Move aside, Jennifer Lawrence! Emma Stone has now been named the world’s highest paid actress by Forbes magazine — surpassing J.Law, who made the spot last year in 2016.

Emma reportedly made $26 million, mainly thanks to her Oscar-winning performance in La La Land. 

Earlier this year, she revealed that male co-stars have taken salary cuts so she could have equal pay.  “That’s something they do for me because they feel it’s what’s right and fair,” Stone said to Out magazine. “That’s something that’s also not discussed, necessarily — that our getting equal pay is going to require people to selflessly say, ‘That’s what’s fair.’”

In second place was Jennifer Aniston with $25.5 million, who appeared in The Yellow Bird as well as endorsements with Emirates airlines, Smartwater, and Aveeno — not to mention Friends royalties.
