Emma Stone is now the world’s highest paid actress at US$26m – but that’s still a fraction of The Rock’s US$64.5m

Move over, J Law. Emma Stone is officially the world’s highest paid actress. The La La Land star earned US$26 million over a 12-month period from June 2016.

Jennifer Lawrence, who topped the Forbes list for two years running, is now down to third place with US$24 million, behind Jennifer Aniston at US$25.5 million.

For all the Beauty and the Beast fans out there, Emma Watson, the only British actress on the list, sits at sixth place with US$14 million.

While this is good news indeed for Stone, her yearly salary is still a fraction of what Hollywood’s leading actors were getting last year.
