Sandra Bullock

When it comes to female leads in Hollywood, Sandra Bullock is one of the most reliable. It should be no surprise then that she has been named one of the world’s highest-paid actresses for 2010 and 2014. On top of that, she has been named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2010. This isn’t just because of her work as an actress, of course. Though, to her credit, she has delivered many impactful performances over the years, including her roles in Miss Congeniality, Ocean’s 8, The Blind Side, and Bird Box.

Like a number of other celebrities, she has also delved into working outside of the spotlight. She owns the production company Fortis Films and was also the executive producer for the George Lopez sitcom. Bullock also owned Bess Bistro in Austin, Texas, which was in business for nine years before closing in 2015.
