Largely thanks to the $12.5 million (plus a share of the profits) she received for each of the two-part The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn films, Stewart dethroned reigning queens Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker, who last year shared the crown with an estimated $30 million each. The two women dropped to numbers four ($20 million) and seven ($15 million), respectively.
And it's a safe bet to say that she will have a place on the list next year as well. The fifth and final installment in the Twilight film series, Breaking Dawn: Part 2, comes out in November.
Rounding out the top three were Cameron Diaz, 39, who had a banner year thanks in part to Bad Teacher, and Sandra Bullock, 47 – who, according to Forbes, is still collecting from her Oscar-winning turn in 2009's The Blind Side.
Other actresses in the Top 10 include Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker.
