Space may not have been kind to actress Sandra Bullock’s character in the 2013 blockbuster movie “Gravity,” but it sure was great for her finances.
According to Forbes, Bullock earned $51 million between June 2013 and June of this year, due in large part to “Gravity,” which raked in a whopping $716 million worldwide at the box office.
Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence came in second, earning $34 million.
However, the male-to-female pay ratio is even an issue in Hollywood, as the 10 highest-earning actress made a total of $226 million, while their male counterparts earned a combined total of $419 million.
