The blonde beauty does it one time for the ladies, landing the number 10 spot on the list of the highest grossing movie stars of all time. Scarlett Johansson, 31, has raked in $3.3 billion dollars in total, making her the 10th highest grossing actress on the list following behind an all male list of actors.
Although Johansson may be number 10 on the list, she’s also the youngest following behind a list of well respected actors: Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Robert Downey Jr., Eddie Murphy, Tom Cruise, Michael Caine, and Johnny Depp. Harrison Ford, 73, is number one on the list grossing $4.8 billion dollars which isn’t too far off from Johansson’s $3.3 billion.
Johansson has starred in five Marvel films including Iron Man 2 in 2010, The Avengers in 2012, Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014, Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015 and Captain America: Civil War in 2016. She also voiced Kaa in The Jungle Book and starred in Hail, Caesar! earlier this year. Cameron Diaz follows as the next woman on the list grossing just over $3 billion dollars followed by Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Julia Robers, Elizabeth Banks, Emma Watson, and Anne Hathaway.
Cosmopolitan recently sat down with Johansson to discuss the gender wage gap and she seems to be very humbled by her experiences as an actress. “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.”
