Angelina Jolie’s net worth is about $145 million and she just landed on Forbes list of the highest paid actresses. Angelina Jolie hasn’t made a big movie since starring with Johnny Depp in "The Tourist," which didn’t do the big numbers that a star cast of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp should pull, the movie was made for $100 million and only brought in $278 million. Most of the budget went on getting the big stars. Angelina landed on the Forbes list 2013 anyway.

Angelina Jolie is the daughter of actor John Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. Jolie was bought up in New York and Los Angeles. Angelina Jolie caught the acting bug early. She came to cinema by way of music videos and modeling before she got her first lead part in “Cyborg 2” in 1993. She followed the sci-fi thriller with the computer-unfriendly cult hit “Hackers” in 1995.

Since Angelina Jolie’s last hit movie, made her debut as director in “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” a film about the Bosnian War which she also wrote. Angelina Jolie made headlines earlier this year when she decided to have a double mastectomy after learning she carried the BRCA1 gene which is an early indicator of breast cancer. Media outlets figured out why she hadn’t been busy acting and Jolie countered by writing a New York Times op-ed piece on why she decided to have the surgical procedure. The piece brought controversy but was also seen as a very honest and brave admission.

That didn’t stop Hollywood from offering Angeline Jolie her $15 million paychecks. She filmed “Maleficent,” which retells the Sleeping Beauty tale, for Disney. The upcoming blockbuster will come out next summer. The film put Jolie back on top of the list of Hollywood's Top-Earning Actresses. Jolie earned about $33 million une 2012 and June 2013. That’s up $13 million from the year before. It is also $9 million more than Jennifer Lawrence will make. Jennifer Lawrence comes in number two on the list of high paid actresses.

Jennifer Lawrence had a big year in 2012. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress Oscar for her part "Silver Linings Playbook.” Jennifer Lawrence’s breakthrough film "The Hunger Games" earned $690 million. It was made for $80 million. Jennifer Lawrence cost less than $1 million for the first part of the “Hunger Games” movie franchise. She got a raise for the second installment, "Catching Fire.” “Catching Fire” will open in November. Jennifer Lawrence is next set to play the young Mystique in in the next X-Men film, "Days of Future Past."

Last year Kristen Stewart sat at the top of the list. She made $34.5 million. This year the “Twilight” star came in third. She made $22 million, mainly for getting paid up front for her role in "Snow White and the Huntsman." Stewart has made the Forbes Celebrity 100 list four times. This could be the last year she makes the list because the “Twilight” series has ended, like a vampire in the sun. Stewart’s last film, “On the Road,” based on the Jack Kerouac book, only made $8.7 million at the box office.

Jennifer Aniston came in fourth place with $20 million, mainly residuals from the “Friends” TV series. She will play a dope dealer in the movie “We’re the Millers.” It was made for $30 milion.

Emma Stone, who played Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” movie series debuted on the Celebrity 100 list this year at number five. She made about $16 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
