Last year, Sandra Bullock topped this list at $51 million, but has fallen over the last 12 months to the number 15, earning $8 million, according to Entertainment Weekly.
What's interesting is that Lawrence is still pretty busy from now until the time the next report comes out. The next Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay Part 2, hits theaters in November, with box office predictions through the roof, plus Joy, costarring Bradley Cooper is in theaters this holiday season. Also, X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters in May 2016, which will surely raise her net worth as well.
Here are the top ten highest paid actresses from the list (via IGN / CBS This Morning)
Jennifer Lawrence: $52,000,000
