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 number one spot in the Hollywood Reporter’s annual female rich list - receiving a staggering $15-$20 million (£7.5-£10 million) paycheck per picture.
Tomb Raider star Jolie, 32, comes in second, though her salary for the current Beowulf picture was said to be a "mere" $8 million (£4 million). Diaz, 35, is placed third, with a $15 million (£7.5 million)-per-movie salary demand, though her take-home earnings from the most recent Shrek installment are pegged at a very healthy $30 million (£15 million).
Last year’s number two, Nicole Kidman, 40, fell to fourth place, with an asking price of $10 million (£5 million) to $15 million (£7.5 million) a film.
Also in the $10 million (£5 million) to $15 million (£7.5 million) club are Renée Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts, despite an absence from the screen since 2004.
