SCARLETT FEVER
Beauty tops list of best paid female film stars
SEXY Scarlett Johansson is the world’s highest paid actress.
She pulled in £31.8million between June 2017 and June 2018, topping Forbes’ list of Hollywood’s top earning women.
Playing the Black Widow in Marvel’s Avengers movies has been a lucrative move for the
33-year-old who will reprise the role for next year’s fourth film.
Girl With A Pearl Earring star Scarlett beat Angelina Jolie into second place.
The mum-of-six earned £22m last year after landing a big pay cheque for her role in Maleficent
2, which she is currently filming. Jennifer Aniston, 49, is third on the list, despite having few acting roles in the past year as the Marley And Me actress cashed in on her slew of endorsement deals.
Her contracts with Smartwater, Emirates Airlines and Aveeno took her earnings over £15.3m.
The push for more diversity onscreen has seen newcomer Gal Gadot rocket to number 10 in the list after taking home a bumper pay packet for her role in the new Wonder Woman franchise.
Director Patty Jenkins chalked up the blockbuster success of the female superhero to the changing face of Hollywood.
She said: “The industry has had a hard time shifting to acknowledging that they need to hit a more diverse audience.”
SCARLETT Johansson has been named the world’s highest paid actress, raking in £31.8million a year.
Perhaps she can afford that other pearl earring now.
