So I always knew that movie stars and actors were paid well. But how much is well? According to Reese Witherspoon who is listed at the top of the highest paid actresses she makes $15 million to $20 million a movie. This 31-year old Academy Award winner is placed at the top of The Hollywood Reperter's annual list of the highest paid actresses. Coming in second was Angelina Jolie with similar salary demands. This 32-year old actress makes just $8 million. Cameron Diaz was third, with a $15 million-per-movie price tag. Nicole Kidman dropped to fourth place, two spots lower than last year, with an asking price of $10 million to $15 million a film. Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock also get $10 to $15 million paychecks. So does Julia Roberts, who hasn't appeared on the big screen since 2004. Her next film, "Charlie Wilson's War," is due in theaters in December. Rounding out the top 10 are Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster, who ask $10 million to $12 million per project, and Halle Berry, who gets $10 million a picture.
The salary list appears in The Hollywood Reporter's "Women in Entertainment: Power 100" issue.
