Ka-ching!
Jennifer Aniston out earned her ex Brad Pitt by $7 million last year, according to Forbes' new Most Powerful Celebrity list.
The actress -- who appeared in box office bombs like Love Happens ($8 million opening weekend) and The Bounty Hunter ($20 million opening weekend) -- earned $27 million, while Pitt, who headlined Oscar-nominated Inglourious Basterds, banked $20 million. (Aniston is still paid hefty residuals from Friends and has a lucrative deal with Glaceau Smartwater.)

Unsurprisingly, Oprah Winfrey was named the No. 1 most powerful celeb, earning $315 million in the wake of the news that she'll step down from her talk show next year after 25 years on the air to launch her OWN network. Beyonce came in at No. 2 with $87 million, thanks to touring, endorsement deals ranging from Nintendo to L'Oreal and her House of Dereon fashion line.

James Cameron ($210 million thanks to Avatar), Lady Gaga ($62 million) and Tiger Woods ($105 million despite his cheating scandal) rounded out the top 5.
Tell Us What You Think
110billy bob, ethan hawke, johnny lee, mick jagger, etc etc all USED mangie for years. brad uses her too every day by refusing to marry her, she got knocked up to keep the one man she could ever get to stay by her side. pretty pathetic
Money cannot buy love. Since Maniston never gives away her money because of herselfishness no one cares how much she gets! Not even men! Single for life old witch.
Just goes to show you that money can't buy happiness.
i love jennifer! can't wait to see switch!
Even "Toilet Lips'" father, John Voight, has publicly stated that she needs psychiatric help. When you really think about it, all that Oscar crap over Girl Interrupted was generated because Jolie showed up to make the film and just behaved like her normal, psychotic self. I guess the only justice over the entire Brad-Jen-"Toilet Lips" thing is that Brad Pitt will be stuck with LISA ROWE every day of his miserable life...or at least until he becomes bored with her and moves into someone else's bed. Then he'll probably regret having kids with someone who belongs in a mental hospital. For the sake of those poor kids, I hope they don't end up developing Jolie's Borderline Personality Disorder or her deep-seated self-absorbtion.
Even "Toilet Lips'" father, John Voight, has publicly claimed that she needs psychiatric help. I wonder how long it'll take for her to get around to eating her own kids.
And if Jen's home is empty...it's because her so-called husband couldn't keep his own marriage vows and because Anglina Jolie is a morality free-zone. In "Toilet Lips" eyes, no marriage is sacred, despite her pathetic claims to the contrary.
Jennifer Aniston has more elegance, class, dignity and brains than both her ex- and his current girlfriend..."Toilet Lips"...a talentless, neurotic, self-absorbed, mental case. Angelina Jolie is both a walking advertisement for plastic surgery and a perfect candidate for Lithium.
@peacemaker, this takes into account ALL their earnings, and to the angelina ass-kissing editor of this article, the bounty hunter did NOT flop, do your research
jen enjoys her profession and is a hard working actress. congrats, jen.
She might be a million higher, but Brad earn more in reality, he is a producer and his earning more than his salary in film.
reality bites your comment doesn't even make sense! why would brad and angie look miserable in public if they're happy at home? you don't know what's happening behind close doors, all i know is that brad and jen were a happy couple because it showed
Susanna a question. Is it better to look happy in public when cameras are around while being miserable in private (brad and jen) or be happy in private and look miserable in public when cameras are around (brad and angelina)?
So they are saying she made more with two movies then he made with one.. tha is only logical.. yet Jolie managed to beat them both in the ranking without even releasing a movie last year. Plus Jolie gets a higher salary for her movies then Aniston. So with 15 to 20 million a picture Jolie will make more then Aniston unless Aniston works her ass off and make three movies to each of Jolie's. Interesting.
and to the people who say she spends alot of money on herself to look good, so what?! wasn't angie the one who recently got a facelift that resulted in those awful gills? everyone pays to make themselves look good and i don't see how that makes a person bad. jen has also been very charitable with her money, she's donated to children's hospitals and $500k to doctors without borders following the earthquake in haiti. you tell me what is it that defines a person? how many kids they have? whether they've won an oscar? what kind of man they're with? please people look in the mirror and ask yourself is this how you judge people?
tina says "she still comes home to a lonely empty house"............ so what huh? why do YOU haters care so much who jen is with? it's her life for f@cks sake. she's obviously one of those independent woman that puts themselves first ahead of any man, isn't this what women were fighting for all these years?!?!?! independence, freedom? why is it that when a man is single it's ok? please i can't believe the people actually commenting on this are women. and anyway jen has tons of friends that love her and who she spends time with, and that's more important than trying to fill that void by having tons of kids!
Love Happens cost $18 million to make and grossed $35 million worldwide. The Bounty Hunter cost $40 million to make and grossed $135 million worldwide. Why are you calling these two movies flops and only quoting their opening weekend box office. Over the long haul in domestic and worldwide markets, they made profits! All I did was go to box office mojo and type in the names of the movies. They will tell you the production cost and the domestic and worldwide grosses. That way you'll not be a dupe to tabloid spin on a star's box office pull. For those of you wondering why Jen is still working, this is why. Her movies are profitable.
