Angelina Jolie tops lists of highest earning actresses in Hollywood last year
As well as raising her six strong brood, Angelina Jolie managed to rake in a whopping $27m last year. Not bad as she only did two movies.
The actress has topped a list of female earners, beating her former love rival Jennifer Aniston into second place.
But Jen can console herself with the fact that she pocketed (or should that be pursed?) $25m herself.
According to Forbes magazine, who released the figures:
"Much of Angelina's earnings came from her share of the profits on 'Wanted', but she also scored a fat upfront cheque 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."
Here's the top ten in full.
1. Angelina Jolie, $27 m
2. Jennifer Aniston, $25 m
3. Meryl Streep, $24 m
4. Sarah Jessica Parker, $23 m
5. Cameron Diaz, $20 m
