Kristen Stewart is the highest paid actress in Hollywood according to Forbes

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Forbes Magazine has unveiled its annual list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood and THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN (PART 2) star Kristen Stewart is number one.

Forbes calculated the actresses’ hauls by considering upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work after talking to managers, agents, lawyers and other Hollywood experts.  So, maybe all of those Teen Choice Awards are actually paying off.

The saddest thing about this list is the fact that every single woman on this list combined makes less than some of the biggest male stars in Hollywood in the same period of time, sometimes even on a single film.  Angelina Jolie ranked in the top five and she didn’t even have a movie come out last year.  Check out the full list.

Highest paid actresses 2011

1. Kristen Stewart – $34.5 million

2. Cameron Diaz – $34 million

3. Sandra Bullock – $25 million

4. Angelina Jolie – $20 million

5. Charlize Theron – $18 million

6. Julia Roberts – $16 million

7. Sarah Jessica Parker – $15 million

8. Meryl Streep – $12 million

9. Kristen Wiig – $12 million

10. Jennifer Aniston – $11 million

Whether you like her as an actress or not, Stewart clearly draws in the crowds.  But, two years from now when Forbes makes their list, I doubt Stewart will be anywhere near the top five.  In the meantime, she can enjoy the number one rank over these other Hollywood heavyweights.

Maybe now she can even crack a smile.

There ya go!
