Brad Pitt can't lose: Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston top Forbes' list of top-paid females in Hollywood

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.

Jolie2 Aniston 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.
