Emma Stone has been named the highest paid actress in the world.

The 28 year old topped Forbes’ annual listing of the best paid stars, with an impressive $26 million in earnings between June 2016 and June 2017.

Friends star Jennifer Anniston took the second spot on the list, with an estimated $25.5 million over the same time period.

Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence slipped to third on this year’s list with $24 million in earnings.

This makes it the first time since 2014 that she has not topped the list.

Melissa McCarthy and Mila Kunis finished out the Top 5 on the list, with $18 million and $15 million in earnings, respectively.

Emma Watson as the list’s sole newcomer this year, tying for sixth place with Charlize Theron.

Meanwhile, Cate Blanchett and Julia Roberts tied for eighth on the list with $12 million each.

Amy Adams rounded out the Top 10 not too far behind, with an estimated $11.5 million.

The world’s 10 highest paid actresses earned an eye watering $172.5 million between them between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017 – before fees and taxes.

But only three women broke the $20 million mark this year, compared to four women on last year’s list.
