I like this. They’re equally talented, but Emma is at least super likable.
Talent wise I think Emma is more talented than frequently dead behind the eyes JLaw but Jennifer Aniston is always 2nd or 3rd so I guess it’s not based on talent, lol.
Not hating on Aniston either, get money tbh.
Isn’t Aniston’s pay due to plugging products (honest question since she hasn’t been in a big film for awhile)?
Yes, I saw some TV clip about this list last night, she has a couple of big product deals and the hair care company she invested in sold for a profit.
If I could make $20+ million for a few commercials, I wouldn’t waste my time making a bunch of movies either!
The only reason Jennifer is on that list is because of endorsements and not movies. She gets less than 2 millions for movies these days.
If Forbes had any credibility they will make a list of actresses salaries from just acting to see who earned the most.
Your wrong she got big money for spy movie red sparrow that she completed. You saying she only gets two million a pic is ridiculous and a outright lie. I love both actresses and glad they are friends. I don’t like the pitting of actresses against each other. the media likes to do this unfortunately they know people will feed into this.
Cami I think she’s referring to Jennifer Aniston, not Lawrence.
It’s a weird list, including endorsements the way it does, and it varies so much depending on the types of films, release dates, etc. Someone going from a year of a franchise sequel or two and then doing an independent or low budget movie is going to really drop, but may still be very much in demand. What’s always telling is how non-diverse the lists usually are, and how much higher the top 10 men are vs. the top 10 women.
@Cami: as Lucy mentioned, I was referring to Jennifer Aniston and not Jennifer Lawrence.
Don’t get the ‘dead behind the eyes’ comment about Lawrence at all. A quick look at the Mother trailer should rebut that…
I see Emma’s money came from her once-off back-end deal on La La Land profits, whereas Lawrence is still getting more up front per film. Makes sense. Good to see two talented actresses at or near the top of the list.
Stone, Lawrence, and Aniston are all bland to me. None of them can compete with the likes of Amy Adams, Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, or Meryl Streep. Also, I just started watching Orphan Black and have been amazed by Tatiana Maslany. I think when it comes to talent, Maslany is way above Stone, Lawrence, and Aniston. It’s just that some people luck out and make it to the Hollywood A-list, or get tons of endorsements, while others with more talent are relegated to television and supporting actor roles with little to no fanfare. This list only talks about money but I absolutely do not equate money with talent in any profession. Look at the people running this country and our corporations, then you will realize that a lot of other factors come into play besides intelligence, talent, or common sense.
Tatiana is amazing, the work she has done on that show has been spectacular. I hope she’s able to transition into a great film career or whatever else she wants to do. I like Emma and Jen A in the right roles, but I don’t think they have the range of the other actresses you listed, Nicole and Amy in particular. I think JLaw might get there, I’ve liked her in most things.
Did you guys noticed how “likeble” and praised actresses are always older than 35? I wonder why that is…
Maturity and honing one’s craft is a factor, so I’m sure the older an actor gets, the better he or she typically becomes at technique, range, etc., but not always. Tatiana Maslany is only 31-years-old, so she already had shown immense talent when she was cast in her mid-20s to star in Orphan Black.
I actually think some actors start off at their peak, but sell out, or do not put much effort into improving their craft once they become famous. I remember seeing Kate Winslet when she was in her early 20s and thought she was amazing. These days she’s become too Hollywood for my taste. Same with Reese Witherspoon, who had more edge when she was in her 20s, but has now grown more into her type-A personality and has lowered herself a lot of the time to silly romcoms. As a teenager I definitely saw potential in Michelle Williams when she was on Dawson’s Creek, and also preferred her at that age to whatever Twiggy impersonation she’s trying to do now. So it depends.
Tatiana Maslany is going to be in a movie with Jake Gylenhall (sp?) this fall about the Boston marathon bombings. I hope it gets her even more recognition and more opportunities!
I just started the last season of Orphan Black, and am desperately trying to avoid spoilers because I am so behind.
Aniston is not even close to being in the same league as Emma and Jennifer Lawrence.
Emma has talent, JL showed promise, but with so many flops behind her, she’s losing whatever it was she had. Aniston has no talent beyond being the weak link in the sitcom “Friends”.
