Forbes: Will Smith, Cameron Diaz top Hollywood earnings list

Add a Comment

by Liz Barrett, Celebrity News Examiner

Men still get paid twice as much as women in Hollywood, but we're not feeling super sorry for alpha female Cameron Diaz, who had to make do with a $50 million salary last year, according to Forbes. Will Smith was the alpha male with $80 million.

The top five overall were men: Johnny Depp was No. 2 with $72 million; Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers and Leonardi DiCaprio earned $55 million each.

Among female movie stars, Keira Knightley was No. 2 with $32 million and Jennifer Aniston was No. 3 with $27 million.

We're not happy about women being paid so much less than men anywhere, including Hollywood, but we do have to mention one little fact: Nobody earns as much as Oprah. Not even close. She pulled in a cool $275 million last year.
