Stone tops list of highest-paid
Forbes released its annual list of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses Wednesday, and Oscar-winning “La La Land” star Emma Stone landed at the top of the heap, earning $26 million.
Last year’s top earner, Jennifer Lawrence, dropped to No. 3, bringing in $24 million before taxes.
Landing at No. 2 with $25.5 million is former “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston, thanks in large part to endorsements with companies including Smartwater and Aveeno.
Stone, Aniston and Lawrence were the only three women to top $20 million in earnings this year, compared with four last year.
Newcomers to the top 10 include “Beauty and the Beast” lead Emma Watson, tied at No. 6 with $14 million, and two-time Oscar winner and upcoming star of Marvel’s “Thor: Ragnarok” Cate Blanchett, at No. 8 with $12 million.
