Scarlett Johansson has been named 2018's World's Highest-Paid Actress.



The 33-year-old actress pulled in a huge $40.5 million before taxes between June 2017 and June 2018, topping Forbes' annual list of Hollywood females largely due to her Black Widow role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.



Following behind her in second place was Angelina Jolie, whose $28 million earnings for the year mainly come from her paycheque for 'Maleficent 2', which she is currently filming.



Jennifer Aniston may have had a quiet year in TV and movies, but her endorsement contracts with the likes of Smartwater, Emirates airlines and Aveeno helped her take third place with earnings of $19.5 million.
