Angelina Jolie has topped the Hollywood Reporter's annual list of the highest paid Hollywood actresses.
The trade magazine says Jolie, who finished in second spot in last year's ratings, can command US$15 million per film, beating Julia Roberts and 2007 list winner Reese Witherspoon.
Jolie, 33, can currently be seen on the big screen in Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood. She reportedly received US$15 million for the movie Wanted, which could rise to US$20 million if a sequel is made.
Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry round out the top five, although their per movie pay has dipped under the US$10 million mark.
Other actresses in the top ten are Cameron Diaz, Katherine Heigl, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway and former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, who made US$8 million for comedy Marley and Me, which opens in the US on Christmas Day.
