Jennifer Lawrence has been announced as the highest-paid actress in the world in a recent Forbes' list.

With a whopping pre-income tax per annum of $52 million (£33 million), the news of The Hunger Games actress comes shortly after The World's Highest Paid Actors' list was revealed earlier this month.

Today the magazine published The World’s Highest Paid Actresses 2015, and after coming 2nd last year, it's only fair J-Law got the top spot this time. Afterall she does seem to work really, really hard.

More news!

In fact, J-Law makes so much money, she's even beaten all the highest paid actors in the world, bar the top-earner Robert Downey Jr.

Some of the famous female faces below J-Law have resumed the same spot as last year, including Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Angelina Jolie.
