Hollywood's Highest Paid Actresses

 

 

 Making her debut on the list is former That '70s Show star Mila Kunis, who has had a huge year thanks to movies like Ted and Oz: The Great and Powerful.

 

 Oscar-winner Natalie Portman takes the eighth place on the list thanks to her role in the Thor franchise. Thor: The Dark World, the second movie from the Marvel series, is due to be released later this year.

 

It's been relatively quiet for Sandra Bullock recently, but the actress is coming back with a bang this year with back to back movie releases. The first is crime comedy The Heat, where she stars alongside Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy, and next is sci-fi movie Gravity.
 

 

Kristen Stewart, who topped the list last year, has dropped to third place with $22 million.

 

She's been keeping a low profile recently, but Angelina Jolie, who recently revealed that she'd undergone a voluntary double mastectomy, is the highest paid actress in Hollywood. Her next project is Maleficent, Disney's new take on the Sleeping Beauty story.
 

 

High profile appearances in big budget movies like Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus have helped to maximise Charlize Theron's earnings in the last few years. She also has significant endorsements deals with the likes of Dior.

 

Jennifer Lawrence's 2013 Oscar win for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook has seen her earning potential shoot up. She was reportedly paid under $1 million for the first Hunger Games movie, but her fee for the second instalment was increased due to her recent success.
 

 

Mila Kunis, Angelina Jolie and Natalie Portman have all made it on to Forbes' list of Hollywood's highest paid actresses.
Kristen Stewart and Emma Stone are also among those in the top ten of the US business magazine's list, which is based on earnings between June 2012 and June 2013. 

 

Emma Stone's career has gone from strength to strength since she appeared in Superbad back in 2007 and she's now one of the most sought after young actresses around. She is currently filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 alongside her boyfriend Andrew Garfield.
 

 

Jennifer Aniston apparently took pay cuts to appear in films like Horrible Bosses and We're the Millers, but still earns a fortune thanks to her deals with Vitamin Water and Aveeno skin care.
 

 

 Julia can afford to pick and chooses her projects nowadays, but she still earns a small fortune. Her next project is August: Osage County, where she stars alongside Meryl Streep.
