Anna Paquin | AGE 38 | $14 Million

When Anna Paquin was nine years old, she followed her sister to a movie audition that was shooting in New Zealand. She ultimately bagged the role, beating out more than 5,000 other girls. The film, however, was a small independent project titled The Piano. Nevertheless, it still bagged three Oscars, including the award for Best Supporting Actress, which went to her. As of date, Paquin is still the second-youngest Oscar winner, having won at 11 years old.

Today, Paquin is widely known for her performance as the female mutant superhero “Rogue” in the X-Men movies. Aside from her remarkable role as Rogue, she is also famous for playing Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood’s television series. At the peak of the series, she reportedly earned a whopping $275,000 per episode. Paquin’s other notable film credits include 25th Hour, Almost Famous, and Margaret.
