Forbes just released their choices for top 15 money-earners in the “Hollywood Mom” category – not “momagers” but the stars of film, stage, music and more. As Step-mothers often are in life, Sandra Bullock and Gisele Bundchen, ($33 million) were completely overlooked on the Hollywood “Mom” list. There are several powerful Hollywood Moms suspiciously missing from the list, like the biggest star of 2008 Tina Fey who earned $4.6 million, the comeback queen of 2008 Britney Spears at $2.25 million; and in the “Really??” category Mariska Hartigay earning a cool $7 million – really, who knew?. And while we don’t have their published salaries for 2008, one has to believe the cash cow that is Jennifer Lopez made at least what Forbes #15 Faith Hill did for selling off first rights for her twins’ photos. And where’s Kate Hudson ($14 million) on this list? Didn’t she make a film or two in 2008?
Here is the Forbes Short List:
- Madonna $110 million
- Reese Witherspoon $24 million
- Gwyneth Paltrow $20 million
- Julia Roberts $17 million
- Sarah Jessica Parker $15 million
- Angelina Jolie $14 million
- Heidi Klum $14 million
- Kate Winslet $12 million
- Kimora Lee $12 million
- Kelly Ripa $10 million
- Gwen Stefani $9 million
- Victoria Beckham $7 million
- Jessica Alba $6 million
