 Stone, 28, who won best actress for her role as
a struggling actress in "La La Land," made $26 million in
pre-tax earnings, according to Forbes' calculations over a
12-month period from June 2016 to June 2017.
She outpaced Jennifer Aniston, 48, who came in at No. 2 this
year with earnings of $25.5 million, with residual income still
coming in from the television sitcom "Friends" and endorsement
deals with brands such as SmartWater and Emirates Airline <EMIRA.UL>.
Lawrence, 27, who topped the Forbes list for two consecutive
years, dropped to No. 3 this year with earnings of $24 million,
almost half of her prior year's earnings of $46 million.
The actress, who has spoken out on equal pay for women in
Hollywood, saw her earnings dip this year after the conclusion
of the "Hunger Games" franchise, but continues to make money
from movie deals and an endorsement deal with fashion brand
Christian Dior.

Forbes compiles its annual celebrity earnings lists from box office
and Nielsen data, as well as from interviews with industry insiders.
The top-ten list also includes Charlize Theron, Emma Watson and
Melissa McCarthy. Forbes said no stars from Asia made the cut this
year.
Forbes said the cumulative total earned by the world's top ten
highest-paid actresses - $172.5 million - was down 16 percent from
the previous year.
Last year, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson topped Forbes' list of
highest-paid actors at $64.5 million, more than double the amount
made by Stone this year. Forbes is expected to release its list of
top-earning male actors later this week.
