Jennifer Lawrence Is This Year’s Highest Paid Actress
Forbes Magazine has released its annual list of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, and Jennifer Lawrence is the highest paid actress for the second year in a row.
The actress raked in $46 million before taxes from June 1, 2015, to June 1, 2016. Most of her millions came from the final “Hunger Games” film that came out in November, and her upcoming movie, “Passengers.”
Melissa McCarthy came in second with $33 million, thanks to her 8-figure paycheck for the summer film, “Ghostbusters.” Scarlett Johansson took third place at $25 million.
Jennifer Aniston moved up one spot from last year to fourth place at $21 million. Chinese actress Fan Bingbing took the fifth spot with $17 million. The top 10 was rounded out by Charlize Theron, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts, Mila Kunis and Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, who all made at least $10 million.
A few A-listers slipped off last year’s list, including Angelina Jolie, Kristen Stewart, Reese Witherspoon and Anne Hathaway, who all made last year’s list.
