Time for the ladies!
Forbes released its annual list of highest-paid actresses!
Coming out on top is the one and only Jennifer Lawrence. (She also topped the “Highest Grossing Actors” list in 2014)
J-Law made an estimated $52 million this year!
Scarlett Johansson followed with $35.5 million, which is a pretty significant drop from number 1.
Funny gal Melissa McCarthy came in third place with $23 million.
Combined, the top 10 actresses made $281 million.
It’s quite shocking to see how large the gender pay gap is for female actors vs. male actors.
Forbes released the list of male actors earlier this year and the highest paid actor, Robert Downey Jr. made $80 million alone.
What the heck is the deal Hollywood? I’m sure J-Law is worthy of the same salary as a man!
We need this to change!
Check out the rest of the list below or at the website:
1. Jennifer Lawrence: $52 million
2. Scarlett Johansson: $35.5 million
3. Melissa McCarthy: $23 million
4. Bingbing Fan: $21 million
5. Jennifer Aniston: $16.5 million
6. Julia Roberts: $16 million
7. Angelina Jolie: $15 million
8. Reese Witherspoon: $15 million

Forbes has released its annual list of the highest-paid actresses, confirming that Jennifer Lawrence is, in fact, your richest best friend. Forbes tracked pre-tax income of the world’s biggest movie stars, and found that J.Law made $52 million this year, ahead of the rest by nearly $20 million. Second in line was Scarlett Johansson, followed by Melissa McCarthy.
The list tracked stars all over the world for their list, but only one non-American made the top 10. Bingbing Fan, a Chinese superstar who appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past, made a whopping $20 million and placed fourth.
Combined, the top 10 made $281 million–but the gender pay gap is massive. The highest-paid actor, Robert Downey Jr., made $80 million last year. Plus, The Hunger Games is one of the few blockbuster franchises with a female leading role.
