Tim McGraw and Keith Urban are the major breadwinners in their respective households, according to a recent issue of PEOPLE magazine. The article examined the 2008 incomes of several celebrity power couples and found that two of the reigning male country music stars are earning bigger paychecks than their famous wives.
McGraw’s $70 million paycheck, from sales of his platinum album ‘Let It Go’ and from the Soul 2 Soul Tour, beat wife Faith Hill‘s $39 million that she made from the same tour and from her album sales. Urban made $35 million, also from album sales and touring, narrowly beating out the $22 million his movie-star wife, Nicole Kidman, earned from movies and endorsements.
When asked to comment in a recent interview Hill joked “This is a good thing because I dont think Tim’s “manly man” ego could handle it any other way”
