Kristen Stewart tops Forbes list of highest paid actresses

Forbes.com
compiled the list and estimated salaries by talking to agents, managers and
lawyers and based earnings on pay, profits, residuals, endorsements and
advertising work.

Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, who largely took a break from filming after
2009’s “The Blind Side”, came third with $25 million.

Jolie, who topped last year’s list along with Sarah Jessica Parker, dropped to
the fourth spot with earnings of $20 million while Charlize Theron,
Stewart’s co-star in “Snow White and the Huntsman” who also appears in
“Prometheus”, trailed at $18 million, and rounded out the top five places.

Parker, whose 2011 film “I Don’t Know How She Does It” brought in a
disappointing $30 million at the worldwide box office, slipped to seventh
place with a $15 million salary.

“She is almost earning more from her perfume and endorsement deals right now
than from entertainment. That is true of a lot of women. They have these
outside deals that are very lucrative. Angelina Jolie earns a lot from
residuals, as does Sarah Jessica Parker,” Pomerantz said.

Former “Friends” star Jennifer Anniston just made the list, earning an $11
million salary.

The top 10 actresses earned a total of $200 million, according to Forbes.com,
a lot less than the $361 million total that the 10 highest-earning men made.

“It is nowhere near what men are making,” Pomerantz said. “I think it will be
a while until women see salary parity, if it ever happens. Women are paid
less in every industry, not just in Hollywood.”
