Forbes magazine just came out with its list of the richest 20 women in Hollywood. Judging by who's at the top, Brad Pitt can expect really nice birthday presents on Dec. 18, and Christmas a week later, no matter who he's romancing by then.
Forbes didn't sort through anyone's tax returns, so the rankings are purely speculation after conferring with Hollywood agents and studio types who know the art of such deals. But what's a decimal point or two among friends?
Angelina Jolie leads the way with an estimated $27 million earned from June 2008 through last month. Jennifer Aniston, still earning residuals from Friends to go with her movie career, is Jolie's runner-up (again) with $25 million.
Now all Pitt needs to do is start dating No. 3, Meryl Streep ($24 million) for the trifecta.

Thanks Cat! That does sound like a party. We'll be boating with Mr. and Mrs. T-Bone tomorrow, and if history is any indication, Saturday will be a day of rest. Have fun!
