Forbes dropped another list this week, revealing their 2012 list for "Highest-Paid Actresses".
Topping the young actress Kristen Stewart, raking in an estimated $34.5 million between May 2011 to May 2012, also helping her rank 34rd on the "Celebrity 100" list, which was unveiled in May.
At just 22, she's the youngest women on the mag's list by 16 years. Most of her money came from Twilight where she stars as Bella Swan. Her profile in the film also helped her earn big buck for her starring role in the recently released Snow White and the Huntsman.
Cameron Diaz landed at #2, earning $34 million thanks to the success of her quiet 2011 hit, Bad Teacher. Forbes says the film raked in $216 million, giving her a massive profit because she initially took a smaller upfront fee in exchange for a large share of the profits.
At #3 is Sandra Bullock with $25 million; Angelina Jolie earned $20 million to place at #4 and Charlize Theron rounds out the top five, earning $18 million.
Forbes considered upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work to determine the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. The mag's team talked to managers, agents, lawyers and other in-the-know folks to come up with our estimates.
