Ranking The World's 10 Highest-Paid Actresses From Worst To Best

8. Kristen Stewart ($12 Million)

Rank On List: 10 Kristen Stewart gets a lot of stick. Nowadays, it seems almost as though people are unwilling to give her a shot as a serious actress because she's "the girl from the Twilight movies," or because she cheated on former boyfriend Robert Pattinson with the director of Snow White and the Huntsman (and people don't like it when celebrities do that). Whilst that last thing isn't exactly flattering, it has nothing to do with Kristen Stewart the actress. And said actress is actually pretty good. Recently, she's really come into her own as a performer - a far cry away from Bella Swann (who wasn't a particularly interesting or animated character on the page, either, guys, c'mon). In February, she became the first American female to receive the prestigious César Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Clouds of Sils Maria, which is quite the achievement, wouldn't you say? Stewart is only getting better, and is sure to do great things as she hones her acting skills in the years to come. Not forgetting that she's the 10th highest-paid actress on Earth.
