ABC/Heidi Gutman(LOS ANGELES) — Scarlett Johansson made more bank last year than any other actress in the world.
That’s the official word of Forbes, which reveals that the star pocketed a cool $40.5 million between June 1 of 2017 and 2018, almost half of which came from Johansson’s $20 million paycheck for appearing as Black Widow in Marvel’s Avengers franchise.
A $20 million take is nothing to sneeze at, but it’s worth mentioning that Johansson’s Avengers salary was roughly half of her male co-star, Robert Downey, Jr.
Scarlett’s runner-ups were Angelina Jolie, who made just over million, and Jennifer Aniston, at .5 million.
None of these tallies include agent or management fees, or taxes.
Here’s the list of Forbes‘ top 10 highest-paid actresses:
1. Scarlett Johansson, $40.5 million
2. Angelina Jolie, $28.2 million
3. Jennifer Aniston, $19.5 million
4. Jennifer Lawrence, $18 million
5. Reese Witherspoon, $16.5 million
6. Mila Kunis, $16 million
7. Julia Roberts, $13 million
8. Cate Blanchett, $12.5 million
9. Melissa McCarthy, $12 million
10. Gal Gadot, $10 million
