Highest Paid Hollywood Beauties

Whenever I read about the palatial mansions, private resorts, stacks of closets filled with designer wear and zany party life of celebrities, I’ve always wondered what kind of money Hollywood female actors would be making. Let’s take a snapshot look at the highest paid Hollywood female actors in no particular order.

Reese Witherspoon

1. Reese Witherspoon

Little birdies in Hollywood land say that this 'Walk the Line' Hollywood beauty has beaten Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and Cameron Diaz to secure the spot of the richest actress in B-Town. I was totally stunned when I read somewhere that she charges a massive 15 to 20 million dollars per film. I always wonder what these ladies do with so much money. By the way, did you know that Witherspoon earns a good deal of dough from being an Avon ambassador?

Angelina Jolie

2. Angelina Jolie

This lovely pouted beauty has set the cash registers ringing from a decade now. She has the ability of delivering one super hit after another! Jolie is not only one of the highest paid beauties in Hollywood because she spins money out of her films, but she is also the most searched actress on the Internet. Did you know that Jolie reportedly charged a whopping 8 million dollars for her upcoming film 'Beowulf?'

Sandra Bullock

3. Sandra Bullock

Bullock has had one hell of a year in 2010. A messy divorce, record breaking box office results with 'The Blind Side' and 'The Proposal', a baby adoption in the pipeline and an Oscar to top it all! Whatever her personal life might have been, she's been raking in the moolah like there's no tomorrow. Trade analysts and agents say that she reaped a clean 56 million dollars just between June 2009 and June 2010. Well, if you have a profit earning share from a movie like 'The Blind Side', what can possibly stop you?

Cameron Diaz

Wow, I never expected this pretty lady on the top paid list. I mean, she's hugely popular, but she's not been doing much lately. Her recent film 'Knight & Day' has won her a lot of accolades and money. And do you know what the funniest part is? She has been bringing in royalty monies from simply lending her voice in the highly popular film 'Shrek' for a decade at least! No wonder this lady is so rich.

Sarah Jessica Parker

5. Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah’s tryst with becoming rich started when she was signed on the TV show ‘Sex and the City’. Every time we keep watching re-runs of the show, she’s going to earn money out of royalty! Apart from this, she has joined the bandwagon of launching her own perfume line which includes top selling fragrances like ‘Lovely & Dawn’ and ‘NYC.’ With Four Golden Globes in her kitty, Sarah Jessica Parker is a Hollywood beauty who deserves to be well paid.

The interesting this is that these ladies earn so much money because of their numerous assets and properties, in addition to acting in movies. From royalties, brand ambassadorships, world tours, profit sharing and investments in the movie studios to designer label launches. We still don’t even know how many more streams of income they have.
