It's official folks, REESE WITHERSPOON is the highest-paid actress in the business.

The 31-year-old Oscar winner has beaten the likes of Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman to claim the number one spot in the Hollywood Reporter's annual female rich list - receiving a staggering USD $15-$20 million paycheck per picture. Not fair!

Angelina Jolie, 32, comes in second, though her salary for the current Beowulf picture was said to be a "mere" USD $8 million.

Diaz, 35, is placed third, with a USD $15 million per-movie salary demand, though her take-home earnings from the most recent Shrek installment are pegged at a very healthy USD $30 million.

Last year's number two, Nicole Kidman, 40, fell to fourth place, with an asking price of USD $10 million to $15 million a film.

Also in the USD $10 million to $15 million club are Renie Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts, despite not really doing anything since 2004. It's ok for some, isn't it!
