Hollywood’s highest paid actresses

(GETTY/GALLO)
2: Sarah Jessica Parker ($30 million) - Parker hasn’t strayed far from her association with fashion-lover Carrie Bradshaw from the hit TV show ‘Sex and the City’. In 2010 she starred in the second ‘Sex’ movie, which earned $290 million. She’s designing clothes with Halston and she has a line of best-selling fragrances, including NYC, which brought in $18 million in 2010. (GETTY/GALLO)
3: Jennifer Aniston ($28 million) - While the tabloids fret about Aniston’s love life, she is slowly proving herself to be one of Hollywood’s surest things on the business side. Her movie ‘The Bounty Hunter’ opened weak and was immediately written off by the pundits. But the film kept attracting audiences, eventually earning $136 million on an estimated budget of $40 million. (GETTY/GALLO)
4: Reese Witherspoon ($28 million) - Her marriage to agent Jim Toth kept her in the public eye this year but the actress’ latest romantic comedy, ‘How Do You Know’, was a colossal flop, earning only $47 million on an estimated budget of $120 million. Don’t expect it to dent Witherspoon’s career. She is still the go-to actress for movies like her upcoming ‘This Means War’, about a love triangle involving two CIA agents. (GETTY/GALLO)
5: Julia Roberts ($20 million) – Roberts’ career has slowed considerably since her ‘Notting Hill’ days but she’s still a box office draw. ‘Eat Pray Love’ earned an impressive $205 million. Roberts also earns from her work as one of the faces of Lancome. She’s attached to play the Evil Queen in one of two ‘Snow White’ projects currently in development. (GETTY/GALLO)

7: Katherine Heigl ($19 million) - One of the few women who can still command $12 million per picture, Heigl is the new queen of romantic comedies. She risks having that crown taken away from her though due to a couple of recent duds including ‘Killers’, which earned only $100 million, and ‘Life as We Know It,’ which performed slightly better, bringing in $106 million on an estimated budget of $40 million.

8: Cameron Diaz ($18 million) - Seventeen years after she debuted opposite Jim Carrey in ‘The Mask’, Diaz is still one of the most popular actresses in movies. She starred opposite Tom Cruise in last year’s ‘Knight and Day’. The film didn’t perform as well as many would have liked but it still brought in a solid $260 million thanks to brisk overseas ticket sales. (GETTY/GALLO)
9: Sandra Bullock ($15 million) - The actress hasn’t had a movie out in the last 12 months. After a year of triumph (winning an Oscar) and heartbreak (a painfully public divorce) Bullock is getting back to work with ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’. Based on the Jonathan Safran Foer novel about New York after 9/11, the film co-stars Tom Hanks. (GETTY/GALLO)
10: Meryl Streep ($10 million) - Streep had a huge year in 2009 with ‘Julie and Julia’ and ‘It's Complicated’ but the award-winning actress has been quiet since then. She’ll return later this year as Margaret Thatcher in the biopic ‘The Iron Lady’ directed by her ‘Mamma Mia’ helmer Phyllida Law. (GETTY/GALLO)
