The Rock is the world’s highest paid actor

If you would like to discuss another topic, look for a relevant article. For instance, Jennifer Aniston, who came in fourth at $21 million, made most of her money through endorsements from companies such as Emirates Airlines, Smartwater, Aveeno and Living Proof, according to Forbes.

In fact, Lawrence, who has topped the best-paid actresses list two years in a row, wouldn’t have even placed in the top five among actors. John Cena is most certainly paying attention as should be any other stars on the rise. He had reached No. 2 on the 2014 list, with $52 million. Wrong. The disparity between male and female earnings is absolutely astounding – and it turns out women are actually making less than in 2015.

“There are simply more big-budget roles for men that pay the high fees and cut of profits needed to score multimillion take-homes”, Forbes writer Natalie Robehmed notes.

“Ghostbusters” has made $208.2 million worldwide since debuting July 15, noted BoxOfficeMojo.com.

Lawrence is the world’s sixth highest paid actor. That’s over twice the amount the ladies made – twice.

What is a surprise – to me anyhow – was the second highest earner.

The 44-year-old star, who is worth a cool $125m, jumped ten places in the list after more than doubling his $31m income from the previous year. Good for you, Melissa! Ms. Lawrence, who wrote an essay in 2015 about the pay difference for actors and actresses, took in an estimated $46 million in 2016, according to Forbes. Vin Diesel: $35 million 8. Surely, anyone would have to star in at least a couple Blockbuster hits or own a wildly successful company, right?

Lots of work to do on the sexism in Hollywood front, that’s for sure. During the grading period, he was only paid for a single film – Captain America: Civil War. That diversified portfolio and constant movement is what helped him bring in $64-million past year (via Forbes).
