Ranking The World's 10 Highest-Paid Actresses From Worst To Best

1. Scarlett Johansson ($35.5 Million)

Rank On List: 2 No other actress in Hollywood has carved out a career that is quite so diverse, interesting and bold as Scarlett Johansson - a performer who has managed to strike the perfect balance between starring in both mainstream Hollywood fare and indie films. Take a look at the last 7 films that Johansson has made: Don Jon, Under the Skin, Her, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Chef, Lucy, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. These credits show an actress capable of moving between projects that both appeal to the masses (in order to keep herself nicely relevant) and more personal ventures, such as Under the Skin, without affecting her overall popularity. Then there are the wild cars, like Lucy, which imbue Johansson with the spark of somebody unpretentious who just wants to have fun making movies - a welcomed counterbalance to her more "arty" films. As an actress, there is apparently nothing that Scarlett Johansson cannot do, and she continues to dazzle and amaze in every role. And whilst she isn't riding high on the same kind of feverish popularity that Jennifer Lawrence is experiencing right now, there is arguably no other actress in Hollywood who is as consistent - nor as beautiful. No, she isn't the highest-paid actress in the world, but you could certainly argue that she's the best. Like this list? Agree or disagree with the order we've ranked these actresses?
