American actress Kristin Stewart is just 22 years old, but she is now considered the highest paid actress in Hollywood today.
Stewart reportedly earned a whopping $34.5 million between May 2011 and May 2012 to become the highest paid actress in Tinseltown. The young actress earned huge money for her two films, Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 and Snow White and the Huntsman, which both earned big money at the box office.
Taking a close second in the survey conducted by Forbes magazine was A-list actress Cameron Diaz, who earned $34 million in the past year. Diaz received a huge paycheck for her film Bad Teacher, which earned $216 million on a tiny budget of $20 million.
The third spot on the prestigious list went to Sandra Bullock, who earned $25 million. Rounding up the remaining top five slots were Angelina Jolie at $20 million and Charlize Theron at $18 million. Stewart became a household name around the world after playing the role of Bella, the love interest of vampire Edward Cullen, played by her boyfriend Robert Pattinson, in the original Twilight movie.

I guess it shows that there are more younger moviegoers this day with a 22 year old topping the highest paid actress list.
Wow! I’m sure they’re paying high taxes too.
Although not exactly critically acclaimed, her movies are very entertaining and earn quite well in the box-office so her pay is probably worth it for the producers.
I had read an article in a magazine about actors and actresses and their salaries… it’s an OMG….
I like her and very simple. I watched on ET that she hates wearing dresses more so on the red carper.
I’m amazed on how much they earned a lot! Kristen Stewart is one of my favorite actress!
