Which Actress Has The Most Stuff In Their Stocking?

Need a loan?  Hit up Reese Witherspoon this holiday season. 

Reese Witherspoon has taken the crown as this year’s highest paid Hollywood actress, commanding $15 million to $20 million a picture.

Witherspoon, who was second to Nicole Kidman on last year’s list compiled by the Hollywood Reporter, edged out Angelina Jolie, who commands about the same salary. Jolie took considerably less for the animated “Beowulf,” getting just $8 million - but it was for just five weeks of work.

Cameron Diaz was third, with a $15-million-per-movie price tag. Kidman dropped to fourth place, with an asking price of $10 million to $15 million a film.

Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts also get $10 million to $15 million paychecks, even though Roberts hasn’t appeared onscreen since 2004’s “Ocean’s Twelve.” Her next film, “Charlie Wilson’s War,” hits theaters in January.

Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster, who ask $10 million to $12 million a project are numbers eight and nine, with Halle Berry in the 10 slot, asking $10 million a picture.

The full salary list appears in The Hollywood Reporter’s “Women in Entertainment: Power 100″ issue, on newsstands Tuesday.
