Top 5 Richest Actresses of 2009

•Cameron Diaz: The golden girl of Hollywood has bagged the top earning actress award of Hollywood with whopping $50 million mark last year. The stunning beauty known for her penchant to change boyfriends has managed the most lucrative deal playing princess-turned-ogre, Princess Fiona, in Shrek. Cameron Diaz has also received huge paychecks with What happens in Vegas and My Sister’s Keeper (an adaptation of Jodi Picoult’s best selling novel) in 2008.
•Keira Knightley: Running next to Diaz is the top beauty icon of 2007, Keira Knightley with $32 million earning. This makes the beautiful actress with her sterling performance in Atonement the only non-American actor to made it to the top list. From an actress who was initially derided as nothing more than a pretty face, this seems a befitting reply to all her critics.
•Jennifer Anniston: Sitting pretty in the third position, according to Parade magazine, is the 40-year-old actress Jennifer Anniston for $27 million earning. Playing Jennifer Grogan in Marley and Me, the actress with her soft and natural looks out-earns her gorgeous rival Angelina Jolie by $13 million!
•Reese Witherspoon: Close to Anniston is the Legally Blonde star Reese Witherspoon. The highly talented actress with major acting awards at her kitty has made it to the list with her impressive $25 million mark. Produced and acted by Witherspoon, the film Penelop (a sweet romantic tale of a young girl coming to terms with herself) has made impressive cash collections at the box office. This year, apart from signing many big budget movies, the brunette beauty has already signed a 3 years contract with Avon cosmetics as their first global ambassador. With her forever-16 looks, the 31 year old genuinely gifted hands-on mother is surely going to reign Hollywood for a long time.
•Gwyneth Paltrow: With $25 million, the naturally luminous Gwyneth shares the limelight as the fourth richest actresses of 2009 with Witherspoon. This comes from her wonderfully played lead role in Iron Man as Terrence Howard, the love interest of Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr.
Next year, we might see some of these highly talented actresses again making it to the top earners list. We may forget their achievements, but what will remain imprinted forever in our memory is the images of these unforgettable ladies.
