BRITNEY SPEARS. OOOOOOOOOOOOPS SHE DID IT.
You people are soo pathetic! Get lives please.. we understand you worship Angelina, but do you have to constantly dog Jennifer? Please just get over yourselves. I think you all are ugly people just for judging someone you don’t even know! By the way.. Jennifer supports many causes including St. Jude’s Childrens Research Hospital. That is her main cause..
WTF?! If you notice, these women aren’t extremely old, and if you were to combine Meryl STreep’s total earnings there wouldn’t be 20 women there would only be one, and even if she isn’t as rich as Oprah, at least she’s down to earth and not all over the place. She has common sense and doesn’t do stupid things unlike every person on this list, what about the smartest women in show buisness, becasue Meryl would take top spot for that, wouldn’t she..?!
well, Nicole Kidman IS ambassador to the UN and is part of 5 donations clubs. being the top paid actress for a total of three years and being paid 3.5 million per second on the Chanel Ads, she’s made history, she should be in the top 10 at least.
Why should Jennifer (use her proper name you disrespectful ignorant people) give to charity? Its her money, she earnt it, she can do what the bloody hell she likes with it. The same goes for everyone no matter how much money the individual has and gives to charity. I dont give to charity - do any of you want to start ‘hating’ me because I dont. I am sure if any of you happened to get a substantial amount of money you wouldnt want to be hated just because you didnt do something that someone thought you should do with it. Its an individuals choice and you should let people live how they want to live as long as it not hurting anyone. You are the shallow ones - with remarks like ‘maniston’ I think that maybe you were school bullies and nasty, nasty people. All that hate - there is no space left for any compasion, love, respect and understanding. no wonder the worlds in the state its in. I hope none of you inflict your views on your poor poor children, if you have any. If not please please dont. they dont deserve it.

They have the money to burn, they earn it, well, easily or difficultly we dont know. They have the fame, they have the jet-set life, they have their problems, they have to live as people’s images. So, why being philantrophic? They donate, I believe in a way. It’s their money, they can spend whatever they want. They can even crush the gold bar and tanned themselves using it (mariah carey), or they can crush the diamond and use it for their eyelashes (madonna)..hell, they have the money. If we want this kind of lifestyle too, make as much as they do
Anyway, Giselle Bundchen makes more than that!!
Cliniqua, you tell it straight but one thing you gotta remember is that Friend’s ain’t no lame a s s show. Friends is the biggest hit on TV. Have you ever heard of anybody being paid a million per episode of Friends? Well since they did plenty of episodes, no wonder she’s kneehigh in money!
I’m an Angelina-basher, so I ain’t gonna hold back. Angelina made what two three blockbusters in her life? Jennifer Aniston was part of a TV show that was hot and internationally loved for 10 years straight. And lets not forget The Break-Up. Granted, it was crap but it still remained box office tops for a week or two.
Jennifer Aniston does rake in money from the Company. But that’s not her main income. She doesnt’ live off divorce money. And anyways Jennifer Aniston was just as hot and rich as Brad was. And she still was throughout the marriage. The money is pretty much equal.
Angelina goes helicoptering all the time. That wastes a lot of money. And how much money do they spend on baby food and diapers? I’m a bit celebrity gossip hog but I’ve never actually heard of Angelina donating millions to help charity. We all appreciate that she takes time to go to Africa and say hey hey hey hello to the malnourished kiddies who need that lovin’. But truth is Oprah donates more than her! And a truly pure hearted person would not turn down an offer to help a school to help poor African girls with Oprah. Oprah OFFERED HER THE CHANCE but she turned it down. Why? The only reason apparent why a person who loves helping Africa so much like Angelina would turn it down is because Oprah interviewed Aniston after the split and it seemed like she was on Team Aniston. But hey! Its Jolie’s fault she turned down the offer to tell her side of the story to make things fair and equal.
Are you saying that she got the Along Came Polly role because Brad was her husband? Brad wasn’t that hot back then, ok? He didn’t make really incredible movies that wowed people. It was Aniston who kept Friends going along. And I know I’m yakking on Friends but it is the most extraodinary entertainment feat ever!!!
IT IS NOT A CELEBRITY’S JOB TO MAKE AWARENESS IDIOT. Aniston is not hired to tell reporters she gave money to the kids in Africa. It is not her job to adopt half of Johannesburg. It is not her job to raise awareness! It is her job to provide entertainment for us. Her career is making movies and shows. She is not paid so she can give money out publicly. Not every celebrity needs to flash their cards at everybody to show everybody “I’m Donating. LOOK AT ME! LOVE ME! BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?!?! I’M A DONATING HO E BAG! I DONATE ALL THE TIME! SO LOVE ME! NOW YOU CAN LOVE ME! EVEN THOUGH I WRECKED A HOME, FRENCHED MY BROTHER, AND LIKES TO WEAR BLOOD ON MY CLOTHES OR AS ACCESSORIES!!” that’s a publicity *****. angelina is a publicity *****.
so concludes my point.
and Cliniqua? Your point about charity VS French tips? Jennifer Aniston keeps more to herself than ever. How much money do you think Angelina wastes on helicopters instead of helping children? How much money do you think Angelina wastes on clothes and hairstyles for her Maddox instead of improving the living conditions in Africa? How much money do you think she uses to get the all new, everybody loves to have one tattoo instead of donating to give Africans a roof to live under? YOU TELL ME.
For sure most of anistons money was from the divorce specifically Plan B production!!!
I saw all of the comments about Angekina and Aniston, but i do think that Madonna has changed and done some good. Despite all the crap shes gotten about adopting david, and trying to help out i think she is making something out of that 325 million…..!!!! : )
Wow! I always knew Oprah was rich but wow! number 1 that is a lot of money!!! I really get what everyone is talking about when Britney is doing all this crazy stuff for money! She’s making more than ellen I mean comon’!
Folks do some freaking research, Aniston in her some 10 years on friends profited over 70 million. And when they use the word net, that means everything, all the real estate and various investments not just what they have in the bank. And yes Aniston had and has more money then Pitt SO SHE GOT NOTHING.
Judge Judy has that much money through investments in real estate, she was worth that before she started her show.
Jennifer was worth much more before she was with Brad..She is part of the friend’s cast. Do you know how much she was paid per episode? Close to 1million..

please dont envy rich folk.a lot of luck & hard work went into where they are today..besides its noble of them to give to charities..it isnt going to make one difference to the …because the worlds poor wont stop having lots of kids…the mens pride wont let them get a vasectomy after having two kids…well I say the big fellow upstairs has stepped in & the world has aids,malaria,influenza& cholera ..not to mention starvation from droughts..
