The famous American magazine Forbes has recently released a list of the highest-paid actresses in the world. This year you will find many surprising names on the list. There is no Bollywood actress in the highest-paid actresses list. Let us check out the names of the actresses who made it to the list of the highest-paid actresses in the world for this year. 10. Viola Davis View this post on Instagram "In 2015, @violadavis became the first Black woman ever to win an Emmy for lead actress in a drama for ‘How to Get Away With Murder.’ In 2017, she won an Oscar for her supporting role as Rose Maxson in ‘Fences’—a part for which she also collected a Tony. Today, she is using her own production company to give young Black actors a platform—in every stage of their careers. “There’s not enough opportunities out there to bring that unknown, faceless Black actress to the ranks of the known. To pop her!” Davis tells V.F., naming other performers—Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Stewart—all “fabulous white actresses,” who have had “a wonderful role for each stage of their lives, that brought them to the stage they are now. We can’t say that for many actors of color.” Read our July/August cover story at the link in bio."
