OlderNicole Kidman = Highest Paid Actress
Nicole Kidman sure had something to smile about at a press conference in Geneva earlier today. She topped The Hollywood Reporter‘s Female Hollywood Rich List, fetching 17 million dollars per movie. Nicole beat out last year’s top money-maker, Reese Witherspoon.
$15 million for each film = Renee Zellweger, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz placing third, fourth and fifth, respectively.
Rounding out the top 10 are Halle Berry ($14 million), Charlize Theron ($10 million), Angelina Jolie ($10 million), Kirsten Dunst ($8 – $10 million) and Jennifer Aniston ($8 million).

You go Nicole! I love how she is not afraid to take chances with indies, but also enjoy her in the big budget films.
go nicole! she rocks no matter what you say! :)
jennifer aniston? in top 10??
Her movies almost never (except Batman forever -95 ) make exceptional profits either..so she must be a very good negotiator lol lol
Nicole …why?? That is shocking.
Nicole deserves every accolade. She is an astounding actress.
#1-9 I get. Even #9 is questionable.
#10: Movie flops- $8 million? Can somebody say highway robbery?
I’ll say it: Highway robbery.
bad sitcom one note actress = $8 million. Hmmm, the benefits of having been wed to A list Hollywood hunk cause even when he leaves you , you can still milk the contacts he gave you and parlay that into $8 million dollar career.
Can I get a Jenny Craig amen?
None of these chicks movies make that much dough. Hollywood need so me fresh talent. (excep AJ she rocks). This is ridiculous. And Jennifer Aniston 8m are ya kiddin me, I would not pay to watch her screw, unless it was with Brad Pitt and that will not be happening again. He got a woman this time not man face.
You go Nicole. And very beautiful here.
I would have thought Angelina made more?
Halle Barry and Aniston?? Too much in my opinion.
why does J. Man get $8 million a movie? no one goes to see them!!
These rankings are based on what their highest paid movie is. Nicole’s is her new one with Daniel Craig at 17 mil. Aniston had that string of flops at about 8 mil a piece. I think Angelina would have ranked higher if she had done more movies. She had some slack time there. Next year should be interesting if Julia throws herself back into work and Nicole goes for another high paid big budget feature. I don’t think Aniston after her flops will command anywhere near 8 mil. I think Angie will command more.
Just my opinion.
Finally a good picture of the engagement ring and wedding band. She doesn’t look too happy…maybe she is thinking of Keith.
Nicole may not be “Julia Roberts” but she sure as hell beats her in the acting department so I have no problem with her being number 1, although I really thought Reese had this locked up. But good for you Nicole.
But like, I’m shocked to see Renee Zellweger on that list at all, let alone so high.
what movies beside lara croft and mr& mrs smith of angelina has been a hit. Fact Jennifer movies have grossed more than angelina on average.
Go Nicole!!!!!!

************************************
That’s because Jennifer relied on her co-stars to carry the movies. Jim Carrey, Vince Vaughn , Will Ferrel.
If you replaced Jen in those movies with any other actress, it wouldn’t not have made a lick of difference. She never carried those movies. When it comes to a movies where she is promoted as the star of the movie like Derailed and Rumor Has It, the movies are box office failures.
Angie was promoted as the star of Lara Croft and she carried that movie on her own. She’s also a three times Golden Globe winner and and an Oscar winner. That’s the difference.
Also, where the heck is the immensly talented Kate Winslet? She should be in this list, NOT Cameron Diaz.
Nichole Kidman is so fu*kin ugly…she deserved under 10 millions….
only Reese Witherspoon is the box-office queen…..
where is Jodie Foster???
all her movies from last year was a big hit @ box-office…..
i agree Kate Winslet & Merly Streep are should be in the top 10 list…..
i hate No 9 & 10 from the list……

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WOW!
You are so wrong – it is not even worth educating you.
Can somebody please get some stats on the lovely box office of Derailed and Rumor Has It.
Mr & Mrs is at almost a billion dollars worldwide.
Derailed, Rumor Has It – the two classic bombs of recent box office history.
Honey, please!
Yeah, she can never match Robert’s box office record and that’s bec. of her taste for edgy projects (Dogville, anyone????)
But here in Asia, she can sell and the film distributors certainly knows about it.
HERS was the only face that appeared in the promotional write-up for the movie “Happy Feet”. And its been doin really well at b.o. even against the Bond movie.
Always been a fan ever since that Letterman quip”Now I can wear high heels”‘and when she hired S.L. Stein (hope I got the name correctly) as her divorce lawyer…….it was like a corporate warfare??????……smart move!!!!!!
Now,she’s the highest paid actress!!!Wow!!!!!!!!!Congrats!Ms.Kidman
pppppppppplease… j. aniston, on the list for $ 8??? the btch is good… so so talent, looks blah blah blah… but someone knows how to play hw games well…
Why is Julia Roberts not on this list instead of Derailed X Pity Party bad sitcom actress who should be thankful she married Hollywood hunk to give her film career a jumpt start?
HA! That should read “Nicole beat out last year’s top money-maker, Reese, WITH A SPOON.
I make me laugh.
Stop making this about Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. Can you people think about anything else???
Aside from the one on no. 10 spot, most of this top 9 actress had international appeal and market. which make them worthy.
But where are Cate Blancheth and Meryl Streep. they were paid less than the less talented sit-com actress ? UNFAIR !!!
Ummm…Fug Face Maniston,
You sound a little obsessed with JA and AJ. This is a thread regarding Nicole Kidman is it not? And stop with the childish insults, I never said that Nicole Kidman is ugly, don’t assume ANYTHING. I think she’s gorgeous but if I didn’t, you think I’m a homosexual or blind??? That makes no sense whatsoever. You sound very young.
