Jennifer Lawrence is the highest paid actress in the world.
The 25-year-old skipped to the top of Forbes' annual list, after ranking in the number 2 spot last year, with estimated earnings of $52 million from June 2014 to June 2015.
The Hunger Games star earned nearly $20 million more than Scarlett Johansson, ranked number 2, who pulled in $35.5 million.
Coming in third place this year is Melissa McCarthy who earned an estimated $23 million - just $2 million ahead of Chinese star Bingbing Fan.
While last year's highest earner Sandra Bullock slipped down the rankings with only $8 million in earnings.
According to Forbes some of the more established marquee names (Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts) are only listed this year due to endorsement deals.
In fifth place is Jennifer Aniston with $16.5 while Roberts is just a half million behind the former friends star, ranking in at sixth.
Jolie is tied with Reese Witherspoon - both pulling in an estimated $15 million apiece. Anne Hathaway and Kristen Stewart are also tied with $12 million in earnings.
Cameron Diaz came in with $11 million, Gwyneth Paltrow with $9 million, while Meryl Streep is tied with Amanda Seyfried and Sandra Bullock with $8 million.
These numbers, however, still pale in comparison to men in Hollywood who continue to earn tens of millions more than their female counterparts.
Topping Forbes' list of highest paid actors for the third year in a row is Robert Downey Jr, thanks to his $80 million payday from blockbusters like Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Downey's earnings are a whopping $28 million more than Jennifer Lawrence's while Chinese megastar Jackie Chan, who is second on the list, pocketed $50 million, nearly $15 million more than his female counterpart Johansson.
Action star Vin Diesel raced to No. 3 with $47 million, after Fast & Furious 7 zoomed past a billion dollars at the global box office - over double what Melissa McCarthy earned.
Rounding out the top five were Bradley Cooper and Adam Sandler - both surprisingly earning more than Tom Cruise.
Cooper's $41.5 million haul from mega-hits American Sniper and Guardians Of The Galaxy put him at No. 4, while comedy star Sandler's four-film Netflix deal helped him collect $41 million despite his latest film Pixels being declared a flop.
Tom Cruise, who is riding high again at the box office with Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation, was No. 6 with $40 million.
