Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is
Hollywood's highest paid actress with estimated earnings of $51 million over 12
months, followed by Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Aniston, Forbes magazine
said on Monday.
Bullock, 50, had a big hit last year with the
space thriller film "Gravity," which won seven Academy Awards
including best director for Alfonso Cuaron, and made more than $716 million
worldwide.
The best actress Oscar winner in 2010 for
"The Blind Side," Bullock jumped from seventh place on the previous
Forbes earnings list to the top spot between June 2013 and June 2014.
"'Gravity' star Sandra Bullock didn't win best actress this year but she
did walk away with a ton of money," according to Forbes.com.
"Hunger Games" actress Lawrence, 23,
came in second for the second consecutive year with estimated earnings of $34
million, while Aniston, 45, climbed one spot to No. 3 with $31 million. Forbes
compiled the list by estimating earnings from the actresses' film work,
endorsements, residuals and advertising work, and by talking to agents,
managers and lawyers.
Gwyneth Paltrow, 41, who made an
estimated $19 million, and Angelina Jolie, with $18 million, rounded out the
top five. Jolie, 39, dropped from No. 1 last year. Scarlett Johansson, the
29-year-old star of the sci-fi action thriller "Lucy," came in
seventh with $17 million, and "Twilight" star
Kristen Stewart, 24, fell from No. 3
last year to 10th place with earnings of $12 million. Although all of the
actresses pulled in hefty incomes, Forbes said women still earn less than men
in Hollywood.
