The salary grid for American cinema could be a misplaced subject during a recession. Forbes, however, has just published its own ranking of the ten best paid actresses . Hollywood being relatively stingy with young beginner stars – the first fee would reach $ 800,000 (around 630,000 euros) for the lucky ones – it is better to have a little bottle or a guaranteed role in a franchise to appear in the Top 10 .
This is the case of the youngest actress in the ranking who is 22 years old. Profits accrued for the first place amounted to $ 34.5 million. Amounts calculated by adding salaries, advertising benefits or percentages on receipts. Forbes finally notes that in Hollywood, men earn better a living than women. The Top 10 Actresses represents $ 200 million while that of Actors reaches $ 361 million.
