Lucky people

I have a hard time believing that list. How in the hell would Kristen Stewart be anywhere close to the highest paid, and how is Kristen Wiig anywhere near that list.

As mentioned upthread, it's not about talent--it's about sales.

Twilight is a license to print money and Stewart is the "star". It would be virtually impossible for her not to make the list (Breaking Dawn was $25 million in salary for her on its own).

Wiig co-wrote and produced Bridesmaids, so probably had back-end points on a movie that turned a quarter-billion profit (it grossed about $280 million against a $30 million budget).
