yeah!are they usefull in the country?not even the industry!exept for a couple….
This is absolutely rediculious. Jennifer Aniston makes more money than Nicole Kidman and the rest of the talented people on this list.
She should be thankful for the divorce money from Brad urgly Maniston.
so angelina is not one of the richest……ok ok hehe..shes with the pretty pitt!..and oh she gives a third of her pay check to the unfortunate!
I wonder how much Angelina is worth. She gives all her money to charity what a wonderful soul.
Anyone know how much Brad and Angelina are worth?
These women should be giving much of their income to charity. Most of them are without children what a waste of beauty, cash and nature.
14 out of 20 are without children. Ladies who are you keeping your money for? You are not going to take it with you six feet under.
Make that 13 out of 20.
I hear Maniston wants to adopt a child.
Poor kid, she should just stick to television actiing.
jolie is charitable woman but she isn’t rich
and maniston I hate her!
How lucky of them! So why do the most of them look so miserable in their lives?
What exactly does net worth mean? Simply everything they ever earned added up minus taxes? I mean how would anyone know how much they have spend of what they earned?
I sure believe Oprah is the richest but some of the other names on the list seem suspicious. How did Jennifer Aniston get this much money? More than Sandra Bullock who’s been in the industry much longer, more successful and even produced some of her huge boxoffice hits? And Judge Judy made 95 mill????
It just goes to show that all that pity that some people get is wasted. These people are not the girls next door. One in particular is a multi millionaire who knows how to spin PR and play on the public sympathy. Other than a few women on the list, to bad this list does not also include their charitable contributions.
***
Every Charitable person is not and will never be rich that is why they have a beautiful soul because as you know when you become rich that is all you are concern about the green paper but helping people is a whole lot better and fulfilling than being rich.
So Angelina is getting blessed for every life and situation she help change and I can’t tell you how wonderful that is and blessed.
Aren’t the Olsen twins 20 year old?
moahaha,
Jennifer Aniston got her money from Brad Pitt. She does seek sympathy from the public who are a little dump by her I miss Brad so much but did not shed one single tear. Every woman knows that crying helps us cope and release some tension. If Maniston hasn’t cried or shed one tear men she is in some place out of this world and if I was Brad I’ll be very careful with the Man.
I think Jennifer Aniston got money from Friends too, I mean they used to be paid 1 million per episode
Ummm this has to be old… BRIT BRIT IS ONLY WORTH 35 MILLION
I f Jennifer Aniston got money from friends,how about CC?
OH , c’mon miz Aniston. With all the money you got , all you did was a fake hug with a sick child and a face on tv. You can do better than that.!!!
All of you are absolutely ridiculous. I am not an Aniston fan nor do I like Jolie but you are all crazy. Angelina must not be here because she donates. WRONG!!! Net Worth is money that I have in the bank right now after my donations, after my taxes, it is my assets.
I’m sure Angelina is a great person but because you hear about her charity in the paper doesn’t mean jack. Oprah donates almost 100 million a year. Jennifer Aniston donates (go out and actually do some research - she keeps it private.) As do the Olsens and many of the people on that list. For some people who they donate to is their private business, neither person is wrong or right.
Jen has money from friends, the last 2 years she made almost 50 million from friends and for every re-run she gets almost 150,000 so I think she has money. She also has more than CC because she does movies and Cox’s money is now bracketed with her husband, they took the same last name. Her divorce with Brad did not get her money because she was actually worth more money (all because of Friends).
In conclusion, you know absolutely nothing about these people and it’s quite sad that many of you feel like you do. Angelina doesn’t care for you and neither does Brad all they need you to do is go to their movies but after you put your money in their pocket. You are worthless to them
All that money on this list! What the hell are they doing with it? How many houses can one person honestly live in at a time??
I wish that everyone could follow in the philanthropic footsteps of people like the Gates’, Warren Buffett, the Jolie-Pitt’s and Oprah. So many people out there with NOTHING! Could you imagine what a pin drop fraction of the money on this list could mean to less fortunate people who are struggling to even eat every day.
