Kristen Stewart bests Cameron Diaz to top Forbes' highest-paid actress list

PanARMENIAN.Net - Kristen Stewart is the new cash queen of Hollywood. The "Twilight" star has bested such established thespians as Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and Sandra Bullock to top Forbes' annual list of Top-Earning Actresses, TheWrap said.

According to Forbes, Stewart took in $34.5 million between May 2011 and May 2012.

That tally accounts for the $12.5 million she reportedly took in for each "The Twilight Saga -- Breaking Dawn" film, plus her new fairy-tale revamp, "Snow White and the Huntsman."

Oh, and did we mention that, at 22, Stewart is also by far the youngest actress on the list?

For fans of celebrity rivalries, it's probably also worth noting that Stewart handily beat out her "Huntsman" co-star, who only earned $18 million, according to Forbes.

Forbes took upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work when compiling its tallies.

Diaz came in a close second, taking in an estimated $34 million based on the unexpected hit "Bad Teacher," and other entries such as "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "The Green Hornet."

Sandra Bullock rounds out the list's Top 3, with an estimated $25 million earned between May 2011 and May 2012.
