You've Probably Never Heard of the No. 4-Paid Actress

The top-earning actress over the last year is no surprise at all: Jennifer Lawrence easily tops Forbes' new list with $52 million. More interesting is Melissa McCarthy, who finds herself at No. 3 at $23 million—in addition to movies such as Spy and Tammy, she also launched a clothing line, Seven7. And just behind her is a Chinese actress named Fan Bingbing, star of foreign films such as My Way and Battle of the Warriors. The 33-year-old managed to beat out names such as Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts. "Will fans in the US now take notice of Fan Bingbing?" wonders the International Business Times. "Only time will tell, but $21 million is hard to ignore."
