Nicole Kidman was Hollywood’s highest paid actress this year with a reported price of $17 million per film, with her largest payday coming from 2007’s The Invasion. This is the first time in four years that Julia Roberts has not topped the list. The top 10 are as follows:
Nicole Kidman $16M – $17M
Reese Witherspoon $15M
Renee Zellweger $15M
Drew Barrymore $15M
Cameron Diaz $15M
Halle Berry $14M
Charlize Theron $10M
Angelina Jolie $10M
Kirsten Dunst $8M – $10M
Jennifer Aniston $8M”
Hollywood lives on hope and cocaine, so it’s no wonder that this list is filled people like this. In the real world, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore wouldn’t crack the top ten of a dog show. And based on talent, Kirsten Dunst and Jennifer Aniston wouldn’t even be the highest paid cashiers at Target.Only one of Nicole Kidman’s films, Batman Forever, has ever made over $100 million, yet somehow she’s Hollywood’s golden calf. On the other hand, two of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie, have ten $100 million movies between them. They’re both great actresses and they make money. They could read me a Burger King menu and it would be more fascinating than any movie Cameron Diaz is in.
