Lawrence, who [previously topped the *Forbes* list](https://money.com/highest-paid-actresses-jennifer-lawrence/) two years in a row, now ranks at No. 3, with earnings of $24 million in the last 12 months — just a little more than half of the $46 million she made in 2016. The *Hunger Games* star earned most of her money in the past year from the upcoming movies *Mother!* and *Red Sparrow*, along with an endorsement deal with Dior. Stone, who garnered significant attention last year with the movie-musical [*La La Land*](https://time.com/4756946/best-memes-2017-so-far/item/moonlights-surprise-oscars-win/), ranked as the highest paid actress with earnings of $26 million. Most of the money came from the success of the *La La Land*, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. At No. 2 on the list this year was Jennifer Anniston, who made $25.5 million from roles in movies like *The Yellow Birds* and endorsement deals with Emirates, Smartwater and Aveeno. Rounding out the top 5 on the [*Forbes* list](https://www.forbes.com/pictures/598b86c731358e60d775bca6/5-mila-kunis/#3cfc3bb763e1) were Melissa McCarthy with $18 million and Mila Kunis with $15.5 million. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-forbes-highest-paid-actress/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Celebrities", "item": "https://money.com/celebrities/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Jennifer Lawrence Was Just Dethroned as the World's Highest-Paid Actress" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-forbes-highest-paid-actress/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-forbes-highest-paid-actress/", "name": "Jennifer Lawrence Was Just Dethroned as the World's Highest-Paid Actress", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-08-16T16:50:17.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-forbes-highest-paid-actress/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-forbes-highest-paid-actress/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T06:35:35.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Jennifer Lawrence Was Just Dethroned as the World's Highest-Paid Actress", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/08/jennifer-lawrence-forbes-highest-paid.jpg", "width": 4200, "height": 2795, "caption": "Premiere Of Columbia Pictures' \"Passengers\"" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mahita Gajanan", "url": "https://money.com/author/mahita-gajanan/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/mahita-gajanan/#author", "email": "Mahita.Gajanan@timeinc.com", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/mahitagajanan" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-08-16T16:50:17.000Z", "description": "Jennifer Lawrence has been knocked down a couple spots on Forbes' annual list of the world's highest paid actresses.", "abstract": "Jennifer Lawrence has been knocked down a couple spots on Forbes' annual list of the world's highest paid actresses.", "@id": "https://money.com/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-forbes-highest-paid-actress/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-17T06:35:35.000Z", "wordCount": 199, "keywords": [ "Hollywood", "onetime" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Celebrity", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity" ] } ] } ] } ```
