Forbes Determines That Nude Actresses Make Bank


The high-end glossy Forbes is used to compiling lists of the world's most beautiful thingsexotic sports cars, over-the-top mansions, picturesque small towns with excellent quality of life. But none of that can compare to their newest list, which includes gorgeous actresses like Naomi Watts, Jennifer Connelly, and Halle Berry.

This latest countdown lists the Hollywood actresses who offer the greatest return on a studio's investment.

The Hollywood Reporter explains:

They found actresses who commanded the highest prices, like Angelina Jolie who topped Forbes' list of the best paid actresses after banking $27 million in a year, were outranked by those earning around $5 million and under for a film.

Watts, 41, topped the list after the analysis found she helped the boxoffice make an estimated $44 for every $1 she was paid for her last three major films.

Of course, Mr. Skin has always known that Naomi offered a great pay-off, since she's a member of the elite Mr. Skin Hall of Fame for a career packed with nudity. But since this top 10 includes only actresses who have done nudity in their careers, it seems that studios should catch on and bet their wads on actresses who prove to deliver.

Forbes's complete list is as follows:

1. Naomi Watts
2. Jennifer Connelly
3. Rachel McAdams
4. Natalie Portman
5. Meryl Streep
6. Jennifer Aniston
7. Halle Berry
8. Cate Blanchett
9. Anne Hathaway
10. Hilary Swank
