After publishing the list of highest paid actors in world 2020, Forbes has released the list of highest paid female actresses 2020. With the earning of US$ 43 million, Sofia Vergara is a new in the ranking list gained the top position.  Sofia as the TV star led a surge of small-screen paydays that eclipsed those in the movie business.

In all, the ten highest-paid actresses earned a combined $254 million in the 12 months leading up to June, down 20% from last year. All but two—Angelina Jolie and Emily Blunt (No. 6; $22.5 million)—made the bulk of their earnings from television and streaming. Those who made most of their money from traditional films earned an aggregate of $58 million this year, down from $136.5 million in 2019. Let’s find out who are others and their earnings.

List of Top 10 Highest Paid Actress 2020

#1 Sofia Vergara: $43 million

Vergara concluded her run on ABC’s Modern Family and began her tenure as a judge on America’s Got Talent. She pads those earnings with endorsement and licensing deals, including a line of jeans at Walmart and furniture at Rooms To Go. 

#2 Angelina Jolie: $35.5 million 

One of the few actresses on the list to pocket nearly all of her money from traditional films, Jolie’s biggest paycheck comes from her starring role in The Eternals, the upcoming Marvel movie that has a $200 million budget.

#3 Gal Gadot: $31.5 million

With Wonder Woman 1984 on ice, Gadot turned to Netflix, collecting $20 million for her role in Red Notice. It’s a steep price, insiders say, but a tiny part of the streamer’s $17 billion content budget. 

#4 Melissa McCarthy: $25 million 

The comedic actress stars in two streaming films directed by husband Ben Falcone—one on HBO Max and one on Netflix—and hosts NBC’s Little Big Shots. Next year: her role as Ursula in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid.

#5 Meryl Streep: $24 million

The screen legend joined director Steven Soderbergh for the comedy Let Them All Talk, which was sold to HBO Max for $33 million. Streep’s cut of the action: at least $5 million. The rest came from The Prom and last year’s Little Women. 

#6 Emily Blunt: $22.5 million

The first A Quiet Place grossed $341 million on a $17 million budget, and Blunt negotiated an eight-figure upfront salary on the sequel, due out next year. Her role in Jungle Cruise will earn her a check in the high seven figures.

#7 Nicole Kidman: $22 million

Kidman will join Streep in Ryan Murphy’s The Prom on Netflix, which will pay her an eight-figure upfront salary. She will earn about $1 million per episode for her upcoming miniseries on HBO, The Undoing. 

#8 Ellen Pompeo: $19 million

After a contract renegotiation in 2017, Pompeo is earning about $550,000 per episode for her starring role on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. She reportedly adds about $6 million a year from her share of syndication profits.

#9 Elisabeth Moss: $16 million

Hulu paid her $1 million per episode to star in the dystopian The Handmaid’s Tale. She shared in the profits of Invisible Man, a surprise hit that cost just $7 million and grossed $134.3 million.

#10 Viola Davis: $15.5 million

Davis makes the list for the first time thanks to seven-figure checks from her roles as Annalise Keating on How to Get Away with Murder and Ma Rainey in Netflix’s film adaption of the August Wilson play Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. 

The methodology to calculate the earnings of these actors is based on data from Nielsen, ComScore, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, as well as interviews with industry insiders. All figures are pretax and reflect earnings between June 1, 2019, and June 1, 2020; fees for agents, managers and lawyers (generally 10%, 15% and 5%, respectively) are not deducted.

Though, Hollywood‘s these gorgeous beauties have multiple sources of earnings. But these actress hit movies make them popular among fans, resulting they charge a hefty amount of fees for brand endorsement and social media posts.

Forbes has released the list of highest-paid actors in the world 2020 in which Indian National Award-winning actor Akshay Kumar also secured the 6^th position leaving behind Hollywood‘s popular actors like Jackie Chan and Will Smith.

The top position is retained by action movie hero Dwayne Johnson who is also known as “The Rock” among the WWE fans. Thanks to Netflix and other OTT platforms these actors earned lots of money this year. So, let’s find out who are the others on the list.

List of Top 10 Highest Earning Actors 2020

The Rock tops the list for the second year in a row, thanks to a $23.5 million check from Netflix for the upcoming film Red Notice and his successful Under Armour line, Project Rock.

Again thanks to Netflix’s, Reynolds made more than $20 million a piece on Six Underground and Red Notice. In July, the streamer announced it was shelling out for a third Reynolds film, which will undoubtedly mean another eight-figure payday.

Wahlberg’s action-comedy Spenser Confidential became Netflix’s third-most-watched original film after it debuted in March. He’s also made millions producing docuseries McMillions and Wahl Street.

After a brief hiatus, Affleck returned to the big screen this year, starring in The Way Back and Netflix’s The Last Thing He Wanted.

The Fast & Furious Movies Series star missed out on the chance to collect a massive back-end payday this year after the film’s release was pushed to April 2021. He kept the franchise embers burning by acting as producer on the animated Netflix series Fast & Furious Spy Racers. 

The only Bollywood actor on the list, Kumar is working on his first television series The End for Amazon Prime. Most of his money, though, comes from endorsement deals; he shills for everything from multivitamins to toilet cleaners.

Disney acquired worldwide movie rights to the original Broadway production of Hamilton for $75 million this year, putting Miranda on the list for the first time. Even with Broadway closed for the remainder of 2020, he can expect another big payday next year when the film version of In the Heights comes out.

The Fresh Prince can still earn big checks for lead parts, such as his upcoming role in King Richard, in which he portrays Richard Williams, father of tennis greats Serena and Venus. He fills the earnings gaps with mobile phone hits, including a Snapchat series and his popular Instagram account.

The comedian has found his home at Netflix. In January, he signed another deal to create four more movies for the platform after his film Murder Mystery became one of the streamer’s most-popular films of all time.

Six decades into his career, the martial arts star is as active as ever, making five movies in the past year. He pads his film income with millions from endorsement and licensing deals.
