Ange or Jen: who’s better paid?
Posted by Jane Murphy
It’s Angelina Jolie v Jennifer Aniston, round 273. (Stop groaning at the back there, please.)
Those unstoppable list-makers at Forbes have just unveiled their annual rundown of Hollywood’s top-earning actresses.
And at No.1? It’s Angelina! Yep, in between being a mum-of-six and trying to save the world, Ms Jolie has managed to pocket $27m (around £16.5m) from her movie roles in the past year.
Meanwhile, despite a very prolific 12 months - and the fact that she still earns royalties from all those reruns of Friends - Jen has only raked in $23m (around £14m) in the same period. Puh! I’m surprised she can make ends meet on that measly wage…
However, Jen’s earnings still put her at No.2 on the list - with Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cameron Diaz occupying the next three places.
The first Brit in the countdown? At No.15, it’s gushing gong-gatherer Kate Winslet, who earned $2m (around £1.2m) - which sounds like small change to the likes of Angelina.
So are these actresses worth their humungous pay packets? Tell us what you think.

does it really matter ???? Doesnt make one better than the other . Infact - I reckon Jen will always be everyones fave simply coz she's down to earth and talented and funny.

Oh My God!! My life is complete! Knowing that Angelina earns much much more money than me has made me so happy! Hey, maybe next you could kick me in the ass and see if it hurts me more! But i really doubt it!
