Biography
Jennifer Lawrence net worth is estimated at $160 million, accumulated through one of the most rapid ascents in Hollywood history. At 22, she became the second-youngest Best Actress Oscar winner ever for Silver Linings Playbook (2012). She earned $34 million from The Hunger Games franchise alone and commanded $20 million per film at her peak — at one point the highest-paid actress in the world. Her X-Men role as Mystique added tens of millions more. A reported gender pay gap controversy in 2014, when leaked Sony emails revealed she earned less than male costars on American Hustle, sparked a national conversation about Hollywood equity.
