After being named as The World's Most Powerful Celebrity in 2009 by Forbes, Angelina Jolie has been crowned as Hollywood's Top-Earning Actress by the same magazine. Forbes has announced the complete list on Wednesday, July 1, and Brad Pitt's living partner nabbed the No. 1 spot, beating out Jennifer Aniston who only sat on the second position.

Angie topped the list with 27 million U.S. dollars which she earned between June 2008 and June 2009. Much of her income came from last year's movie "Wanted (2008)", which was added with an upfront payment for her upcoming flick "Salt".

Meanwhile, Brad's ex-wife Jennifer raked 25 million U.S. dollars mostly from her romantic comedy "Marley & Me" and the upcoming comedy "The Baster". In addition, Forbes reported, "Aniston also still earns money from (reruns of TV series) 'Friends' and she gets a nice paycheck shilling for Glaceau's SmartWater."
