The top-earning actress today, according to Forbes annual report over the past year, is Cameron Diaz, who earned around 50 million dollars. This is how she did it folks: It’s one word “Shrek.” However, she starred in a comedy, What Happens in Vegas, and My Sister’s Keeper, based on the best-seller of the same name. She’s involved with the fourth Shrek.
The next rich actress on the list is Keira Knightley, who brought in 32 million dollars from starring roles in movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and Atonement.
Next, is television and movie star Jennifer Aniston, who drummed up enough to earned 27 million dollars with starring roles in the family comedy Marley & Me and the dating ensemble He’s Just Not That Into You. Plus, her extracurricular activities boosted the money by payments from the syndication of “Friends” and endorsement contracts for Glaceau’s Smartwater and Heineken.
Tying for the fourth place are Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow. Both collected around 25 million dollars during the year. The rest of the actresses on the top ten tier were Jodie Foster, Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Angelina Jolie.

Forbes magazine did the calculations, worked the digits and figured out that Vince Vaughn gives more prof
it than any other actor in the industry as I write this down now — might change tomorrow — that’s show biz. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Apparently, Vaughn charges less than any other dollar for dollar; thus the investment pays more to the investor.
The numbers work out like this: For every dollar you spent of Vince Vaugh, you made $14.73. Those are great numbers.
Vaughn had two films Wedding Crashers and The Break Up that were calculated into the formula. Each, respectively, earned $283 million and $203 million.
The formula went like this: Forbes compiled the Ultimate Star Payback list by looking at the stars’ last three films that opened wide in at least 1,000 theaters before 2008 and were made in the last five years.
It calculated the gross income for each film by adding half the worldwide box office and the first three months of wholesale DVD revenues and then subtracting its budget. The gross income was divided by the actor’s total compensation to derive his or her payback for the movie.
Sounds like a reading math exercise. Anyway, Vince congratulations!!!
