The Avengers siren has starred in a vast range of films from major Marvel blockbusters to indie films. The next woman to fall in line of the list is Cameron Diaz who comes in at No. 19 to the tune of just over $3 billion. Here is the official top 10 with the lucrative sums of money attached;

Movie business analyst Paul Dergarabedian contributed Johansson's success to the range of films she's covered so far in her career; “Johansson has perfectly and seamlessly balanced her impressive career with indie films. Working with noted filmmakers like Luc Besson, Christopher Nolan, the Coen Brothers and Woody Allen and she tops it off by starring in major Marvel powered box office blockbusters and other popular films, most recently 'The Jungle Book’. Add it all up and Johansson’s career diversification plan has delivered huge overall returns at the box office and thus catapults her to among the highest grossing stars working today.”
With only 31 years marked on the calendar, Johansson has plenty of time to work her way up that list.
