The respectable financial and economic magazine Forbes is famous for its collections of the richest and most successful people on the planet. Every year he publishes, among other things, a ranking of the highest paid actresses in the world, which clearly shows that men in cinema earn much more. However, the beautiful half of humanity has something to brag about.
First place
For the second year in a row, the top of the podium is occupied by American actress Jennifer Lawrence with an annual earnings of $ 46 million. It should be noted that she perfectly built her career and manages to act in independent cinema, receiving prestigious cinema awards for this, and in popular blockbusters, improving her financial condition from year to year. The highest-paid actress in the world earned such an impressive amount thanks mainly to the box office deductions for the second part of the Mockingjay franchise and the fee for participating in the new Passengers project, due in December.
Second place
The appearance of the Barbie doll and an absolutely perfect figure are not a guarantee of success, talent and charisma - this is what can really lead to it. Confirmation of this is the comedic American actress Melissa McCarthy. She literally in a couple of years imperceptibly and promptly flew up to the star Hollywood Olympus. The result is the second place in the ranking of “Highest-paid actresses of 2016”. It should be noted that a year ago she was the third. The star of Cops in Skirts, Slumber Party in Vegas and Spy earned $ 33 million, about a third of which was a fee for participating in the remake of the cult blockbuster Ghostbusters.
Third place
Completes the top three Scarlett Johansson. And it is not at all surprising that the officially recognized most beautiful actress is also very successful and wealthy. The blond beauty and favorite of Woody Allen literally “settled” in the Marvel universe. The basis of her income ($ 25 million), of course, is the Avengers franchise, where she plays the role of a “black widow”. However, in between, she manages to appear in more emotional films, in particular, “Ave, Caesar”.
Fourth place
In the memory of numerous fans, she is likely to forever remain the amusing optimist Rachel Green from the cult series Friends. However, this does not interfere with the development of her career - Jennifer Aniston is included in the list of "Highest-paid actresses in Hollywood and the world." She received part of her earnings of $ 21 million for participating in the film "New Year's Corporate Party", which will premiere in December. The main income of the actress comes from advertising, including Emirates Airlines.
Fifth place
The fifth place in the Forbes rating is occupied by a charming and fragile, like a china figurine, Chinese Fan Bingbing with an annual income of $ 17 million. She is familiar to a wide circle of viewers by participating in the blockbusters Iron Man No. and X-Men: Days of the Past Future. However, she owes her high position in the list this year to Chinese cinema. Projects with her participation have good ratings and box office at home. In particular, the comedy action movies "On the Trail", where Jackie Chan became a partner of Bingbing, and "League of the Gods."
Sixth place
Only half a million less and sixth place in the ranking went to models and the American actress Charlize Theron. Winner of the prestigious Oscar and her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the muse of fashion designer John Galliano over the years, like good wine, is only becoming prettier. To get into the list of "Highest paid actresses in the world" she was able thanks to hard work and excellent acting talent. Recent works include Mad Max: The Road of Fury, where Tom Hardy became a partner on the site, and the continuation of the fairy tale story Snow White and the Hunter 2.
Seventh place
In seventh place in the ranking is the refined and charming Amy Adams with a total fee of $ 13.5 million. She is rightfully considered one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood, as evidenced by the impressive filmography, five nominations for an Oscar and two statuettes of the Golden Globe in her piggy bank. The most famous films of recent years with her participation are American Scam and Big Eyes. Well, the basis of the fee in 2016 was made by the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Arrival ribbons.

The owner of the most beautiful smile in Hollywood, gorgeous and unique Julia Roberts takes eighth place in the ranking of "The highest paid actresses in the world." According to the latest data, all the films in which she took part, in total, earned more than two billion dollars at the box office. In addition to that rating, in 2010 it was for the 10th time in first place in the list of the most beautiful people on the planet. This year, she starred in the successful and noteworthy Harry Marshall project "Intolerable Ladies" along with Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Jason Sudeikis.
Ninth place
American actress of Ukrainian descent Mila Kunis earned $ 11 million and ninth place in the ranking. Her film career developed quite rapidly: from filming in advertising to high-budget projects. Now she is not only an actress, but also a model, collaborating with the house of Dior. In 2016, part of the earnings of M. Kunis is the fee from the comedy tape “Very Bad Mommies”.

Now she is one of the most sought after actresses in India, the owner of many national awards, as well as the founder of the Charity Fund.
Two highest paid actresses in Russia
Our viewer is not fed up with Hollywood alone. In terms of talent and beauty, Russian actresses are probably not inferior to their overseas colleagues, only their income is much less.
In the first place, according to the same Forbes magazine, Svetlana Khodchenkova, one of the few stars that can boast of participation in Hollywood projects, settled down. The amount of her fees is 1.7 million dollars. The viewer S. Khodchenkova was remembered and fell in love with her roles in such films as “Office Romance 2”, “Metro”, “Bless the Woman”, “Champions”, and in the series “A Short Course in a Happy Life”.
In second place in the Russian rating, Chulpan Khamatova is an actress of the Sovremennik Theater for 17 years. Occasionally starred in films including European directors. One of the latest works is the role in the tape of V. Becker “Good bye, Lenin!”. The amount of fees is $ 0.6 million. In addition to filming and serving in the theater, he is the head (together with Dina Korzun) of one of the largest charitable foundations in Russia.
