Despite her films’ earnings, the mum-of-one is still only 10th on the list overall in comparison to her male acting peers. Meanwhile, the next female on the list is Cameron Diaz, who just made it into the top 20 at number 19 for her involvement in the Shrek franchise.

Harrison Ford topped the list with his mega box office hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

ScarJo has previously spoken about the pay gap between genders in Hollywood.

She told Cosmopolitan in May, “I think every woman has [been underpaid], but unless I’m addressing it as a larger problem, for me to talk about my own personal experience with it feels a little obnoxious.”

“It’s part of a larger conversation about feminism in general.”
