Jennifer Lawrence is the world\u2019s highest-paid actress, according to Forbes\u2019 latest rich list.<\/p>\n

The Hunger Games star has topped the annual list for the second year in a row, with her earnings over the past 12 months reportedly coming in at $46 million (\u00c2\u00a334.9 million) before tax.<\/p>\n

At 26, the Academy Award-winning actress is also the youngest on the list, which looked at movie stars\u2019 earnings between June 2015 and June 2016.<\/p>\n

She sits ahead of Melissa McCarthy, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Aniston, who have all made it into the top five.<\/p>\n

Jennifer topped the list in 2015 after earning $52 million (\u00c2\u00a339.5 million), meaning she has seen an 11.5% decrease in takings year on year.<\/p>\n

The US actress received a hefty payout from the box office gross of the final movie in the popular Hunger Games franchise, in which she starred as leading character Katniss Everdeen.<\/p>\n

She is also believed to have taken a large sum of money upfront from her forthcoming movie Passengers.<\/p>\n

Melissa, 45, has come in at second place on the list, with a reported $33 million (\u00c2\u00a325 million), thanks to a large payment for starring in Paul Feig\u2019s Ghostbusters reboot.<\/p>\n

Her estimated earnings have risen by $10 million since the 2015 list was published.<\/p>\n

Scarlett, 31, is third on the list with estimated annual earnings of $25 million (\u00c2\u00a319 million), and Jennifer, 47, is fourth, with Forbes putting her earnings at $21 million (\u00c2\u00a315.9 million).<\/p>\n

Chinese actress Fan Bingbing is in fifth place with her annual takings reaching $17 million (\u00c2\u00a312.9 million).<\/p>\n
