Hollywood's highest-paid actress is Sandra Bullock, Forbes magazine reported. The publication said, it looked at women's paychecks for films and television from June 2009 to June 2010, as well as their earnings from clothing lines and perfume and makeup endorsements, to compile the roster.
Bullock came in at the top of the Forbes list with $56 million, followed by Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz each with $32 million, Jennifer Aniston with $27 million and Sarah Jessica Parker with $25 million.
Bullock, 46, placed first not only starring in The Blind Side, which earned $310 million, but also for The Proposal, which raked in another $320 million.
Witherspoon, 34, hasn't been seen in a movie since 2008's Four Christmases (she also lent her voice to 2009's animated film Monsters vs. Aliens), she sits near the top of the list because of upfront pay days on two upcoming movies ''How Do You Know'' and the film adaptation of ''Water for Elephants''. To boot, Witherspoon also earns money as an "ambassador" for Avon.
No. 4 Jennifer Aniston made $27 million despite bombs such as Love Happens, which took in just $36 million worldwide. But the 41-year-old Aniston still gets money from Friends and recently launched her own perfume line.
In fifth place, Sarah Jessica Parker, mainly because she keeps benefiting from Sex and the City. The 45-year-old actress took in $25 million from the show's syndication, and this year's sequel Sex and the City 2 earned $280 million at the global box office. Her perfume line is also a big seller, the magazine reported.
Rounding out the top 10: Julia Roberts (No. 6, $20 million), Angelina Jolie (No. 7, $20 million), Drew Barrymore (No. 8, $15 million), Meryl Streep (No. 9, $13 million) and Kristen Stewart (No. 10, $12 million).
