According to Box Office Mojo, not only is the Avengers star the only female to make the top ten list, she is one of just two women to make the top twenty list, the other being Cameron Diaz.

The star has an incredible filmography and has 37 films to her name, including the smash hit Marvel films Iron Man 2, Captain America: Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Scarlett was announced the highest grossing actress of all time 

The 31-year-old, who is also notably younger than the actors in the top ten list, has spoken about her box office success, telling People magazine: "There's something icky about me having that conversation unless it applies to a greater whole.

"I am very fortunate, I make a really good living, and I'm proud to be an actress who's making as much as many of my male peers at this stage. I think every woman has been underpaid, but unless I'm addressing it as a larger problem, for me to talk about my own personal experience with it feels a little obnoxious. It's part of a larger conversation about feminism in general."
