Reported earnings figures
- Forbes reported on August 20, 2015 that she earned $52 million that year, more than any other actress and her highest paycheck to date, ahead of Scarlett Johansson at $35.5 million; it said the Hunger Games films had grossed $2.3 billion worldwide at that point (Forbes, August 20, 2015). Forbes’ profile lists $46 million on its 2016 Celebrity 100 list (as of July 11, 2016) and says she was Hollywood’s highest-paid woman for a second year (Forbes profile). These are pre-tax earnings for single years, not net worth.
- Parade, citing Deadline, says she made $20 million for Passengers, reportedly $5 million to $7 million more than Chris Pratt (Parade). Celebrity Net Worth reports $25 million for Don’t Look Up (Celebrity Net Worth). These are reported film fees, not net worth. We did not find a more recent Forbes earnings figure for her.
Reading these figures
The $180 million is one outside estimate and has moved up $20 million in that source since 2025. The 2015 and 2016 Forbes figures are old single-year earnings, so they are not additions to it.
