For the second time in a row, Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence tops Forbes’ list of the World’s highest paid actresses of 2016. “The Hunger Games” star and 26-year-old Oscar winner banked $46 million before taxes over 12 months, which came largely from the profit cut she got from the final Hunger Games sequel and the paycheck she received for her role in the upcoming movie, Passengers.
J Law beat Melissa McCarthy, the second-highest actress, by $13 million. McCarthy starred in the “Ghostbusters” remake, which boosted her earnings by $10 million, making her the biggest earnings gainer over the previous year, according to Forbes. J Law’s total is down 11.5% from $52 million in 2015, the year she starred in the third movie from “The Hunger Games” series.
Jennifer Aniston takes the number four spot, with Forbes pointing out that her advertisements for Emirates airlines, Smartwater, Aveeno and Living Proof comprise a chunk of her $21 million earnings.
ET reports that altogether, the world’s 10 highest-paid actresses made a combined $205 million between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2016. Half of the women on the list this year are over 40, though Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, Kristen Stewart, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz all dropped off the top 10. According to Forbes, the earnings estimates “are based on data from Nielsen, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, as well as interviews with agents, managers and lawyers.”
