Israeli “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot has achieved a new milestone, becoming one of the world’s highest earning actresses.
According to a Forbes list published on Thursday, the 33-year-old Gadot was the tenth-highest paid actress in Hollywood between June 1, 2017, and June 1, 2018.
The only newcomer on the list, Gadot made a total of $10 million during that time, mostly revenue from the Wonder Woman franchise, coupled with an endorsement by cosmetics giant Revlon.
Jewish actress Mila Kunis came sixth with $16 million, after placing fifth in the 2017 list.
Scarlett Johansson, also Jewish, was the top earner, with more than $40 million, overtaking last year’s No. 1 Emma Stone, who was dropped off the top 10 list this year, as did Emma Watson, Amy Adams, and Charlize Theron.
