Hollywood Pays Black Men Big But Not Black Women

Will Smith made the most money of any Hollywood movie star in 2007, $80 million, and Eddie Murphy was in third place right behind Johnny Depp with $55 million, but no black women were in the top ten Hollywood women movie star wage earners. Unfortunately, Hallie Berry's 2004 Catwoman debacle probably does not help this situation much [we love you Hallie].
