Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
Whether it is signing a multi-million dollar movie deal or taking their six kids out on a supermarket stroll, everything that Hollywood’s ‘it’ couple say or do makes news. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — Brangelina to fans the world over — are filmdom’s most powerful couple, dictating box-office figures, fashion trends, relationship rules and parenting codes. When they are not making a pretty picture together at red carpet dos, they are zipping off to war-ravaged countries to offer aid and relief. Today, Brangelina is a force, a product and a marketing mechanism, topping power lists individually and as a couple. What makes brand Brangelina even bigger? The fact that Hollywood’s most powerful couple are also its most gorgeous!
David & Victoria Beckham
He: one of the world’s most recognised soccer stars. She: a former Spice Girl-turned-fashion icon and celebrity designer. Fabulously rich and fabulously famous, the Beckhams — David and Victoria, aka Posh — are a power couple. Red carpet events or football matches, celebrity gatherings or state dinners, ad campaigns or brand launches, the two never put a foot wrong. Wherever they go and whatever they do, David and Posh are most-wanted — together. Sunglasses to perfumes, clothes to jewellery, the net worth of Brand Beckham has soared over the last decade, touching the $50 million mark in 2010. With baby number four on the way and a booming social life, Brand Beckham can only get bigger.
Barack & Michelle Obama
He is the most powerful man in the world. She is the power behind the most powerful man in the world. US president Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle are a force to reckon with, at the White House and outside. While his political status invariably spells power, it is her carefully cultivated public image — Harvard law graduate, social activist, fashion icon, flawless speaker, supportive wife and doting mother — that contributes significantly towards making the Obamas a power couple. The much-in-love pair represents the values of middle-class living, high thinking and family bonding, counting as one of Gen Y’s most inspirational role models.
Prosenjit & Arpita Chatterjee
Though Tollywood’s first couple are rarely seen together in public and they haven’t been co-stars since Pratibad in 2001, Prosenjit and Arpita Chatterjee combine glamour with power in tinsel town. While he is Tollywood’s leading star, she has just made a comeback to films, picking and choosing her projects with studied care. A far cry from snooty star spouses, Prosenjit-Arpita make an eye-catching pair, friendly and easy-going. If only they did a film together now...
Bill & Melinda Gates
The power couple of philanthropy, Bill and Melinda Gates have brought hope into the lives of millions across the world through their charity work. The founder of Microsoft Corporation — and for years the world’s richest man — and his wife of 16 years are the force behind the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest transparently operated private foundation in the world. As a team, Bill and Melinda are committed to working towards better healthcare facilities, poverty alleviation, expansion of educational opportunities and access to information technology globally. A power couple like no other.
Saif Ali Khan & Kareena Kapoor
Though unmarried, Saifeena’s power in Bollywood and beyond is never in doubt. While their films together —Tashan to Kurbaan — may not have set the box office on fire, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are the in-demand couple for big-deal endorsements, celebrity interviews and flashy public dos. Even individually, their careers are on a high. She has a film with each of the three Khans this year, while he wears the dual hats of actor and producer with ease. As different as chalk and cheese, together Saif and Kareena are dynamite. And then, of course, is the lineage. He royalty, she from the first family of Bollywood. Can it get more powerhouse than that?
Ajay Devgn & Kajol
A Bollywood couple that defy tried-and-tested norms, Ajay and Kajol spell power because they do things on their own terms — individually and together. At a time when the Khans and the Kumars vie for box-office glory, Ajay quietly walks away with a couple of hits every year while Kajol is the only B-town heroine who can guarantee a film a good opening. Together, their films may not have set the cash registers jingling but the Devgns are still greatly in demand — on the big screen and in the ad world.
Mukesh & Nita Ambani
He is India’s richest man. She helps him plan how to rake in those millions. Mukesh and Nita Ambani are undoubtedly the most powerful couple in Indian business. He is the corporate honcho, dictating local and global business. She is actively involved in philanthropic activities in the fields of education, human resources and disaster relief, besides being the maalkin of Mumbai Indians, their IPL team.
Abhishek Bachchan & Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Often billed India’s biggest power couple, Abhi-Ash have a total net worth running into a few hundred crores. Red carpet at the Academy Awards or a film set in Mumbai, the Abhishek-Aishwarya star power commands attention and respect. Ash is the more visible of the two — from a Miss World title to a wax statue at Madame Tussauds — with Abhi lending strong and silent support. Add to that the Bachchan surname, which automatically opens doors and gets the red carpets rolling. All thanks to Paa!
