Hollywood's highest paid actresses

In Hollywood, top actresses earn fame and money - in fact, an obscene amount of it when asked to play a lead role in a movie.

Some are raking in tens of millions. And continue to do so. Like the reigning Hollywood Queen Angelina Jolie, whose bounty is about US$30 million.

Not to be outdone is Sarah Jessica Parker, who commands the same fee. Not bad at all for an actress who was propelled to fame after tasting success in hit TV show Sex and the City.

Also enjoying tremendous small-to-big-screen success is Jennifer Aniston, who trails closely behind at US$28 million.

Even if you're able to command just US$12 million for a picture, you can consider yourself very, very lucky. Like Kathrine Heigl, the new queen of romantic comedies.
