She’s only 25 years old but Jennifer Lawrence has dominated Hollywood for nearly 5 years now. This was affirmed when yesterday Forbes released their top highest paid actresses list of the past year. It was no surprise that the Hunger Games star topped the list. But the margin by which she toppled the competition was tremendous. She didn’t just dominate the list. Lawrence made more than most of Hollywood’s leading ladies combined and more money than most people will ever see in their entire lives.
While her current net worth is listed at $40 million, that number is most surely going to rise as long as Lawrence remains smart with her finances. The other women that lead the list were Scarlett Johansson, Melissa McCarthy, and BingBing Fan who all topped $20 million, but obviously nowhere near as close as Lawrence’s total.
But it was awfully surprising to see names like Mila Kunis, Emma Stone or even Meryl Streep make less than $10 million. Here are the top 18 highest paid actresses, as revealed on CBS This Morning, yesterday (full list to be revealed later on Forbes):
Jennifer Lawrence: $52,000,000
