I know it can be slightly annoying when someone uses a phrase ironically, but in this case I feel like I must. Forbes just came out with their list of the highest paid actresses and “shock” Jennifer Lawrence is still number one.
Honestly, there are very, very few surprises on this list. Though, I will say I am a little surprised that Jennifer Aniston is higher on the list than Julia Roberts (didn’t she win an Oscar?) and Amy Adams (with all her summer blockbusters), but I guess Jennifer Aniston is a bigger box office pull. But the top three, I don’t think anyone can question.
So, if you haven’t seen the list yet, here it is:
1. Jennifer Lawrence – $46 million
2. Melissa McCarthy – $33 million
3. Scarlett Johansson – $25 million
4. Jennifer Aniston – $21 million
5. Fan Bingbing – $17 million
6. Charlize Theron – $16.5 million
7. Amy Adams – $13.5 million
8. Julia Roberts – $12 million
9. Mila Kunis – $11 million
10. Deepika Padukone – $10 million
And for those who aren’t sure who they are, Fan Bingbing is a Chinese actress, television producer and pop singer, and Deepika Padukona is an Indian film actress. Though I believe Jennifer Lawrence will probably stay at the top, I would keep my eye out for Margot Robbie, Alicia Vikander, and Emilia Clarketo be added to the list in the very near future.
