10. Gal Gadot - $ 10 million

9. Melissa McCarthy - $ 12 million
Of the women on the 2017 list, Melissa McCarthy financially “fell” the most. Former star of the TV series “Mike and Molly”, who won second place in the 2016 Forbes women’s movie rating, now occupies only ninth position. However, $ 12 million is a very good result.

7. Julia Roberts - $ 13 million
Forever remaining in the hearts of the spectators as an immediate and smiling “Beauty” from the film of the same name, Roberts climbed to the seventh line of the top 10 after the successful premiere of the family movie “Miracle”. She also continues to earn money by advertising Lancome products.
6. Mila Kunis - $ 16 million
This actress managed to win sixth place in the list of Hollywood rich men thanks to such films as Bad Mom 2 and The Spy Who Threw Me.
5. Reese Witherspoon - $ 16.5 million
The star of "Big Little Lie" receives impressive income for his work. For each episode, she is paid a million "American presidents." In addition, Reese, along with her acting colleague Jennifer Aniston, is the producer of Apple's new show. This will be a remake of the series “Amazing Stories”, released in the 80s of the twentieth century.
4. Jennifer Lawrence - $ 18 million
28-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, who starred in the "not taking off" films "Red Sparrow" and "Mom!" nonetheless one of the five most successful actresses in the world. She continues to earn a role in X-Men and a contract with fashion brand Christian Dior. Her income of $ 18 million is $ 6 million less than the previous year.
Jennifer Lawrence was the highest paid actress for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016, but her place in the ranking is gradually declining without the Hunger Games.
3. Jennifer Aniston - $ 19.5 million
While most of the actresses on the list received most of their income from films, other stars, such as Jennifer Aniston, make money from past projects and advertising contracts. Aniston is still earning millions of dollars for the super-successful Friends series, as well as for appearing on Emirates Airlines commercials, Coca-Cola's Smartwater brand and Johnson & Johnson's Aveeno brand.
And Aniston's place in the top 10 is likely to remain safe, because for every episode in the upcoming Apple sitcom, she will receive more than a million dollars. There she will play in tandem with another member of the list of millionaire actresses, Reese Witherspoon.
2. Angelina Jolie - $ 28 million
Brad Pitt knows how to choose for himself not only beautiful, but also successful lovers. Already his second former passion was included in the ranking of the richest women in Hollywood. Thanks to the filming in the second part of Disney's Maleficent, Angelina deposited nearly $ 30 million into her account.
1. Scarlett Johansson - $ 40.5 million
The charming American of Danish-Jewish descent topped the list of the highest-grossing actresses of 2018. Most of her earnings came from the role of the superheroine Natasha Romanoff in the recently released science-fiction film Avengers: Infinity War.
The solo movie Black Widow is underway, although it does not yet have a release date. And next year, Scarlett will play one of the main roles in the fourth film from the Avengers franchise. Discussing the payment of remuneration, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feigi said: “There is certainly a strong bias in the percentage of budget expenditures, especially in‘ Avengers ’films, whereas before, there may have been more visual effects or lower bar. But that’s good, because (the actors) are the best effects. ”
This is not the first time Johansson has triumphantly climbed the financial podium of Hollywood. In 2016, again thanks to Avengers, she became one of the highest paid Hollywood stars.
