Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is Hollywood’s highest paid female actor with estimated earnings of $51m over 12 months, followed by Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Aniston, Forbes magazine said on Monday.
Bullock, 50, had a big hit last year with the space thriller film “Gravity,” which won seven Academy Awards including best director for Alfonso Cuaron, and made more than $716m worldwide.
The Best Actress Oscar winner in 2010 for “The Blind Side,” Bullock jumped from seventh place on the previous Forbes earnings list to the top spot between June 2013 and June 2014.
“Hunger Games” star Lawrence, 23, came in second for the second consecutive year with estimated earnings of $34m, while Aniston, 45, climbed one spot to number 3 with $31m.
Forbes compiled the list by estimating earnings from the actors’ film work, endorsements, residuals and advertising work, and by talking to agents, managers and lawyers.
Although all of the ladies pulled in hefty incomes, Forbes said women still earn less then men in Hollywood. While the 10 highest earning male actors took home a combined total of $419m, Hollywood’s 10 best paid female actors made a total of $226m during the same time period.
