With earnings of USD110 million in 2008, Madonna topped Forbes’ list of Hollywood’s hardest working mothers. Madonna is followed by actresses Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The pop singer and mother of three, who was recently turned down in her bid to adopt a second child from Malawi, grossed USD105 million on her tour and sold nearly a million albums in the United States.
Reese Witherspoon, who earned an estimated USD24 million last year, was second on the list, followed closely behind by Gwyneth Paltrow with USD20 million in earnings.
In addition to her film career and raising daughter Ava and son Deacon, Witherspoon, who is divorced from actor Ryan Phillippe, is also the international spokeswoman for the cosmetics company Avon.
Paltrow’s role in the blockbuster film "Iron Man," which earned USD580 million worldwide, and her endorsements for Estee Lauder and shoe and handbag maker Tod’s propelled her to the third spot.
The list is based on estimated earnings of Hollywood mothers with at least one child. Earnings include album sales, salaries, box-office grosses and endorsements and licensing deals.
Mother of three Julia Roberts, who returned to the big screen in a starring role in the film "Duplicity," captured the fourth spot on the list, while actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who has a son with husband Matthew Broderick, rounded out the top five.
Angelina Jolie, who has six children but still earned USD14 million last year, came in sixth, followed by model and television presenter Heidi Klum, who is pregnant with her fourth child.
Best actress Academy Award winner Kate Winslet, who has two children, and singer and mother of three Faith Hill also made the list. More can be found at http://www.forbes.com/
