Angelina Is Highest Paid Actress

With the all child rearing and world saving, sometimes it’s easy to forget that Angelina Jolie is an actress, and the most expensive one at that. The mother of six came in atop The Hollywood Reporter’s annual lost of highest-earning actresses, thanks largely in part to the $15 million she made for Wanted and the $20 million she’s expected to receive for the sequel. Julia Roberts, a veteran of the list who’s making more than $15 million for next year’s Duplicity, came in behind Jolie. And last year’s highest earning actress, Reese Witherspoon, was third for the $14 million she made for goofy holiday comedy Four Christmases. High though they may be, the top salaries for actresses are dwarfed by the $25 million per movie that Will Smith makes and the $15-$20 million that Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp command.
