Forbes Magazine has released its annual list of the 50 highest-paid actresses, with “Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence topping the list.

Lawrence earned $52 million pre-tax over the last 12 months.

Scarlett Johansson was second, with a revenue of $35.5 million. Melissa McCarthy has amassed $23 million, earing her the third spot on the list.

The only non-American actress to feature on the list was Chinese actress Bingbing Fan, who came in at number four.

The list also brought with it a very telling statistic. Compared to the highest-paid male actors list, the women’s combined earnings came in at $660 million less, confirming the gender-based pay difference in Hollywood.
