Celebrity Settlements and Their Salaries: a blog about celebrity’s income and net worth.
Forbes is out with its annual list of celebrities’ net worth, and it’s chock full of interesting information. Notably, many of the celebs’ wealth comes from outside of their entertainment work. For instance, Oprah Winfrey has her talk show, but she also has a production company (the Oprah Winfrey Network), a magazine (O Magazine), and a school for girls in South Africa (Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls).
Actors who have starred in many blockbuster films make a lot of money, but not nearly as much as you might think. Many stars earn relatively little per film compared to what they can make with lucrative endorsement deals.
Here’s how much the top ten highest paid actors made last year:
1. Angelina Jolie: $33 million
2. Jennifer Aniston: $28 million
3. Scarlett Johansson: $20 million
4. Leonardo DiCaprio: $18 million
5. Brad Pitt: $17 million
The highest paid actress in the world is Scarlett Johansson, who made $40.5 million in 2015 and $17 million in 2016.
Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, and Julia Roberts are also considered as the most successful actresses in the world.
Although some actors receive salaries for their movies, many of them receive a percentage of their film’s profits. This can make their salaries vary considerably from year to year. In the following table we have listed the 10 highest-paid actors and actresses in 2014.
The top ten actors and actresses earned a combined total of $458 million during 2014, nearly double the amount made by their counterparts on our list of top earning musicians that same year!

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.
