JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS WORLD'S HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS

Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence is the world's highest paid actress for 2015, banking $52 million, according to Forbes magazine.

The financial publication attributes Lawrence's commercial success mainly to her role as Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" trilogy, which has grossed $2.3 billion worldwide so far.

The final installment of the trilogy, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2," opens mid-November globally.

Lawrence's income was boosted by her lucrative contract for French fashion house and cosmetics company, Christian Dior.

Later this year, Lawrence will be reunited with her "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star Bradley Cooper and director of the film David O. Russell for comedic drama "Joy," for which she will be receiving a reported $15 million.

Scarlett Johansson is runner-up on the list with $35.5 million in the bank.

According to Forbes, Johansson commands $10 million per movie in a lead role, with her upcoming "Ghost in the Shell" boosting her income by $17.5 million.

Johansson is also a spokesmodel for Dolce and Gabbana and Sodastream.

"Bridesmaids" star Melissa McCarthy also proves her star power on the list, banking $23 million last year, with movies including "Spy" and "Tammy," reaching a combined total of $335 million gross.

McCarthy is also set to launch a fashion line for woman of all-sizes.

Chinese actress Fan Bing Bing is the only non-American actress on the list, earning a reported $21 million last year.

Her role in "The White-Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom" and endorsements for Chopard and cosmetics firm L'Oreal supplemented her income.

She is perhaps best known to U.S. audiences for her turn in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

Rounding out the top five is newlywed actress Jennifer Aniston with $16.5 million.

The "Friends" star is also the face for Aveeno, SmartWater and Living Proof.
