Angelina Jolie is the Highest Paid Actress in Hollywood: $15 million plus

Jolie got $15 million-plus for Universal's "Wanted," and might even get $20 million for a sequel. She earned $15 million-plus for her upcoming "Edwin A. Salt" for Sony -- and got a hefty backend. Sources say she has also gotten a bigger backend gross than any other actress. Her commercial prospects don't appear to have been hurt by weak or modest results for last year's "A Mighty Heart" and Universal's "Changeling." via
