Scarlett Johansson ranked highest-grossing actress in Hollywood

The 31-year-old is the only female actor in the top 10 and the youngest by 20 years, with her films making over $3.3bn in the USA alone, placing her above Matt Damon, Liam Neeson and Will Smith. The top five is rounded out by Samuel L. Jackson ($4.64 billion), Morgan Freeman ($4.4 billion), Tom Hanks ($4.3 billion) and Johansson’s Avengers co-star Robert Downey Jr.

Reports show that the Avengers star has earned a staggering $3.3 billion over the course of her career. Cameron Diaz is the only other high grossing actress in the top twenty.

Johansson, 31, is by far the youngest actor on the top 10 highest paid actors list. This database is known for measuring how much money movies featuring a specific actor actress have made in the USA, and it is definitely clear that this bad-ass chick’s films are making some serious bank! Throughout her showbiz career, Scarlett has brought a whopping $3.3 billion to U.S. box offices for her starring roles in The Avengers, The Jungle Book and Her, among other blockbusters.

Johannson previously spoke about the gender wage gap in Hollywood, saying she is very fortunate to be making a good living.

The highest-grossing chart is dominated by actors and actresses who have appeared in blockbuster film franchises. At least, according to Box Office Mojo. “It’s part of a larger conversation about feminism in general”. “It is staggering when you take into account how young she is”, Rotten Tomatoes senior editor Grae Drake told TheWrap. The actress will play a “punk-rock porcupine” in animated musical film “Sing”, which also stars Matthew McConaughey.
