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

5. Julia Roberts ($16 Million)

Rank On List: 6 Julia Roberts might not cling to the same sense of relevance that she once did, back when she was Hollywood's biggest actress, but she has still managed - somehow - to end up as the six highest-paid actress in the world. Which is weird when you try to remember what the last Julia Roberts movie you saw was. Um... August: Osage Country, perhaps? And she was actually kind of insufferable in that. You can't fault that '90s run of great movies such as Pretty Woman, Hook, My Best Friend's Wedding and Notting Hill, though, whilst her best performance to date was in Steven Soderbergh's Erin Brockovich, was proved to be something of a tour-de-force and definitive proof that Roberts was capable of an Oscar-worthy turn when she put her mind to it. Presumably her salary in the upcoming remake of Secret In Their Eyes, co-starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Nicole Kidman, was a big one (and thus influenced her place on the highest-paid actress list), because she didn't even appear in a film in 2014.
