For the second year in a row, the odds are in her favor: Jennifer Lawrence is once again the world's highest-paid actress, notching $46 million pretax over 12 months-$13 million more than second-ranked Melissa McCarthy, who pocketed $33 million.
Lawrence's impressive earnings consist largely of a profit slice from the big box office gross ($653.4 million) of her final Hunger Games installment and a mammoth upfront fee for the forthcoming Passengers. Her total is down 11.5% from $52 million in 2015, but she remains the girl on fire, financially speaking.
These are the actresses who also made the list:
10 - Deepika Padukone / $10 million
9 - Mila Kunis / $11 million
8 - Julia Roberts / $12 million
7 - Amy Adams / $13.5 million
6 - Charlize Theron / $16.5 million
5 - Fan Bingbing / $17 milliom
4 - Jennifer Aniston / $21 million
3 - Scarlett Johanson / $25 milliom
2 - Melissa McCarthy / $33 million
