Forbes has released a list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood between June 2013 and July 2013. The magazine compiled information from agents, managers, and other people in the industry to come up with the estimated total revenue for every big name in Hollywood. Here is a list…
$33 Million
Angelina Jolie: If there’s any indication that money doesn’t always equal success, just take a look at Angelina Jolie. She is one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. Despite the fact that Jolie hasn’t made a major blockbuster movie since 2010’s The Tourist. She still managed to make $33 million within the last year to top Forbes’s list. Jolie will be making her comeback in the big screen next summer in Disney’s Maleficent, a retelling of the classic children’s story Sleeping Beauty.
$26 Million
Jennifer Lawrence: Months after rocking the world with the film adaption of The Hunger Games, Lawrence won her first Academy Award for her role as a bipolar widow in the romantic comedy Silver Linings Playbook. Lawrence’s earnings in the last 12 months are estimated to be about $26 million.
$22 Million
Kristen Stewart: The Twilight star is only 23 years old and she’s been making headlines for the last five years now. Stewart topped our list of Hollywood’s Highest-Paid Actresses last year and is third this year, but she likely won’t be on it again for a while. While she helped make Snow White and the Huntsman a hit, a sequel is still a ways off and the actress doesn’t seem terribly interested in doing more big-budget movies. Stewart estimated earnings are $22 million.
$20 Million
Jennifer Aniston: Thanks to Friends, Aniston would be fine if she never worked another day in her life. Instead, she’s mostly doing movies that appeal to her artistic side. Jennifer Aniston is still one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood. With recent appearances in Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers combined with several sponsorship, Aniston racked in $20 million over the last year. She still earns big from her deals with Vitamin Water and Aveeno skin care and she’s never out of the press. Her recent engagement to actor Justin Theroux was one of the biggest tabloid stories of 2012.
$16 Million
Emma Stone: Perhaps best known for her role in 2011’s The Help, the 24-year old starlet continued to make waves in 2012 as the Spiderman’s love interest in The Amazing Spiderman. The talented actress who also starred in Gangster Squad rounds out Forbes’s list with $16 million in earnings.
$15 Million
Charlize Theron: Theron likes to balance her work in similar films, like 2011’s Young Adult, with bigger-budget fare like last year’s Snow White and the Huntsman. She also starred in Prometheus, the kind-of prequel of Aliens, which earned $403 million at the global box office. Theron supplements her movie money with high-paid endorsements for brands like Dior. She’s now adding behind-the-scenes duties to her resume, executive producing a Hatfields & McCoys pilot for NBC.
$14 Million
Sandra Bullock: After taking some time out of the spot light, Bullock is back with The Heat and Gravity. It will be tough for her to live up to 2009 though, when The Blind Side earned $309 million on a budget of $30 million and Bullock won an Oscar for Best Actress. But Bullock is still almost universally beloved. She’s one of the few celebrities to get a perfect 100 E-Score from our partners at E-Poll Market Research, which makes her one of the most marketable celebrities around. Bullock earnings are estimated to be about $14 million.
$14 Million
Natalie Portman: The Oscar winner is no stranger to big blockbuster movies. She played a huge role in the newer Star Wars films. Now, with Thor, she’s found another franchise she can profit from. The second movie hits theaters in November and sees Portman’s character travelling to Thor’s planet. Portman’s estimated earnings are around $14 million.
$11 Million
Mila Kunis: Kunis debuts on our list this year thanks to two huge films. Ted and OZ: The Great and Powerful earned a combined $1 billion at the global box office. Kunis, who got her start on That ’70s Show in 1998, is now firmly established as one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. Expect her quote, which is currently modest by Hollywood standards, to climb accordingly. Despite her busy movie schedule she still finds time to voice Meg on Family Guy. Kunis estimated earnings are $11 million.
$11 Million
Julia Roberts: Roberts isn’t the hit maker she used to be. Instead the actress is picking and choosing the films she wants to make like the in August: Osage County, which co-stars Meryl Streep. Roberts also gets paid for her endorsement work with Lancome. Roberts has been named Hollywood’s 10th highest-paid actress by Forbes magazine, with an estimated $11 million in earnings.
