Sell Out Celebs: How Angelina, Nicole & Jessica Actually Earn A Living

Catherine Zeta-Jones does T-Mobile

Julia Roberts might be the $20 million woman on the big screen, but Catherine Zeta-Jones takes that title (and dollar figure) when it comes to the small screen. Though Mrs. Michael Douglas isn't doing Lifetime MOWs — she's doing T-Mobile, and raking in the cash. On Monday, Adweek's Gail Schiller is going to break down celebrity endorsement deals by the numbers. Perfect timing, too, because the high we got off seeing Bruce Willis shilling for a Japenese fuel company is starting to wane.

After the jump, the listicle you're looking for of the top earners in the sell out category — many of whom you'll only find in international ads. Wouldn't want Americans to know how they make $2 million in a day.

Catherine Zeta-Jones: T-Mobile, $20 million since beginning in '02
Angelina Jolie: St. John, at least $12 million over 3 years
Nicole Kidman: Chanel, $12 million over 3 years
Jessica Simpson: Guthy-Renker, $7.5 million over 3 years
Gwyneth Paltrow: Estée Lauder, $3 million per year (multi-year deal)
Charlize Theron: Dior, $6 million over 3 years
Julia Roberts: Gianfranco Ferré, $5 million over 1 year
Brad Pitt: Heineken, $4.5 million for one TV spot only
Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz: L’Oreal, $4 million each over 2 years
