Forbes credited Bullock's ability to portray roles in original story movies as the driving force behind her success.

New York Daily News cites the magazine stating:

"Movies based on original ideas that cost $100 million to produce and feature one actress for the majority of the screen time are [rare], but director Alfonso Cuaron and Warner Bros. had a huge hit with 'Gravity,'"

Bullock's other film, "The Heat," in which she co-starred with Melissa Mc Carthy was also a huge success. The film estimated to have earned $230 million all over the world.

To top off the Sandra Bullock news, Jennifer Lawrence snagged the number two spot in Forbes list, racking up $34 million within the same time span.

Jennifer Aniston comes in next after Lawrence, with estimated $31 million earnings. "Friends" residuals and the Aveeno endorsement contributed to the majority of Aniston's earnings.
