Jennifer Lawrence Is World’s Highest Paid Actress In 2015

NB: 2015 is the first year Forbes has factored actors and actresses working primarily in global markets into their rankings, so previous years exclusively include those working in the domestic film industry.

The magazine released its list of highest paid actresses and if you’ve been following JLaw’s career, this shouldn’t be surprising.

The Dior spokeswoman’s pay additionally made headlines earlier this yr when the Sony cyber assault revealed correspondence indicating that the Oscar victor and her “American Hustle” costar Amy Adams acquired decrease revenue cuts than their male counterparts, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Christian Bale.

However, Lawrence’s $52 million earnings is still far from the income raked in by highest-paid actors in the world, stated Vogue.

Looking at all the success and achievements Jennifer Lawrence has had since 2007, it’s no wonder she tops the list of the highest paid actresses.

The reason behind the limited number of actresses on the list is because Forbes basically couldn’t find enough actresses with high salaries to round out the list, whereas the list of the group of highly-paid men was never ending. Lawrence towered above Scarlett Johansson, second on the actress list with an estimated $35.5m, and Mike & Molly star Melissa McCarthy with $23m. Natalie Portman is ranked lowest amongst the top ten earning $6 million. Her $52 million list topper pales in comparison to the Iron Man actor’s million.

Furthermore, the list noted Johansson could dispute for more than $10 million per movie.

Jennifer Lawrence has had one heck of a year. How much does Lawrence earn? Bingbing Fan comes in fourth just after Melissa McCarthy with $21 million; and surprisingly well known actress Jennifer Aniston comes in fifth at $16.5 million almost tying with Julia Roberts who made $16 million. The “Bridesmaids” star has proven her ability to carry movies solo- “Spy” and “Tammy” grossed a combined $335 million worldwide. While Katniss Everdeen is short on bread, this celebrity certainly is not, as Forbes names her the highest paid actress of 2015. That’s a tidy sum, to be sure, but it’s sadly $660 million less than the 34 world’s highest-paid actors.
