The World's Highest-Paid Actresses of 2016
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
