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.”
