Forbes Magazine released their annual Highest Paid Actresses list this week and, unfortunately, there were no women of color on the list.

Not Zoe Saldana, Taraji Henson, Paula Patton, Queen Latifah…all of which had successful projects this past year.

To figure out actresses’ earnings, Forbes talked to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine what the stars earned as upfront pay on movies they are currently shooting, as well as back-end pay earned after a movie hit theaters.

They also looked at any money actresses might have earned from perfume and clothing lines and from ad campaigns.