I sometimes wonder, as they are sitting in their $15 mill homes, if they have any idea what it is to look at a child who goes to school every morning and you have to wonder when the last time was that they ate. Or to know that 3/4 of the children in 3rd world countries have NO IDEA what shoes are.
After seeing this “Top 20 Richest Women in Entertainment”. I admire Angelina more. aside from Oprah, how many of them did ever donate money as much as Jolie ?

=========
Even Oprah donates more money PRIVATELY than she ever does PUBLICLY.
Some people just don’t need a press conference every time they write a check.
Rock on Sistahs!
OMG. How is this post becoming an angelina post? STOP IT. You are all pathetic. Before you post about what these women do for charities, etc. Have you ever really researched what Celine Dion or Martha Stewart do for charity? What about the Olson twins?
Seriously. Let it the F8ck go. Why are you not raking Julia Roberts over the coals…why JA only?
by the way though, shocked to see Judge Judy on there. Who knew people’s court could be worth that.
MUAHAHAHAHA!!
I *LOVE* this list.
It shows just how selfish, vain and undeserving Maniston is. It also shows why STEPHEN HUVANE ignores all other CLIENTS on his list of people to wh*re for. Sorry Gwynnie poo. Sorry Kirsten Dunst. Maniston’s on line 2. Keep your Oscars, and you SAG noms. TV sit-com hack, takes precedence. Hey…that money goes through a LOT of mani-pedis PEOPLE!!!! LOLOL Why donate to those less fortunate than yourself when the new and improved versailles ‘French Tip,’ is all the rage. It’s also obvious that she can BUY her own famewh*ring coattail riding coverage.
Angelina is to be admired even MORE after seeing this list.
…and PUH-LEEZE. Most of those r*ch b*tches just keep the dough to themselves, ESPECIALLY that coattail riding famewh*re CHINNIFER MANISTON!!
*(btw, you want to know where MANISTON GOT the BULK of money THAT PUT HER IN THE TOP, and why BOTOX COX and KUDROW aren’t on this list WITH HER….it’s because when she was WITH BRAD PITT, he was generous enough of a husband to include her in PLAN B, HIS PRODUCTION COMPANY…they produced, among other things - CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (HELLO??!!)….Plan B, was not Maniston’s idea, nor her baby at any point in time - she was a partner IN NAME ONLY - BRAD pulled her in, because he was with her at the time, and initially it was thought that her lame TV SIT-COM HACK A S S could MAYBE get the FILM ROLES that she OTHERWISE COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ON HER OWN, without BRAD PITT she’s just a blonder version of PATRICIA HEATON on Everybody Loves Raymond.) So once again, and in all things she can thank BRAD PITT for why we have to be assaulted with her fug face and her big ol’ moneybags in the way of her bought covers courtesy of Huvane. It’s poetic she is wedged in there with the OLSEN TWINS and Judge Judy. Proof that money cannot buy you status in your field. HAHAHAHA! ALL THAT MONEY and her MOM GOES To the INDIGENT CARE WARD in L.A.?!! What an evil b*tch! WHY DOESN’T *THAT* make the TABLOIDS in a BIG WAY…if Angelina did that, she’d be drummed out of America!
…..and PUH-LEEZE don’t tell me about this one, or that one donating and ‘keeping it quiet,’ first of all - as a celebrity, you have an OBLIGATION to make people AWARE, so that on top of your charitable giving, you MIGHT inspire others to either do the same, or at the very LEAST be aware of a situation (be it disease, famine, the impoverished or disadvantaged!) - no CELEBRITY ’silently and quietly’ donates to issue of import. If they do it ‘quietly’ it’s only because they are CHEAP and they KNOW they could be doing MORE! Besides, Maniston was asked POINT BLANK to HER FACE if she donated, and she responded, ‘I only concentrate on my tabloid career,’ half-serious IMO, and later said, ‘Charity is not ‘my thing.’ She’s just….AWFUL. UGH.
Who knows, maybe this will inspire some of those RB’s to spread the wealth.
For this post alone is why I love Cliniqua. Tell it sister. The woman would be off the lists if it wasn’t for being Mrs. B. Pitt.
Private charity donating my fuzzy butt.
