dough than French Montana, so you know big sister Khloe is caking. That’s not a knock on French Montana. Rap just doesn’t pay like that.

Iggy Azalea and Nick Young

Nick Young makes $5.3 million before taxes. Would anyone like to wager on Iggy bringing in more than that off “Fancy” alone?

Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen

Tom Brady is one of the few NFL players who may play long enough to earn his signing bonus. And since he baits the referees, he has a good chance of having the mental capacity to count all of his $150 million bucks. If you double that figure, then he’d have as much paper as his wife.

Chanel Iman and A$AP Rocky

No shots at A$AP, but Chanel Iman’s Victoria’s Secret deal alone might be worth more than he pocketed from album sales and touring.

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri

Her new man is a billionaire, but when Janet was dating the likes of Jermaine Dupri and James DeBarge, it wasn’t particularly close.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick

Seriously though, what does Scott Disick actually do for a living other than pipe down Kourtney? That man is a living example of what Kevin Federline should have done.
