Reese, Angelina Lead List of Highest-Paid Actresses

Reese, Angelina Lead List of Highest-Paid Actresses

Reese Witherspoon ranked number one on The Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of the highest-paid actresses. The 31-year-old actress commands $15 million to $20 million a movie.

Angelina Jolie came in second, and Cameron Diaz came in third with a $15 million-per-movie requirement.

While Angelina and Reese are now asking for $15 million-$20 million per movie, they frequently agree to “no-quote deals” — deals in which the studios actually pay them far less than their usual fee (usually when they take on supporting roles).

Here’s The Hollywood Reporter’s top ten list:

1. Reese Witherspoon — $15 million-$20 million
2. Angelina Jolie — $15 million-$20 million
3. Cameron Diaz — $15+ million
4. Nicole Kidman — $10 million-$15 million
5. Renee Zellweger — $10 million-$15 million
6. Sandra Bullock — $10 million-$15 million
7. Julia Roberts — $10 million-$15 million
8. Drew Barrymore — $10 million-$12 million
9. Jodie Foster — $10 million-$12 million
10. Halle Berry — $10 million

Stars climbing up the pay scale include Katherine Heigl, Rachel McAdams and Jennifer Garner. Which other actresses do you think should be on this list?

THE OTHERS ARE OVERRATED BITC****

Congrats to Reese and Angelina for topping the list and to the others who made the list.

Cracks me up, now the argument is these actresses made the list because they have the most powerful publicist. Yeah, than a certain someone should have been there and she’s not. Angelina doesn’t have a publicist. So, that theory has been shot down twice.

And it has nothing to do with talent? Alrighty then, but, it’s these actresses that are the studios go to actresses.

A certain person is making low budget films these days and isn’t getting big paychecks for them. She’s working with first time directors and B/C List co-stars. Not even up and comers. Even her publicist can’t fudge those facts.

But, by all means, her fans, twist yourself up and again try and convince yourself that Angelina’s career is going nowhere quick and she’s done in HW. Everything that has come out, always supports that. Oh, wait, it always supports quite the opposite.

Hi to all BAMPZS fans posting. :D

to # 51 what is FORBES @ 11/30/2007 at 11:03 am
Jennifer Aniston, is the most profitable actress with a gross income return of £8.50.
Angelina Jolie, ranked sixth with £7.50.
“——————————————–
Your numbers are all WRONG !!! You cut and paste and INVENTED those numbers.

Aniston’s ratio is 1:17.
Tom Hank’s ratio is 1:12.
Tom Cruise’s ratio is 1:11.

The Forbes list just means that big stars like Tom Cruise, Will Smith, etc. because of their high salaries actually contrbute less to a film’s profitability, ratio-wise. On the other hand, Aniston contributes more because she is very CHEAP (ratio-wise).

Statistically, it is interpreted as: for every $110 million profits, Tom is being paid $10 million; for every $17 million profits, Aniston is being paid $1 million.
Even Tom has a lower ratio compare to Aniston, I would hire Tom because I can make $110M in profit vs Aniston’s profit of only $17M.

But in the final analysis, Hollywood bosses would prefer Tom over Aniston because $110 million is much greater than $17 million and with Aniston, a profit of $110 million is unlikely but a loss is highly probable.

Hollywood bosses may pay Tom Cruise higher salary because the risks are lower, while they may be hesitant to HIRE Aniston because the risks are greater.

anonymous,

Too funny! And very true. Hah!

Angie is the top in the game, she has range and talent. Way to go Ms. Jolie

Beyonce or jennifer hudson? IDK

Every one has different opinions, so people need to stop been mean to each other, I actually love Reese I think she is really sweet. Angie is good i just havent seen her in a movie for ages as i dont really like the movies shes been doing, as for jennifer aniston i dont know why people are so mean about her, i think shes great as well.

____________________________________________________________

Ok Jennifer Maniston stop hiding behined the screen lol and feel sorry for yourself well guess what Maniston you did not make the list loooooool so stop in a polite way bashing on my Angies it’s not working, she is the best you are nothing next to her nothinggggggggggg.

Ok, gotta comment on a few things:
(a) jared, nice new format! ;)
(b) the jolie-pitts are great humanitarians in the making. first off, angelina is even as we speak, supporting a whole village in Cambodia to reach its potential for self-sustainability; eco-socially and so on. brad is chugging on and reminding people that n.o.l.a. still needs help. just because the storm is over doesn’t mean you don’t have the aftermath to worry about in the long haul. go brad! people should emulate these two individual’s ability to immerse themselves in humanity’s tragedies instead of trying to tear them down because of petty jealousies. whether you like them or not, they are doing good things for other people.
(c) i’m happy to see that angelina is being recognized at the satellite awards… but i was hoping that they would’ve acknowledge AMH more in other categories. A Mighty Heart is one, if not the one, film that has really struck an amazing cord in me this year. And I saw A LOT of films this year. :lol: Haven’t seen TAOJJ yet, but that’s why I think Warner Bros. SUCK!
I hope that other award giving bodies acknowledges AMH more and its director, Michael Winterbottom. I saw Syriana a few years back, and it’s a little similar in style, but unlike Syriana, even though I knew what eventually happens in the film, it was still able to capture my heart and full attention. While watching Syriana at the theater I have to confess that my head drooped and I almost fell asleep! ( I did enjoy it better watching it the second time on dvd though, props to the plot line but not the direction and scene longevity) IMO, George Clooney did not deserve to win an Oscar for his performance. He was just Dr. Doug Ross with a little more weight. No offense to Dr. Ross; he was one of my favorite TV doctors of all time. I hope he and Carol Hathaway are living a blissful life in TV heaven :lol:
(c) looking forward to next week when it seems there will be more news direct from the JP family. more power to them and god bless to all.
Happy Holidays everyone.
I already finished decorating but sometimes I still get the itch to display more ornaments. I’m trying not to overdo it, hehehe… :lol: I just really like the decorating part, but I have to remind myself that the more I put up, the more stuff I have to clean out after the holidays. :-/ :lol:

What about CATE BLANCHETT? The best actress , most gorgeose woman and best woman/mom. She deserves the highest pay. She looks great with Brad Pitt. Too bad, they both have family. otherwise, they will be the perfect “Golden Couple”. But I still have hope, maybe someday they will become a couple.
