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.”

Jen got her wealth thru a DIVO @ 01/18/2007 at 11:47 am

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.

celia,
Maniston will never have a child…….She is fruitless and will remain that way till she falls off this earth.

how Aniston obtained her wealth Says:

===================

Thank you for your explanation.

I find you all really funny this list is so not true how did janet jackson get there she just brought out an album and it did not do well, what do i know? all i know is all our arguments are baseless , and if it is true then good on them i say and if jen got any money from the divorce WHICH I KNOW SHE DIDN’T because remember it depends on how much your husband was worth when you got married and how much he made while you were still married(they never made any agreement and jen did not ask for anthing only her name she wanted back and trust me i rememeber that clearly and if she asked they would still be in the process today like alot of rich divorce settlements) and they were married for only four years she is entitled to virtually nothing i am studying law and i know what i am talking about ALL IN ALL CHARITY HAS TO COME FROM THE HEART AND WE DO NOT OWN THE MONEY AT LEAST THEY PAY THEIR TAXES and that in some way helps many people.

Maniston is just like her BFF the big O FRUITLESS. One day she’ll wake us looking like O and realized let me open a school somewhere and adopt all these kids.

Great well said. But why are you saying it here. This post have nothing to do with either Angelina nor for that matter Jennifer. Please STOP This is exactly the triangle everyone is trying to get out of!!!

this is crazy -
_______________

answer to your response

but you CANT name any charitable organization. Yes, she does advocate for Saint Jude Hospital. But what is it? wearing a T-shirt.? attend fund raising dinner??

Dont tell me this is private business. The fact is, your Jen does NOT donate.

If you said “Cox’s money is now bracketed with her husband, they took the same last name”, well, what about Lisa Kudrow???. She certainly did NOT take her husband’s last name. Kudrow also did movies.

No matter how you spin it, Aniston got the bulk of her wealth though her divorce.

Just use COMMON SENSE.

Think Courtney Cox, Think Lisa Kudrow. All got the same pay. All did movies. Why Courney and Lisa’s names not on the list.

from imdb.com

Angelina Jolie

Salary
The Good Shepherd (2006) $10,000,000
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) $10,000,000
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) $12,000,000
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) $7,000,000

Jennifer Aniston

Salary
Along Came Polly (2004) $5,000,000
Rock Star (2001) $3,000,000
Picture Perfect (1997) $2,000,000

Seriusly do not wish such evil on someone you would regret it, fruitless that is really crossing the boundaries and yet you say you love people whom donate and help how can you that is evil it really is mean and bcos of that i pray jen wold have triplets and a wonderful family and it would happen God do i pray.

Angelina may not be on the list but she does more with less. Why can’t Mary-Kate Olsen give 1/3 of her earnings?

Also, it is o

That Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, and Gisele Bundchen can be some of the highest earning women shows how silly this list is.

Great actors like Helen Mirren, Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett should be earning more that a girl who played Rachel Green for like 7 years. Ridiculous!

Sandra Bullock has not had a hit since God knows when.

Don’t get me started on Angelina Jolie not being on the list then again Angelina is not in the business of making herself into a brand to make money like J-Lo

Rolling my eyes @ 01/18/2007 at 12:11 pm

Err and I ‘m suppose to feel sorry for her? UMMM where is Courtney cox? Why is she always over looked?

How Aniston got her money @ 01/18/2007 at 12:21 pm

This is such a good analysis by Cliniqua

you want to know where MANISTON GOT the BULK of money THAT PUT HER IN THE TOP, and why Courtney 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 ….

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 Jen has 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 ,b>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.

Mediterranean @ 01/18/2007 at 12:28 pm

OK, more or less, it seems that Jen is very rich woman. I hope that she will also find happiness and peace in her life.

I don’t know how much she has but J-Lo isn’t supposed to be richer than Jen?

About these strange looking twins, last time I watched them, they were cute looking kids in Full House. Then what happened and they have become so rich? Anybody can tell me, please?

I think you guys are fighting over something we, as women, should be proud of. Look how far we have come. Could you have imagined 15 or 20 years ago, that females in the entertainment industry could be so powerful and wealthy!?! It’s amazing!

A lot of people are saying these people should be donating their money, my question is how do you know they don’t? I’ve seen adds where JA is the taking to a leukemia patient, and encouraging supportting their research hospital.

I also think we should stop all this cattiness between JA and AJ. They are both beautiful, and strong women. Let them be.

Cliniqua…..have you thought of getting counselling for your obsessions? Off your trolley aren’t you? Why don’t you go and get some evidence to back up your ‘belief’ that your heroin(e) gives loads of dosh to charity? JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS THEY DONATE X AMOUNT OF MONEY TO CHARITY, UNLESS IT’S REGISTERED IT CANNOT BE PROVED EITHER WAY….GEDDIT?

shitstirrer @ 01/18/2007 at 12:37 pm

Sian! Cliniqua is so far up her own **** that she can’t help talking a load of ****.
