Forbes:Angelina Jolie is Hollywood's top-earning actress
Angelina Jolie was Hollywood's top-earning actress over the last year, earning an estimated $27 million between June 2008 and June 2009, according to Forbes annual Celebrity 100 list.
In a statement, the magazine said, "Much of Angelina's earnings came from her share of the profits on 'Wanted', but she also scored a fat upfront check for 'Salt', an action film originally slated to star Tom Cruise, in which Jolie plays a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy."
Angelina beat her partner Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, who came second in the list with earnings of $25 million.
Meryl Streep earned $24 million thanks to last summer's hit Mamma Mia, while Sarah Jessica Parker came in fourth with $23 million for the big-screen debut of Sex and the City.
Cameron Diaz was ranked fifth generating $20 million, while Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock tied for sixth place after making $15 million each.
As usual, the actresses earned significantly less than their male counterparts. This year's top-earning actor Harrison Ford earned $65 million, $38 million more than Angelina.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt gave $1 million to benefit displaced people in Pakistan.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million to the U.N. agency providing aid to displaced people in Pakistan.
The contribution from the couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation will benefit more than 2 million people who have been driven from their homes this year by fighting between government troops and Taliban militants in the northwest of the country.
The head of the agency, António Guterres, thanked the Jolie-Pitt Foundation for the generous donation, calling Pakistan's plight "the most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."
Angelina Jolie has visited Pakistan on three missions and will talk about her work aiding refugees on Thursday as she celebrates World Refugee Day in Washington D.C. with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This act of goodwill comes three days after Pitt and his siblings donated $1 million to create the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center - named after Pitt's mother - in his hometown of Springfield, Mo.

Happy Birthday,Superstar actress Angelina Jolie
Superstar actress and humanitarian advocate Angelina Jolie turns 34 years old today and she's got a lot to celebrate!
Angelina Jolie has unseated talkshow diva Oprah Winfrey as the world's most powerful celebrity in a new survey published by Forbes magazine Wednesday.
And she's still going strong with her hunky partner and baby daddy Brad Pitt, as well as being hard at work on Salt, the action movie where she's doing her own stunts.
We're betting Angelina would love a donation to one of her favorite charities instead of lavish gifts.

Angelina Jolie Lead The Pack For Best Female Performance -Kristen Stewart says.
Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie is nominated for Best Female Performance at this year's MTV Movie Awards.Five women who gave five very different performances in five very different movies.
Angelina Jolie brought the action with her role in "Wanted," Anne Hathaway used her comedy chops to get nominated in "Bride Wars," and the drama queens — Kristin Stewart in "Twilight," Kate Winslet in "The Reader" and Taraji P. Henson in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" — are all going head to head to try and secure themselves a trophy.
lthough no one can be ruled out just yet, it seems less likely that Winslet will win for her role in the post-WWII drama "The Reader." And Hathaway might have been funny in "Bride Wars" battling Kate Hudson for her dream wedding, but the competition is stiff. Finally, Henson was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Benjamin Button," but with Stewart and Jolie as the front-runners, she'll have a tough road.