Tiffany, Maslany will likely have a career similar to Gyllenhaal’s in that both are excellent yet underrated actors who receive a lot of critical acclaim, but not the type of hype that will get them nominated every year for an Oscar like JLaw. Their movie about the Boston marathon bombings will probably garner some awards and critical acclaim, but I doubt it will be a blockbuster. It’s still nice to see Maslany and Gyllenhaal work together. I think they are both among the most talented actors of their generation.
It’s based on what your PR agency reports to Forbes. Aniston makes literally no money from films, how is she always on the list, it’s preposterous.
When Angelina made an absolute fortune for Maleficent, and it was a HUGE amount, Forbes still ranked Aniston and some other D-Listers as making more. Angie had no PR guru making up numbers for Forbes. It’s nothing but PR shite, and people would have to be a fool to believe them.
Gisele outed them a few years ago when the IRS audited her because Forbes reported some outrageous (and totally fake) amount she supposedly made for the year. She said it was total BS.
No woc in the top ten… Anyway I’m glad to see Amy Adams is getting paid a lot.
Good to be white, right? I hope in my life time I can see a POC get the #1 spot on one of these lists. Maybe she could give some of that money to charity, just googled “Emma Stone charity” for results within the last year and got ZERO, that is disappointing…
Are you forgetting Oprah?! She was one of the richest PEOPLE in the world…for a long time! She’s still worth BILLIONS!! Not only a woman, a woman of colour!! Not much of an actress, but she’s rich!
ETA: it is a small representation, though….not trying to dispute that fact.
So because it’s not google she doesn’t give to charity? You dickhead
Really? Check out the top 100 celebrity full list. top 1 and top 2 are POC.
…or it means Emma is quiet about it and doesn’t issue a press release every time she makes a donation?
Give it a break. Look at the actors’ list and the full list. 6 out of top 10 actors are POC. And a lot of POC in the top 100 in music, comedy, reality shows, sports industry.
I saw someone’s Twitter reaction to the list about “Asian actresses” finally having their moment. Made me laugh.
*Giggle-snort*
OMG, Barcelona.
Horrible and people are filming videos and putting on twitter.
Big hugs to our friends in Barcelona. Mucha fuerza 🙁
People on both sides of the aisle need to stop making excuses for white supremacists, Nazis, nationalists, as well as religious conservatives/extremists of all stripes. I’m so done with tribal mentality when it comes to both race and religion, especially when these extremists are crazy enough to think it’s worth taking innocent lives to further their race/religious agenda. It’s 2017 and a majority of the earth’s population still haven’t wised up to the fact that religion is nothing more than mythology, and at most a traditional practice that is part of various cultures, and should not be taken literally. I really don’t know how long it will take for the human race to evolve into more intelligent beings. Perhaps it will never happen.

Years ago, I dated a guy who had a huge crush on Emma Stone. He was also a huge Tina Fey fan, and all he wanted was a movie written by Tina Fey and starring Tina and Emma. (He was and is a great guy.)
Now that Emma is the top earner, can we agree she’s a big enough talent that such a project is totally bankable and needs to go into pre-production immediately?
I think Emma could really nail Tina Fey’s tone of writing. I’d watch that movie!
Good! I find Emma to be a much more interesting (and more talented) actress.
But what is she wearing in that pic?? Did she lose a bet?
Just a heads up, the comments section is very distorted on the desktop (non-mobile) site!
I guess; wasn’t interested in La La Land. I saw that movie the Easy A and thought it was flat but it got her a lot of attention by the execs. I have no strong feelings about her either way but I do not care for Jennifer Lawrence.
I think they are all overrated and this is me being nice.
My hearts goes to victims of Barcelona attack. Wonderful city, wonderful people, such a disturbing day…
It was a very weak year for actresses, compared with previous years when top billed actress earned 50M+. And no one talked about the actors list? Mark Wahlberg earned 68M.
I’m going to miss Jaime. The Lannisters are the best actors in this show and toroughly entertaining as a family. The Stark are (were?) good people, but they are dull af, yes, even Arya who is nothing but a giant cliché.
