According to Forbes magazine, Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker were the highest-earning actresses last year, with bankrolls that topped $30 million each.

Most of Jolie’s cash came from the worldwide success of her thriller “Salt,” which made $300 million, and “The Tourist,” which raked in $280 million, despite some bad reviews.

In an interview with MTV, Forbes’ Dorothy Pomerantz said “”People may be surprised to see Sarah Jessica Parker up there but they may not realize that in addition to acting, she earns big from her perfumes and endorsement deals. She earned $18 million in 2010 from her successful perfume line alone”

But the bulk of  Parker’s earnings came from her payments for reruns of her TV series “Sex and the City,” on which she is a producer and additional payments from the second “Sex And The City ” film, which took $290 million in international box office.

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are just behind the top earners; they each took home an estimated $28 million. Other actresses that made the list include Julia Roberts ($20 million), “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart ($20 million), Katherine Heigl ($19 million), Cameron Diaz ($18 million), Sandra Bullock ($15 million) and Meryl Streep ($10 million).
