6th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker are Hollywood's highest paid actresses, according to Forbes magazine's annual list.

Both women made $30 million between May 2010 and May 2011, the financial publication revealed.

Although not critically acclaimed, Jolie's recent film The Tourist, which she starred in with Johnny Depp, brought in a massive $280 million in box office sales making her seemingly worth every cent of her high salary.

Much of Parker's earnings did not come from her movies in the past year but her beauty brand.

Her fragrances Lovely, Covet and NYC earned $18 million of her $30 million income.

It was also a tie for third place with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon earning an estimated $28 million each last year.

Despite disappointment at the box office with her latest release Larry Crowne, Julia Roberts made the list, tying with Twilight star Kristen Stewart for fifth place as they both brought in $20 million.

Others on the prestigious listing include Katherine Heigl, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep.
