Throughout the year, Lawrence's films -- including blockbusters "Mockingjay" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" -- have brought in $1.4 billion at the box office worldwide. According to Forbes, that number will grow even more as "Mockingjay" continues its theatrical¹ run.

 

This is a big jump in the rankings for Lawrence, who last year snagged the final spot in the top ten with a gross of $700 million. The number one spot in 2013 was filled by Dwayne Johnson, who brought in $1.3 billion.

 

The ranking comes on the heels of recently released information from the Sony leaks that Lawrence was paid less than her male co-stars for her work in "American Hustle²" -- a revelation that falls in line with the greater gender³ gap that continues to persist in Hollywood.

 

Rounding out the top five of 2014's list include Chris Pratt, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Wahlberg and Chris Evans.
