00:00 Angelina Jolie's $33 million Maleficent salary made her the highest paid female actor of
00:06 2013.
00:08 In addition to being a humanitarian, mother, and sex symbol, Angelina Jolie is a talented
00:14 actor and filmmaker.
00:16 She's often recognized for her ability to embody complex female characters who have
00:20 a hard edge but a warm heart.
00:23 One great example of such a character is her titular role in Disney's Maleficent in 2013,
00:29 which many recognize as one of Jolie's most iconic characters ever.
00:34 The film, which also starred Elphannina's Princess Aurora, was a huge success.
00:40 Jolie reportedly took home a huge payday of $33 million for bringing her star power to
00:45 the role.
00:46 Since then, she has starred in a 2019 sequel Maleficent, Mistress of Evil and is now in
00:52 pre-production for a third Maleficent film.
00:56 With her Maleficent salary, Angelina Jolie became the highest paid female actor of 2013.
01:03 Disney executives recognize that the star had the charisma and dailiest appeal necessary
01:08 to make the film a hit.
01:10 Forbes reports that the $33 million salary Angelina Jolie took home for Maleficent made
01:16 her the highest paid female actor of 2013.
01:20 Joining Jolie on the list for that year were Jennifer Lawrence, $26 million, Kristen Stewart,
01:26 $22 million, and Jennifer Aniston, $20 million.
01:31 But there is no doubt that Maleficent made it Jolie's year.
01:35 It wasn't the money alone, however, that drew Jolie to the role.
01:39 When promoting the sequel in 2019, Jolie told Vanity Fair that she deeply related to the
01:45 character and felt at home playing her.
01:48 "There have been times in my life where I have felt misunderstood, like Maleficent,
01:53 and not accepted," Jolie remarked at the time.
01:56 "I've been through different things."
01:58 "I've been through a lot of things. I've been through a lot of things. I've been through a lot of things."
02:05 "I've been through a lot of things."
02:07 "I've been through a lot of things."
02:09 "I've been through a lot of things."
02:11 "I've been through a lot of things."
02:13 "I've been through a lot of things."

03:57 - Things in my life and I was happy to play Maleficent again.
04:05 She continued, "She made me feel strong again.
04:09 You have to go through everything, the ups and downs,
04:12 because it leads to something bigger and greater
04:15 and makes you stronger."
04:16 For the sequel, she was reportedly paid $28 million upfront
04:21 and likely gained millions more as a producer.
04:24 Jolie has had a long and lucrative career spanning decades.
04:29 From her early gigs to her recent turn
04:31 in the Marvel entry "Eternals,"
04:33 Jolie is no stranger to Hollywood success.
04:36 And Disney isn't the only production company
04:39 to recognize her worth.
04:41 This has translated to some very lucrative movie deals
04:44 over the last couple of decades,
04:46 assuring her continued financial security.
04:49 In addition to her huge payouts for the "Maleficent" films,
04:52 Jolie has consistently earned an average salary
04:55 of about $15 to 20 million per film.
04:59 As The Things notes, other impressive payouts
05:01 she has received include the $35.5 million
05:05 she earned for her role in "Eternals,"
05:07 the $20 million she earned for "Salt" in 2010,
05:11 and the $19 million she earned for "The Tourist,"
05:14 which is impressive primarily because of how little time
05:17 she spent on screen.
05:19 As you might expect, Jolie's net worth
05:21 reflects her huge degree of success.
05:24 Besides just 2013, Jolie was also the highest-paid actor
05:29 in 2009 and 2011.
05:32 So there is a reason she has been able to demand
05:35 such large paychecks.
05:36 Her endeavors in producing have also brought an income
05:39 outside her acting paydays.
05:42 As of 2022, Angelina Jolie's net worth
05:45 was reported to be about $160 million.
05:49 This number accounts for her film industry roles,
05:52 but also includes some of the other sources of income
05:55 she has, such as modeling endorsements.
05:58 For instance, she was paid $10 million
06:01 to appear in ads for Louis Vuitton in 2011.
