Today, October 28, Julia Roberts turns 47 years old. During her acting career, she performed about 50 roles, won an Oscar and three Golden Globes, and also became one of the highest paid and sought-after actresses in Hollywood. In honor of Julia's birthday, we have compiled a list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood

Julia Roberts

Now, in one minute of shooting time, Julia can earn almost half a million dollars.

Today's birthday girl starts our list. She began her career modestly, she was paid 50 thousand dollars for the role. But everything changed thanks to "Pretty Woman". The film's phenomenal box office success changed Roberts' life. Julia immediately became a star of the first magnitude, and in Hollywood the royalties for stars are calculated exclusively in amounts with six zeros. Now, in one minute of shooting time, Julia can earn almost half a million dollars, and her fees for the film average from 10 to 30 million dollars. And this is despite the fact that now the actress does not appear in films and commercials very often. A significant part of Roberts' income is a contract with the cosmetics brand Lancome. According to various sources, her fortune is estimated from 150 to 300 million dollars.

Sandra Bullock

The actress earned her first million thanks to the romantic comedy "While You Slept" in 1995. And since 1996, Sandra's fees have ranged from $ 5 million to $ 15 million. The 2009 film "The Blind Side" brought in about 20 million for Bullock. In general, the actress does not live in poverty and can afford anything. There is no exact data on the state of the actress, but it is known that between 2013 and 2014, Sandra managed to replenish her bank account by another 51 million.

Jennifer Lawrence

Lawrence's appearance as the mutant Mystic in X-Men: Days of Future Past helped make the film the highest-grossing part of the entire series.

Thanks to the overwhelming success of The Hunger Games, Jennifer has transformed from an aspiring actress to a star of the first magnitude. In 2010, she was paid 3,000 for her work in the film The Winter Bone, and the fee for the second part of The Hunger Games was 10 million. Do not forget about her "Oscar", which definitely increased the demand for the actress.

Lawrence's appearance as the mutant Mystic in X-Men: Days of Future Past helped make the film the highest-grossing part of the entire series. Add to that the multimillion-dollar contracts with Dior, which Laurence has become the face, and you have the most influential young Hollywood actress of our time.

Jennifer Aniston

Popular since the days of Friends and still bathed in glory, Jennifer keeps up with her fellow actors. Aniston once played bit parts in TV shows and films, and was paid little to her. But Friends changed everything. Interestingly, Aniston still receives interest on endless reruns of the series, with film royalties ranging from $ 8 million to $ 15 million. In addition, Jennifer often appears in commercials, thereby replenishing her piggy bank by several million annually.

Angelina Jolie

Further, Angelina's fees ranged from 8-10 million.

Angie regularly took breaks from work to deal with children, but she still remains one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Jolie began to receive her first large royalties after the release of the film "Lara Croft". The first film in this series brought the actress 7 million, the second - 12. Further, Angelina's fees ranged from 8-10 million. Then the rate doubled: the beauty received 20 million for her work on the action movie "Salt"."Maleficent" also brought Jolie 15 million. I wonder what fee Angie determined for herself for shooting in her own film "By the Sea"?

Reese Witherspoon

The incomparable legally blonde first appeared in a movie in 1991 and has never ceased to delight her fans ever since. For comparison, in the thriller "Fear" Reese's fee was only 200 thousand dollars, and "Legally Blonde" brought in a more substantial fee - 2.5 million. Although only 5 years have passed between "Fear" and "Blonde". Then the rate for the work of the actress rose to 15 million. This bar is still held, although for the painting "Water for Elephants!" Reese received 2 million. Apparently, the actress really liked the script.

Cameron Diaz

Cameron's acting career began with the comedy "The Mask". The main genre in which Diaz plays is comedy. Beginning with Charlie's Angels (2000), Cam began making $ 12 million per film. However, recently the actress began to be rated lower: for the role in "The Green Hornet" she was paid only 6 million.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole's latest work, "Princess of Monaco", flopped at the box office, not even recouping its budget.

Niki earned her first millions thanks to her role in the film "Die in the Name" (1995). Since then, her fees have ranged from 10 to 17 million for the role. It should be noted that Nicole's last work, "Princess of Monaco", failed at the box office, not even recouping its budget. How this will affect the further well-being of Kidman, we will find out in the near future.

Katherine Heigl

This blonde started her film career at the age of 14. Comedies "27 Weddings" and "The Naked Truth" brought Kat 6 million each. Since then, Heigl's fees have grown exponentially. Now the actress earns 15 million for the role and several thousand dollars for shooting in commercials.

Kristen Stewart

The star of the "Twilight" saga is now trying hard to get out of the role of a vampire girlfriend. But it was this role that made Kristen one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. For the first part of the saga, the girl received $ 2 million. By the last installment, Stewart's royalty had grown to $ 12.5 million. They say that for her role in the film "Snow White and the Huntsman" Kristen received almost 30 million. True or not, only the directors and the actress herself know.
