Aniston is usually willing to cut her upfront pay for these movies in return for a chunk of the profits. Lately she's focused on smaller-budgeted comedies like We're The Millers and Horrible Bosses. Thanks to Friends and her endorsement work for products like Aveeno, Aniston can be choosy about her film projects. Ranking third on our list is Jennifer Aniston with $31 million. We didn't deduct for taxes, agent fees or the other costs of being a celebrity. To come up with our earnings estimates we talked to agents, producers, lawyers and other in-the-know folks to figure out how much each celebrity earned from entertainment-related work during our 12 month time period. Lawrence ranked 12th overall on our Celebrity 100 list which measures a mix of earnings and fame. We estimate that Lawrence earned $34 million between June 2013 and June 2014 ranking her second on our earnings list. Now she's in a position to demand top dollar for future Hunger Games movies as well as a share of the backend. Star Jennifer Lawrence earned less than $1 million upfront for the first movie.

The fact that The Hunger Games franchise stars a woman hasn't stopped fans from spending millions of dollars on the movies. Hopefully the women on our list can start to change that as female-led blockbusters bring in just as much money as action films starring men.

Our ten top earning actors brought in a combined $419 million during our time frame while the top ten actresses brought in just a little over half of that - $226 million. Despite Bullock's impressive showing, women are still earning less than men in Hollywood.
