Jennifer Lawrence

For a 26-year-old woman, with no formal acting training, the fact that Jennifer Lawrence is currently the highest earning actress in the world is no mean feat and is a testament to her hard work and incredible natural talent. Having started out acting in church plays, Lawrence was scouted aged 14, and now graces the big screen, red carpets, and magazine covers like a seasoned professional. Despite being the highest paid actress since 2015, Lawrence is also revered for speaking out against the wage gap in Hollywood.

Admired as much for her honest, self-deprecating and often goofy sense of humor (according to Rolling Stone, Lawrence has honored herself as the world’s ‘fastest pee-er’), as for her on-screen performances, Lawrence has won the hearts of millions and continues to be one of the most sought after names in Hollywood.
