Jennifer Lawrence net worth 2016: Lawrence net worth rises to approx. $110 million
Jennifer Lawrence is, without a doubt, one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood. Her talent and dedication to her craft has helped her reach the top. Currently, the 26-year-old actress has a net worth of $110 million.
The Kentucky-born celebrity started acting in local theater productions when she was in her teens. Eventually, she convinced her parents to help her find a talent agency in New York so she can act full-time. Lawrence appeared in television shows and commercials until she received her breakout role in "Winter's Bone," which landed her an Oscar nomination. Shortly after, Lawrence starred in Suzanne Collins' dystopian trilogy "Hunger Games."
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lawrence only earned $500,000 for the first "Hunger Games" movie. But the film's success helped a lot in boosting Lawrence's career. Consequently, the actress received fatter paychecks for the following three films. Though her salaries for the succeeding movies were not revealed, it was pretty clear that it increased because she gained the top spot in Forbes' 2015 list of highest paid actresses in the world.
For the second year in a row, "Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence is the world's highest paid actress, according to Forbes. In a year, the actress earned $46 million pretax. Although it is 11.5 percent lower than what she made in 2015, she still remains at the top, with a $13 million lead from the second highest paid actress, Melissa McCarthy.
Forbes reported that a good bulk of her earnings came from the last film of the "Hunger Games" franchise which grossed $653.4 million. In addition, the actress received a massive fee for the upcoming science-fiction film "Passengers," which is scheduled for release by the end of this year.
It is no secret that female actresses in Hollywood relatively get paid less than their male co-stars. Lawrence is one of those women trying to fight for equal pay. Her feistiness is most likely one of the reasons why she has earned the top spot two times in a row.
