People: Angelina Jolie competing with Jennifer Aniston for the title of highest paid actress
Between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, nothing is going well. Jennifer loves Brad? Angie loves Brad too, she even gives him a whole lot of kids. Jennifer is a hit at the box office? Angie has a series of films and even gets the place of the best paid actress. Don't let Jen get you down!
Forbes annually delivers its list of Hollywood's Highest-Paid Actresses through a combination of film attendance fees and incentives received on ticket, DVD and Blu-Ray sales. The magazine also observes the income from advertising partnerships of stars and their royalties.
Already at the head of the most powerful celebrities, Angelina Jolie also turns out to be the highest paid actress in Hollywood. From June 2008 to June 2009, the companion of Brad Pitt received $ 27 million largely thanks to the success of the film Wanted: choose your destiny as well as for its engagement in the thriller Salt.
Jennifer Aniston moved to second place with $ 25 million. The actress took advantage of her appearance in the romantic comedy Marley and Me. According to Forbes, the other part of his income comes from royalties on the Friends series, which is still being broadcast around the world, as well as a lucrative advertising contract to promote SmartWater mineral water.
Most Oscar nominated actress, Meryl Streep is third with $ 24 million.
Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker is in fourth place with $ 23 million.
First last year with $ 50 million, Cameron Diaz becomes fifth with $ 20 million. Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon share the sixth position with 15 million. Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore follow with 12 million each. Renee Zellweger closes the top 10 with her $ 10 million.
Again, actresses find themselves worse off than their male counterparts. Harrison Ford was the highest paid actor over the same period (June 2008 to June 2009) with $ 65 million collected. By merging the two tables, Angelina Jolie would point to tenth place tied with Johnny Depp.
For the year 2009, I'm taking the bets on Jennifer Aniston as the highest paid actress of the year.
Angelina Jolie had better watch out, Jennifer Aniston will lead the box office by the nose in the months to come!
