JENNIFER LAWRENCE HAS been named the world’s highest paid actress by Forbes magazine, with earnings of $52 million (€46.1 million) pre-tax over 12 months.
Not too shabby for a 25-year-old.
It wasn’t a tight race either, second highest paid, Scarlett Johansson was $16.5 million behind, taking in $35.5 million last year.
Melissa McCarthy ranked third, taking in $23 million thanks to Spy and Tammy, and the launch of her new all-sizes clothing line.
Chinese actress Fan Bingbing was the only non-American to make the list. She ranks fourth, with earnings of $21 million.
Last year’s highest paid actress Sandra Bullock saw her earnings fall from $51 million to $8 million.
Forbes notes that the top 18 actresses earned a combined $281 million, $660 million less than the world’s highest paid actors, at $941 million.
The list is compiled by figures based on Nielsen data, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, interviews, and all figures are before management fees and taxes.

Laytown and Mosley are still in County Meath
Fires are deliberately set in Mosney – Laytown every year at this time. They are set in not just one place. It’s too much of a coincidence to be done at every dry spell at Easter to be kids or teenagers.
Why is the smoke black? What has been used to fuel the fire?
@Ashling Visser Bishop: gorse…
