Emma Watson Was Hollywood's Highest Paid Female In 2009
Vanity Fair came out with their list of Hollywood's top earners of 2009. They have an "unscientific" formula for determining who made how much. Topping the female list is Emma Watson, with $30 million - she scored $15 million each for the two final Harry Potter movies. The totals aren't necessarily who makes the most per movie - just who brought in the most $$ in '09.
The top 9 women:
1. Emma Watson, actress ($30million) 2. Cameron Diaz, actress ($27million) 3. Sarah Jessica Parker, actress ($24million) 4. Katherine Heigl, actress ($24million) 5. Reese Witherspoon, actress ($21million) 6. Angelina Jolie, actress ($21million) 7. Jennifer Aniston, actress ($20million) 8. Sandra Bullock, actress ($20million) 9. Kristen Stewart , actress ($16million)
Top Earning Men:
1. Michael Bay, producer-director ($125 million) 2. Steven Spielberg, producer-director ($85 million) 3. Roland Emmerich, producer-director ($70 million) 4. James Cameron, producer-director ($50 million) 5. Todd Phillips, director ($44 million) 6. Daniel Radcliffe, actor ($41 million) 7. Ben Stiller, actor ($40 million) 8. Tom Hanks, actor ($36 million) 9. J. J. Abrams, producer-director ($36 million) 10. Jerry Bruckheimer, producer ($35.5 million)
It's kinda cool to see how much some of the actors (and directors) get paid for each movie and what they earn "on the back end" as well.
I cannot WAIT for 'The Deathly Hallows' premieres and promotional appearances to start - Emma always looks so amazing on the red carpet. But that's not until NOVEMBER! Sigh.
