Hollywood's Highest Paid Actresses
Angelina Jolie
07-06-2009  Weirdest Robkast
Angelina Jolie vacillates between two kinds of movies: award bait, like A Mighty Heart, and action films, like Wanted. The former earn her nominations and critical praise: She won an Oscar in 2000 for her work in Girl, Interrupted and a Best Actress nomination for last year's Changeling. The latter earn her big bucks. On the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," where Angie met her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, earned $480 million at the worldwide box office. Last year's Wanted brought in $341 million. Jolie's cinematic butt kicking made her the highest-paid actress list. Between June 2008 and June 2009, Jolie earned an estimated $27 million. Much of that came from her share of the profits on Wanted, but she also scored a fat upfront check for Salt, an action film originally slated to star Tom Cruise, in which Jolie plays a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. Judging by scenes filmed on the streets of New York City, the film should have plenty of action to satisfy Jolie's fans.

Coming in second behind Jolie is Jennifer Aniston, continuing the never-ending tabloid battle between the two actresses. Jen earned $25 million thanks to her work in the romantic comedy Marley & Me and the upcoming comedy "The Baster," in which Aniston plays a woman who tries to become pregnant on her own. Aniston still earns money from her time on the show "Friends" and she gets a nice paycheck shilling for Glaceau's SmartWater.



Meryl Streep ranks third on our list thanks to last summer's surprise smash hit Mamma Mia. The film took in $603 million at theaters internationally and helped Streep earn $24 million between June 2008 and June 2009. Now instead of being known just as the most-nominated actress in film history, she's also known as a moneymaker. Streep should soon be able to boost her asking price, especially if her upcoming movie Julie & Julia does well at the box office.

The rest of the top ten look like this:

4. Sarah Jessica Parker. $23 million
5. Cameron Diaz. $20 million
6. Sandra Bullock. $15 million
7. Reese Witherspoon. $15 million
8. Nicole Kidman. $ 12 million
9. Drew Barrymoore. $12 million
10. Renee Zellweger. $10 million
