It\u2019s no secret that movie stars, especially those who are\u00a0top box office draws<\/a>\u00a0earn by the millions for one film alone. But even in a world of over-the-top paychecks, it\u2019s clear that some entertainers get paid more than others for their works.<\/p>

Forbes<\/strong><\/em> just released its annual list of the highest paid actresses and what do you know, The Hunger Games <\/em>actress Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong> beat top contenders like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston for a pretty spot at the top. American actresses round up 9 of the 10 spots on the list, with Fan Bingbing being the only Asian representative to have made it to the top.<\/p>

While the totals are significantly smaller in comparison to the earnings of their male counterparts, with the male leads reportedly taking home a two percent higher cut than female leads, the salaries of some of Tinseltown\u2019s top actresses<\/a> are no small affair in themselves. Head to our gallery for a closer look at the top-earning actresses for 2015.<\/p>

Perhaps it\u2019s time to for a career switch?<\/p>
