Sandra Bullock Tops Forbes List As Hollywood's Top-Earning Actress

Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is Hollywood's highest paid actress with
estimated earnings of $51 million over 12 months, followed by Jennifer
Lawrence and Jennifer Aniston, Forbes magazine said on Monday.

Bullock, 50, had a big hit last year with the space thriller film
"Gravity," which won seven Academy Awards including best director for
Alfonso Cuaron, and made more than $716 million worldwide.

The best actress Oscar winner in 2010 for "The Blind Side," Bullock
jumped from seventh place on the previous Forbes earnings list to the
top spot between June 2013 and June 2014.

"'Gravity' star Sandra Bullock didn't win best actress this year but
she did walk away with a ton of money," according to Forbes.com.

"Hunger Games" actress Lawrence, 23, came in second for the second
consecutive year with estimated earnings of $34 million, while
Aniston, 45, climbed one spot to number three with $31 million.

Forbes compiled the list by estimating earnings from the actresses'
film work, endorsements, residuals and advertising work, and by
talking to agents, managers and lawyers.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 41, who made an estimated $19 million, and Angelina
Jolie, with $18 million, rounded out the top five. Jolie, 39, dropped
from number one last year.

Scarlett Johansson, the 29-year-old star of the sci-fi action thriller
"Lucy," came in seventh with $17 million, and "Twilight" star Kristen
Stewart, 24, fell from number three last year to 10th place with
earnings of $12 million.

Although all of the actresses pulled in hefty incomes, Forbes said
women still earn less then men in Hollywood. While the 10 highest
earning actors took home a combined total of $419 million, Hollywood's
10 best paid actresses made a total of $226 million during the same
time period.
