The _Hunger Games_ star won the 2015 [Guinness World Record](http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2014/9/jennifer-lawrence-game-of-thrones-frozen-among-new-entertainment-record-holders-in-guinness-world-records-2015-book-60021/) for highest-grossing action heroine, thanks to the success of the blockbuster franchise, which has raked in more than $1.52 billion internationally. The 2015 Guinness Book of World Records, which comes out Sept. 11, also lists _The Hunger Games: Catching Fire_ as the highest-grossing post-apocalyptic movie, earning more than $854 million worldwide. But J-Law’s not the only star who set a world record in 2015\. Miley Cyrus became the most searched-for pop star on the internet after last year’s twerking at the VMAs, and Shakira became the most “liked” person on Facebook. Beyoncé won for fastest-selling iTunes album, with 828,773 downloads in the first three days. Katy Perry now has the most Twitter followers in the world, with 56 million. And _The_ _Wolf of Wall Street_ won for most expletives in a movie: the characters curse 687 times, or an average of 3.81 swear words per minute. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3268300/jennifer-lawrence-guinness-world-record/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3268300/jennifer-lawrence-guinness-world-record/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence Is the Highest-Grossing Action Heroine","datePublished":"2014-09-04T14:55:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:55:55.332Z","description":"Hackers can't keep the starlet down","url":"https://time.com/3268300/jennifer-lawrence-guinness-world-record/","keywords":["Living","Jennifer Lawrence","Katy Perry","Beyonce","Miley Cyrus","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc350f7dc1307a832/6986a1f51eebf76eff372806/451818162.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc350f7dc1307a832/6986a1f51eebf76eff372806/451818162.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Christian Dior : Front Row - Paris Fashion Week : Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2014-2015","caption":"Christian Dior : Front Row - Paris Fashion Week : Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2014-2015","creditText":"Rindoff/Dufour—2014 Rindoff/Dufour","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3268300/jennifer-lawrence-guinness-world-record/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence Is the Highest-Grossing Action Heroine"}}]}] ```
