10 Top Paid Hollywood Actresses

To figure out earnings, I added the pay on movies they are currently shooting, as well as back-end pay earned after a movie hit the theaters. I also looked at any money actresses might have earned through their perfume or clothing lines. As is still typical for Hollywood, actresses earn significantly less than their male counterparts.

Here I have compiled the 10 top paid Hollywood actresses. I hope you will like it.
