Lawrence ranked highest-paid actress on $52m

Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has topped Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid actresses, earning $52m (€45.7m) the past year but still far behind the best paid actor.

Lawrence, who won an Oscar in 2013 for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, also had income for being the face of French fashion and beauty company Dior.

However, her combined earnings came nowhere near the estimated $80m of Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. He topped Forbes list earlier this month of the highest paid male actors.
