Top earner AngeAngelina 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

6. Sandra Bullock, $15 m

6. Reese Witherspoon, $15 m

8. Nicole Kidman, $12 m

8. Drew Barrymore, $12 m

10. Renee Zellweger, $10 m
