Hollywood's Highest-Paid Actresses.
Despite an unfortunate public profile recently, Sandra Bullock is financially on fire.
First her romantic comedy The Proposal grossed $320 million on an estimated budget of $40 million. Then Blind Side hit theatres earning $310 million at the box office on an estimated budget of only $30 million. Bullock even cut her usual fee to star in the movie and reaped a large share of the film's profits in return.
Between her earnings on The Proposal and The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock earned $56 million between June 2009 and June 2010, tops among Hollywood's leading ladies and eighth on our annual Celebrity 100 list.
Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz tie for second place on Hollywood's best-paid actresses list with a take of $32 million over the past year. Diaz has the advantage of earnings from the 'Shrek' franchise which will be there there well into her retirement years. Those films have earned a total $2.8 billion at the global box office.
Jennifer Aniston ranks fourth with $27 million. She also still gets money from Friends and recently launched her own perfume line.
In fifth place: Sarah Jessica Parker with $25 million. Apart from SATC paychecks her perfume line, which includes scents like NYC, Lovely and Dawn, are also big sellers.
