Angelina Jolie Is The Biggest Movie Actor In The World

Forbes says “Angelina Jolie is the most powerful celebrity on the planet.”

Here’s a link to their video about it…they calculate the number of magazine covers, etc.

Whether You Call Her Actor Or Actress…

Forbes also says:

“Angelina Jolie’s fame  goes unchallenged, even by Oprah.”

–Wouldn’t the salary, the wages, the earnings, the numbers, challenge that assertion?

Ever hear the saying: The-numbers-don’t-lie…?

If that’s true, then…

Interviewing, which is what Oprah does; is considered far more valuable, in our society, than acting.  (Or rather, was, she’s giving up her talk show.)

In other words, talking to actors is valued more; than the art-of-acting, itself.


Ms. Jolie Is  NOT The Highest Paid ACTOR In Hollywood.

Show-you-the-money:

“All told, the top 10 actors earned $393 million, compared with $183 million for the top 10 actresses.”

–Forbes

This math is the simplest.Don’t even need to carry the ’1′ in this subtraction….

Angelina Jolie is The Highest Paid ACTRESS… Huh?

Jolie’s cinematic butt kicking made her the highest-paid actress on our annual Celebrity 100 list. Between June 2008 and June 2009, Jolie earned an estimated $27 million. Much of that came from her share of the profits on Wanted, but she also scored a fat upfront check for Salt, an action film…

To figure out earnings, [Forbes] talked to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine what the stars got as upfront pay on movies they are currently shooting, as well as back-end pay earned after a movie hit the theaters. We also looked at any money actresses might have earned through their perfume or clothing lines.

As is still typical for Hollywood, our actresses earned significantly less than their male counterparts...

And the following veers from the scientific…

But I wonder…

…Is there something special about Brad Pitt’s member?

Because…

–The Two Actresses Heading The Forbes Top 10 Actress Earners List

Are:

#1 Actress Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt’s current mate  —–[$27 million]

Perhaps it’s not his member, but just his Midas Touch?

But all the same, and just because he has one…..

[...a member, that is..of any special abilities, or not...]

Brad Pitt Earned More Money

…than either one of the two female acting talents, mentioned above.

BUT, on the  list of actor-earnings-by-gender, he comes in lower.

The NINTH Top Earning Male Actor In Hollywood is Brad Pitt… listed at earnings of $28 million,  this year.

So Who Is The Number ONE Male Actor On The List Of Top Earners?

Harrison Ford.

He got “back end” of the Indiana Jones movie, which means percentage of earnings.

Actor Harrison Ford earned 58-million-dollars, this year.

He doesn’t seem to  have “The Pitt- Midas Touch”.

Though, he does seem to have a very good agent.

Best,
