The top 10 highest-paid movie stars in Hollywood? A bunch of dudes...and Angelina Jolie.

The Oscar winner was the top-earning female actress in 2013 with $33 million, according to figures used in a report compiled by the Women's Media Center, but her seemingly to-die-for paycheck was only just big enough to put her on par with the, er, lowest-earning (you know, in Hollywood dollars) male actor, Denzel Washington.

Who's tops? Robert Downey Jr., of course, with a $75 million haul from the Iron Man franchise, per the New York Film Academy.

Liam Neeson was the 10th-highest-paid male star, with $31.5 million, allowing just enough room for Jolie (who, while some of her top-earning male counterparts have been nominated, is the only one other than Washington to have won an Oscar) to squeeze in at No. 10 overall.

The ubiquitous Channing Tatum trailed RDJ last year with $60 million, while Hugh Jackman was next with $55 million, followed by Mark Wahlberg, with $51 million.

Dwayne Johnson is the not-so-surprising sixth-place hunk (his box office was bigger than Downey's last year), ahead of Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise, Washington and Neeson.

As for the ladies who also had what can still be considered a very good 2013, Jennifer Lawrence was second to Jolie with $26 million. Kristen Stewart ($21.5 million), Jennifer Aniston ($20 million) and Emma Stone ($16 million) rounded out the top five.
