New figures have revealed the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, and Jennifer Lawrence has been toppled from the top spot.

According to Forbes, itโ€™s Emma Stone who earned the most in the past 12 months, in a year thatโ€™s also seen her bag an Academy Award, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for her leading performance in โ€˜La La Landโ€™.

Emma is said to have bagged $26 million (ยฃ20.2 million) in the past year, putting her just above number two star Jennifer Aniston, who earned $25.5 million (ยฃ19.8 million).

While Jennifer hasnโ€™t had any major film projects in the past 12 months, her high income is thought to be from endorsement deals for brands like SmartWater and Emirates airlines.

Oh, and sheโ€™s still earning money from โ€˜Friendsโ€™ reruns too.

Last yearโ€™s winner Jennifer Lawrence has dropped down to number three, with Melissa McCarthy and Mila Kunis completing the top five.

Meanwhile, the highest-earning British actress is number six overall, with Emma Watson appearing on the list for the first time, thanks to her roles in โ€˜Beauty And The Beastโ€™ and โ€˜The Circleโ€™ (though weโ€™re guessing the former may have made her a bit more than the latter).

Forbes also pointed out that the cumulative earnings of the top 10 actresses had dropped by 16% from last yearโ€™s repot.

The list of top-earning male actors is thought to be released next week, while Forbes recently compiled a similar list of entertainment stars whoโ€™ve earned the most, with Puff Daddy topping the list on a staggering ยฃ102 million.
