Let’s analyse Aniston’s money.
1) She got 1M per episode for friends. It’s 12 episodes per year. Friends ran for 10 or 12 years. But this 1M per episode happened only in the last few seasons. Therefore, this accumulation of 110M is not from TV friends.
2) Next, look at her movies. Think how much she made. She is NOT big name star like Julia Roberts. Therefore this accumulation of 110M is not from movies making.
3) Does she come from a rich family. Her parents were divorced. She was doing odds and ends job before becoming famous. Therefore, she did not get this 110M from family.
4) You may say Aniston accumulated her wealth from movies and TV friends combined . But if you look at Courtney, who is very similar to Aniston. She also get the same pay as Aniston. Courtney also did movies. But Courtney’s name is not in this Forbes list.
Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that Aniston obtained the bulk of her wealth through a divorce settlement.
.Oh, Aniston does NOT donate any money considering she is this RICH
Don’t be shallow LOL
Coming from Jolie cultists who constantly talk about her looks and Brad’s.
I already said money isn’t everything, but it’s what the article is about and you Jolie worshipers seem to have one track minds and can’t stick to the subject.
Do you guys realize what a joke this site is? That’s how I found out about it people talking about how scary crazy Jolie fans here are.
I don’t have anymore time for you pitiful obsessives or this site.
Just keep up your mantra
JOLIE IS GOOD
ANISTON IS EVIL
Well, i just wanted to say that, I believe in sharing your money, but I also believe that if you made the money you can do what you want with it. I also see so many of you saying how someone couldn’t make that much money. As an actor I know, it’s all about contracts. Jennifer Anniston (like the rest of the “Friends”) was making 1 mil an episode, and that was then, they still make money in residuals for show in syndication. I mean look at it this way, the (forgotten) Spice Girls still make an average of 2.5mil a year in residuals from thier splash into music as a group. So remember, it’s not about how often you see them or any of that it’s all about what pot their hand are in.
Madonna is worth so much cause of her record company for instance. Either way, YOU GO GIRLS!
All yCou have to do is look at Courtney Cox. She should be in the same boat as Aniston. Yet her name is NOT listed.
Dont tell me she is married and her money is shared with her husband. Look at that list again. Madonna is also married. Madonna is on the list.
Remember all the cast got 1M per episode of friends in the last few seasons. So Courtney got the same money on friends.
Courtney also made movies. Do a search.
Dont deny it. Jen Aniston got the bulk of her money through her divorce
Aaliyah,
Are you kidding me not everyone has moved on especially the Maniston fans, friends and Maniston her self.
Maniston is so NOT WORTH THE CASH OR BEING ON THIS LIST.
Aniston will be OFF the list if it’s not because of his marriage to Brad Pitt .
Use common sense, compare Courtney to Aniston. Dont lie.
Yes she rented out her house while she rented an expensive Malibu cottage from the Oracle exec, who owns most of the beach. She also does ads just like Cox and many other actresses who are NOT on this list.
If you don’t like this site why come here, it is obvious that once again her team is out to keep her “powerful” status in front of the media. This is the same rag that had her #1 powerhouse a few years ago, what happened? I wonder if this is really an accurate list as many people would not appreciate Forbes exposing their personal data. I imagine that like legs survey she willingly gives up her info.
NET WORTH WAS TALLIED BEFORE CHARITABLE DONATIONS!
JOLIE STILL WOULDN’T HAVE MADE THE LIST BEFORE DONATIONS!
TRY TO WRAP YOUR MINDS AROUND THAT PLEASE

go screw yourself
Wow, that was quite a comment Cloaca, I mean Cliniqua. :D
Does it seem strange or unfortunate to anyone else that the 20 richest women in the world are all in the entertainment industry? Granted, Oprah and Martha Stewart have diversified businesses, but nevertheless their business is still to sell their respective entertainment brands. Where are our investment bankers, CEOs, oil mavens? I’m not surprised…but I’m still disappointed.
If I was as rich as Maniston , I would slow down have kid and family while married to Brad in all those 4 1/2 yrs.
FOR GOD SAKES. WHY IS THIS TURNING INTO A BAMZS POST.
Enough already!!! If you want other people to donate then please state so but you do no have to being up Angelina Jolie’s name nor should you compare them to her.
Meg, this list isn’t the “20 Richest Women in the World,” this is the “Top 20 RIchest Women in Entertainment.”
What about Lisa Kudrow????
What about Courtney ?
Every cast member got the same 1M per episode during the LAST FEW seasons. They did NOT get this 1M at the very FIRST season. Use common sense.
It’s easier to justify Chin’s actions by dragging Angelina into the mix. Then they can bash the site as a fansite for Angelina and take the spotlight off the real problem, another fake ranking for Cheapo Chinnifer.
You see lylian, these are the persons who you admire and esteem, the persons with which share a passion, of the interests, the ability to make of the good and wanting well to the next one. The persons who foretell that in the life can herself be always changed and that to all it must give a possibility, here what are and like in reality they think the BAMZS and the Brangelina fans. Here who you are really, false and hypocritical persons.
Nicole Kidman is definitely more than that. I think she got 70+ million from TC after the divorce. and she was quite successful after the divorce.
all those people on the list, and people can only talk about angelina jolie, and she isnt even on the list. chinnifer sucks, good. she isnt on angelina’s level, so stop talking about the two already. i wish you people would get off angelina’s D*CK. please.
I believe that Jolie will never reveal how much she makes. It is obvious that she only talks about giving 2/3 of her salary to the needy. That is enough for her. She never had and never will reveal how much she makes. However, I am sure that without her charity, her bank account will be wayyy huge.
Stupid posts from irrational (and unintelligent) fans again. They just can’t leave AJ and BP out of any discussion on this JJ site. It’s not enough just to think about them every time they see something on the site. They have to put their pettiness into words and spread it in public. I’m not a JA’s fan, but apparently they are all jealous of her because you don’t see them bad mouth any other woman that had ever had relationship with BP, because none of them are publicized as much as JA is now.
It’d be interesting to see how these same fans would react, , if it were ever to happen that BP and AJ’s relationship became less a union than it is now. Wonder what they’d have to say about either BP or AJ.
Maniston has been lying and manipulating the media and YOU for
almosst two years. She needs to pay for it! She’s been GRASPING
for “sympathy” and attention - there are NO “secret” charities for
her…And, in the process, she’s done so much damage to Angelina
Jolie! What a rotten person! Maniston is GREEDY&STINGY, and all
the worst anyone can think of. WHY do some of the US REDNECKS
still like her?? Give me one real reason!
What did Brad&Angie really do?! Fell in love?! God! Everyone knows
by now that his CHILDLESS& FRUITLESS “EXPERIMENTAL MERGER”
was kaput anyways. I am glad that they just live their lives with
their children, loving each other and doing good.
