The 50-year-old beauty has topped Forbes’ annual ranking of the highest paid female movie stars after making a reported $51 million between June 2013 and June 2014, which was largely due to her leading role in the Oscar-winning movie ‘Gravity.’
Jennifer Lawrence climbed into second place with an estimated $34 million thanks to her successful role in the ‘Hunger Games‘ franchise, while Jennifer Aniston followed closely behind with a reported $31 million.
Gwyneth Paltrow landed in fourth place with an estimated $19 million following her work in ‘Iron Man 3,’ while last year’s top-earner Angelina Jolie found herself in joint fifth place with Cameron Diaz after making an estimated $18 million over the 12-month period.
Scarlett Johansson came sixth with an estimated earning of $17 million, while Amy Adams and Natalie Portman came joint seventh with $13 million. Kristen Stewart finished off the list in last place after making an estimated $12 million over the past year.
Meanwhile, the list also drew attention to the fact that men are still earning more than women in Hollywood as the top 10 actors – which included the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper – earned a total of $419 million, while the women made just over half that with a combined total of $226 million.
The top 10 list of highest paid actresses in 2014 are as follows:
1. Sandra Bullock – $51 million
2. Jennifer Lawrence – $34 million
3. Jennifer Aniston – $31 million
4. Gwyneth Paltrow – $19 million
5. Angelina Jolie – $18 million
5. Cameron Diaz – $18 million
7. Scarlett Johansson – $17 million
8. Amy Adams – $13 million
8. Natalie Portman – $13 million
10. Kristen Stewart – $12 million
