Cameron Diaz and Will Smith: Rolling in Cash
WENN

Will Smith and Cameron Diaz have been named by Forbes as the top earners of actors for their gender. Raking in a whopping $80 million from June of last year until this past June, Smith scored with such box office successes as Hancock, The Pursuit of Happyness and I Am Legend.

The top ten best-paid actors made almost double what the top ten highest-earning actresses pulled in over the same period of time. Number-one banking Shrek actress Cameron Diaz managed to take home an impressive $50 million.

Clearly it pays to be a man in Hollywood. However, in terms of media moguls, Oprah Winfrey is playing in a completely different field altogether, raking in $275 million. That's how she can afford such fancy clothes
