HOLLYWOOD - Walk the Line star Reese Witherspoon is officially the highest-paid actress in the business.
The 31-year-old Oscar winner has beaten the likes of Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman to claim the No. 1 spot on The Hollywood Reporter's annual female rich list--receiving a staggering $15-$20 million paycheck per picture.
A Mighty Heart star Jolie, 32, comes in second, though her salary for new movie Beowulf was said to be a "mere" $8 million.
Diaz, 35, is placed third, with a $15 million-per-movie salary demand, though her take-home earnings from the most recent Shrek installment are pegged at a very healthy $30 million.
Last year's No. 2, Kidman, 40, fell to fourth place, with an asking price of $10-$15 million a film.
Also in the $10-$15 million club are Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts, despite an absence from the screen since 2004.
The full list is:
1. Reese Witherspoon - $15 million-$20 million
2. Angelina Jolie - $15 million-$20 million
