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.

WELL SAID!!!! BRAVO ! BRAVO ! BRAVO ! BRAVO ! BRAVO !
She was also part of plan B when Troy was make. Troy was a blockbuster worldwide.
i dont believe that list. maniston doesnt make that much
Aniston doing charity privately ? and her great PR guru or her close friend won’t leaked it to the tabloids? eat your ass , man ! only the dumbass believe it !!!
I absolutely agree with the last past. The power of a donated sum of money is not just the money itself but the act of giving is inspiring to others. Especially if it is a celebrity donating - the effect of the donation will go far beyond the actual amount of money. In today’s celebrity and idol obsessed world, whether we like it or not, people tend to look up to celebrities and use them as role models. People do what the celebrities do, wear what the celebrities wear and so on!
How many people had heard of the South Africa problems and Namibia if not for Oprah and Angelina and Brad. And how many people would have donated to Oprah’s Angel network that helps people with AIDS, had Oprah made a secret private donation to a South African charity!
So you see - I have no problem with a celebrity getting publicity for an act like that if it means more exposure for the charities as well. The only people that complain about celebrities getting publicity are those who dislike people more successfull than themselves!
CLINIQUA, I’m just loving your rant - it rings sooo true…
Jenn doesnt need publicity for her charity..You people just doesnt like Jolie is not on the list. Kepp angelina with her “lovely family”…
Are my eyes deceiving me? Can someone please explain to me how in the bloody he!l Jennifer Aniston is worth that much? She barely works. The actresses, entertainers, singers on the list (well, at least some of them!) have other businesses (parfum or/and clothing lines, magazines, books, etc.) to build their wealth. How did Jennifer A. get that rich?
That list doesn’t sound right anyway. I thought Mary Kate and Ashley were worth over $100 million EACH?
Maniston was worth 110 Million. Then what is this never ending pity-party all about ?
She and Huvane were really milking the divorce for their own greedy self.
JA did not get money from Pitt. They had a Prenup. She only got money from the Houses. Plus she made tons of money when the show went into syndication. They all get a certain amount of money every time the show comes on (I bet they make over $200,000 per episode, that adds up since it is on like 10 times a day). The last year of Friends they all made $24 million. Sure she did run PlanB but she was an equal in the company. But yeah she didn’t get any money from him in the divorce. If you go and look at the papers she is the one who wrote “no spousal support”.
I ment …Sure BP ran PlanB with BG but she was an equal in the company…..Sorry. Got a head of myself.
Sorry Katie, you are delusional. All reports said they didn’t have a prenup and if she made her money on the Friends series then her costars would be listed too. She made the extra on the Pitt name. She didn’t run Plan B, if she was so damn good at running a production company we would be hearing about her flaming success today. Take off the rose colored glasses.

GREAT POST !!! always love your post !
How the hell does this turn into a Jolile post?
Only you loons here could do that.
This is the methodology right from the Forbes article.
Methodology: Net worth estimates were arrived at by tallying the total earnings, including salaries, record sales, tours, merchandising and royalties over the course of a career. When relevant, we included real estate holdings, shares and other assets. A conservative rate of return was applied, less taxes and agent fees. The list is limited to those female celebrities active in their professional lives.
This is BEORE giving to charity.
sounds like Jolie fans are little jealous that Jen can buy and sell their idol.
oh and Leminie to answer your question on to how many houses can these people live in at once why don’t you ask the Jolie-Pitts. They have 4…so far.
I think Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were worth more than that.

Money is not everything. Sometimes humanity should prevail. Obviously, money is not making people happy otherwise we would not be assaulted with a pity party year after year. At the end of the day, money does not buy love or happiness. Jealousy is so over used by people who do not think outside the box or of a boarder world. Spread the wealth. It certainly won’t break you and may make you a better person.
boomstick,
Have Maniston buy her self a good boob. She can’t even do that let alone buy AJ.
You must be in another world like you Maniston
she also made alot of advertisements and has properties she rents out and has for charities you don’t need to go far if you all are so damn interested and think she sleeps and wakes up and does not give a damn what happens around her go on google type her name/charities supported and they will come up i am not begging you but i guess if you are going to acuse someone for not giving you should have a base for that Or don’t you and trust me when i say this she comes from a family were she knows what it feels like not to have anyone support yu and she also has someone close to her whom was adopted i am sure she gives a whole lot more that you all could imagine and also i and long before it became this popular.
Eh you all asked for it then you have all got it i really hate !hate when people talk without not knowing what they hell they are talking about and some of you sure don’t or you know but never want to say anything good about her which is so sad it really is and it shows how cautious you all are never to paint her in a good light even when you are lying ballantly . bye you all and keep on rambling it really is becoming kind of old don’t you think so just kidding i know i am just deluding myself that will never happen and i am sure one or all of you are going to come up with a whole lot more it is what you guys do best.
And by the way jen is not worth that much nearly that but not as much and she now has her own production company
to this is crazy,
You sound like a fan of Jen and do not be ashamed of it! Say it and we still listen to you. I am tired of some of the fans of Jen are starting their comments by saying that they are neither a fan of Jen nor Angelina. Whom are you fooling, for God’s sake? We are not stupid like you!
Angelina’s real fortune is her children with Brad Pitt and the love of her life who is Brad Pitt. They are healthy, happy and together. The money can never buy these valueable people of Angie’s life. On top of it, Angie is respected by serious, respected and important people on this world. So what have we been talking about?
I could care less about Jolie or Ansiton, but the growing reputation of this board as some sort of Jolie worshiping cult made me check the comments out of curiosity.
I knew you guys would be going nuts because Ansiton made the list and Jolie did not. You are quite predictable.
No money is not everything, but it’s what the article is about so deal with it.

This is Crazy Says:
You know, I hear people saying that Aniston gives money to charity, but she does it in private?? Well if it is in private, then how do YOU know that she gives this money to charity? It must not be so private after all… or it might be an “urban legend”
What is up with ye?? nothing to do with Angelina, she is not on the list.
with Friends/movies/Adverts & Plan B why wouldnt she be worth big money!
I think all ye so called Brad fans need to remember that he did marry Jen (didnt work out, everyone has moved on and all that) did ye not like him and support him when he was married to her???

Don’t be so shallow . Money is not everything. I wonder if Maniston was happy with that 110 million . living in her 15 million dollar mansion sharing her vast wealth with her 2 dogs.
