Ka-ching: these are the seven highest-paid actresses in the world

If you sometimes feel frustrated about not having received a raise in years: let it go. And go act. Because what you earn as a woman at the top is incredible.

Emma Stone probably won't be too upset, because, well, she has been at number one for quite a while. But now there is a new actress who knocks her off the throne. Which actress gets paid the most to immerse herself in a role? Scarlett Johansson, of course. She is currently the highest-paid actress in the world. She earned about 35.6 million euros in the past year, including for her role as Black Widow in the Avengers films.

She beats out stars like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. They still earn a ton of money, even if it's just from commercials and sponsorships. And, surprisingly, that sweet Emma Stone who won last year is not in the top ten this year. But hey, with those millions already in her bank account, she probably won't lose any sleep over it.

Quickly look up those acting classes and go for the 2019 list. Hop. Because, it's good to remember: you're never too old to break through. In fact, sixty percent of this highest-paid list consists of actresses aged 40 or older. In other words: go for that career switch. You never know. And it would be a fun Monday if you suddenly starred in a movie with Julia Roberts, right? Something about life goals.

The top seven highest-paid actresses in the world:

1. Scarlett Johansson (35.6 million euros)
2. Angelina Jolie (24.7 million euros)
3. Jennifer Aniston (22.5 million euros)
4. Jennifer Lawrence (21.2 million euros)
5. Reese Witherspoon (14.6 million euros)
6. Mila Kunis (14.1 million euros)
7. Julia Roberts (11.4 million euros)
