Here are the highest paid actresses in the world; how do they compare to the men?

Let’s play a game: I’ll give you a choice of who the highest paid actress in the world was this year: Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow or Cameron Diaz? Who ya got?

If you said Sandra Bullock you’re almost as big a winner as she is. Okay, not even close, since Sandy raked in a whopping $51 million last year.

Bullock, who just turned 50, didn’t just get the top spot, she freaking wrestled it to the ground and beat the hell out of it making $17 million more than the next actress on the list thanks to Gravity.

Coming in second due to her roles in The Hunger Games and X-Men Jennifer Lawrence grabbed $34 million, and coming in third was Jennifer Aniston with $31 million based on back-end money from films like Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers, plus endorsement deals.
