January 3, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Forbes has unveiled its annual list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood for 2017, with Emma Stone leading the way with $26 million in earnings thanks in no small part to her Oscar-winning turn as Mia in Damien Chazelle’s La La Land.

Here’s the full top ten:

1. Emma Stone – $26 million
2. Jennifer Aniston – $25.5 million
3. Jennifer Lawrence – $24 million
4. Melissa McCarthy – $18 million
5. Mila Kunis – $15.5 million
6. Emma Watson – $14 million
