Jackson](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:SamuelLJackson,00.html), [Morgan Freeman](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MorganFreeman,00.html), [Tom Hanks](http://www.people.com/people/tom%5Fhanks), [Robert Downey Jr.](http://www.people.com/), [Eddie Murphy](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:EddieMurphy,00.html), [Tom Cruise](http://www.people.com/people/tom%5Fcruise), [Michael Caine](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MichaelCaine,00.html) and [Johnny Depp](http://www.people.com/people/johnny%5Fdepp). The next highest-grossing actress on the list is [Cameron Diaz](http://www.people.com/people/cameron%5Fdiaz) at 19, followed by [Helena Bonham Carter](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:HelenaBonhamCarter,00.html) at 26, [Cate Blanchett](http://www.people.com/people/cate%5Fblanchett) at 29, [Julia Roberts](http://www.people.com/people/julia%5Froberts) at 30, [Elizabeth Banks](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:ElizabethBanks,00.html) at 31, [Emma Watson](http://www.people.com/people/emma%5Fwatson) at 32 and [Anne Hathaway](http://www.people.com/people/anne%5Fhathaway) at 50.

She also voiced Kaa in _The Jungle Book_ and starred in _Hail, Caesar!_ earlier this year. The actress [recently spoke](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/07/scarlett-johansson-gendered-wage-gap) about the gender wage gap in Hollywood, telling [_Cosmopolitan_](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/news/a56300/scarlett-johansson-may-2016/), “There’s something icky about me having that conversation unless it applies to a greater whole.” She added, “I am very fortunate, I make a really good living, and I’m proud to be an actress who’s making as much as many of my male peers at this stage … I think every woman has \[been underpaid\], but unless I’m addressing it as a larger problem, for me to talk about my own personal experience with it feels a little obnoxious. It’s part of a larger conversation about feminism in general.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4389407/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4389407/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress/"},"headline":"Scarlett Johansson Earns More Money Than Any Other Actress","datePublished":"2016-06-30T13:14:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:02:51.454Z","description":"But she still won't discuss Hollywood's wage gap","url":"https://time.com/4389407/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4ca794454fbe2443/69889a2e656a3f491fbcc1cf/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Michael Miller / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4ca794454fbe2443/69889a2e656a3f491fbcc1cf/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The Avengers: Age Of Ultron\" - European Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"\"The Avengers: Age Of Ultron\" - European Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Samir Hussein—Getty Images","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/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4389407/scarlett-johansson-highest-grossing-actress/","name":"Scarlett Johansson Earns More Money Than Any Other Actress"}}]}] ```
