Nicole Kidman = Highest Paid Actress

Nicole Kidman = Highest Paid Actress

Nicole Kidman sure had something to smile about at a press conference in Geneva earlier today. She topped The Hollywood Reporter’s Female Hollywood Rich List, fetching 17 million dollars per movie. Nicole beat out last year’s top money-maker, Reese Witherspoon.

$15 million for each film = Renee Zellweger, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz placing third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Rounding out the top 10 are Halle Berry ($14 million), Charlize Theron ($10 million), Angelina Jolie ($10 million), Kirsten Dunst ($8 - $10 million) and Jennifer Aniston ($8 million).

^^^^^^^^Fug Face, you are right: #10 spot should be filled with either Meryl Streep or Julia or anyone for God’s sake, fill it with the girl from Blossom or the drugged out little sister from Full House.ANYBODY but no talent one note “X” bad sitcom actress with neverending pity party.

Please! What an insult to actresses choosing “X” bad sitcom actress as #10.

Yes #10 should be changed. There are other notable actresses that should take that spot, and I’m very surprised Aniston made more than them.

I love Nicole Kidman. She’s an outstanding actress. And I’m so impress that she is very selective in her roles and her roles demand a well rounded actress. She is this and more. She is one of the most diversified actress in Hollywood and I’m glad she is recognized for her hard work. I wish her well in future endeavors and in her personal life.
I’d like to see Cherlize Theron move up in the ranks. Not only is she gorgeous, but very talented. She can carry a movie on her own, even wearing prosthetics.
I’m suprised Halle Berry ranked higher, I guess Halle has all the marketing deals from makeup etc.
Not surprised with the other ranking. Talented women.
I do like Julianna Moore, Kate Winslet.

Could you see Maniston doing any of the movie roles Nicole or any of the other actresses on the list? OMG, it would be hilarious cause she would SUCK SO BAD! But her movie roles could have been done by anyone out there EVEN AN UNKNOWN actress and probably made more money at the box office!

You are the best Nicole!!!! love ya 4ever!!!!! you’re my star!!! you go Nicky!!! :))

Nicole’s BOOTY deserves all the credit.

JA get 8 million per film? by playing Rachel in every film, she get 8 million buck ? NOT FAIR. Jodie Foster and Meryl Streep , the much talented actress and who can carried a film are getting less than JA. that much be some kind of a Joke .

here is an other link who had a different numbers and said that for example
charlze theron 13 million dollars
angelina jolie 13 million dollars

That mag. seems to be an Aussie mag. so its’ quoted in Australian dollar not US$.

Aniston in top 10?!
only talent she has are her two hard nipples….
what a joke

Fug Face Maniston,
If the rest of your comment was directed at someone else, you should have addressed them. You didn’t, who’s the jackass? And again, your name calling only belittles your comments. Let’s move on please…Waste of time.

WHY IN THE HELL ALL OF THE UGLY ONES GET PAY SO MUCH MONEY , THIS WOMAN ARE REALLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY , THE WORSE LOOKING IS REESE SHE IS SO ******* UGLY WITH THAT BIG CHIN. KIRSTEN DUNTS IS REALLY UGLY TOO , JULIA ROBERTS HAS A HUGE MOUTH SHE IS UGLLY AND OLD AND NICOLE AGGG MAKE ME SICK , THE ONLY GOOD LOOKING ONE IS CHARLIZE TERON AND ANGELINA . OH I ALMOST FORGOT JENNIFER ANISTON IS UGLY AND CAMERON DIAZ , DREW BARRIMORE THE LIST GOES ON .

I do like Drew Barrymore, but I wonder why she made so much, her last mainstream movie was Charlies Angels? Perhaps it’s because she does have a production company and profits from movies made under her business.
Anyways, Nicole is worth every million. Meryl Streep needs more recognition for her talent, so does Julianna Moore, Kate Winslet & I do like Judi Dench. These women have talent.
Halle Berry is beautiful, and she did a wonderful job on Monster Ball, but I think she’s overrated.
And lets refrain from name calling.

From all the name calling directed towards the actresses’ looks, I found two of many conclusions:

1) female: you’re physically stunning, so the actresses pale in comparison to you
2) male: you’ve dated, been surrounded by physically gorgeous woman or dating someone gorgeous that these actresses rate 1 out of 10 from your experience.

They’re all pretty, and a few are drop dead gorgeous. If they weren’t, Hollywood wouldn’t cater to them.

Nicole is deserving but I am not sure what people like Drew Barrymore and Cameroon Diaz are doing on this list. They even get paid more that Halle Berry who actually has an Oscar and they do not? I am confused about that one. Although I have a feeling I know why Halle is not paid the same if not more than those two.

SOME OF THEM ARE GOOD ACTRESS BUT ONCE AGAIN , IM TIRED TO SEE SOMEONE SO UGLY LIKE RESSE ON THE MOVIES , IM SURE RYAN WAS TIRED TO SEE HER UGLY FACE EVERY NIGHT , I THINK SHE IS REALLY REALLY UGLY LIKE JENNIFER , JULIA , NICOLE, CAMERON PEPPERONIFACE, RENE, DREW

Nicole deservs all money she wins, she is the best actress working today!

And look at those pictures, seh is so beautiful!

I’m not understaning why actress like Drew or Cameron are doing in this rank!They can’t act!!!!

I think Nicole is ok in the first place, love her and she is the most beautiful actress!

Now she is in the correct position, the first place.
Go, Nic.

nicole is the most beautiful actress in the world.she deservs all the money that she wins.love you nicole.

Guaranteed that physical appearances can play a part in how successful an actress is, its ridiculous that people are basing their opinions on who they consider as “hot.” This list is meant to be based on acting ability along with other factors. Usually I don’t do this but … “JOEY” I think you should get a life.

Kirsten Dunst has been in many high ranking movies since shes been a child, the girl has talent

Why are you people supporting Angelina, she ruined someone’s marriage!

Many Americans think Kidman don’t deserve this because they’re only thinking movies sold in one country — America. People, how much a studio would pay an actress doesn’t depend on how much the actor appeal in American — there’s the REST OF THE WORLD full of people willing to spend money on an actor. That’s why a studio would pay Kidman a lot of money, not just how much money the movie will make in America, but Internationally. And no matter how she does here in the US, she is a mega-hit when it comes to International market.

Having said that, I’m glad she got paid a lot for one money — coz it’ll let her work on indie movies that usually don’t pay a whole lot like “Dogville”, “Fur”, etc.

Meow,
People support Angelina because they are obsessed with her beauty. The fact that she hooked up with Brad Pitt, who is also beautiful, made it worse. If they were ugly, people wouldn’t care about them. They hate Jennifer Aniston because our society loves to watch celebrities get humiliated and go down in flames. It makes them feel better about their own lives. Why do you think people are so obsessed with reality tv?

Nicole Kidman deserves every penny they give her. In fact, every woman in hollywood deserves the bick bucks they give them becasue it probably isn’t a drop in the bucker what they give the men.

However, I will say that Nicole is the only one on the list who truly morphes into EACH and every character she plays. When you watch her on film you forget about Nicole Kidman the movie star because she always gives a great performance, whether it be an action film, light/dark comedy, or even horror.

She is one of the few actors in hollywood who is a star not because she’s beautiful, but because she has REAL talent.
