7- Elizabeth Banks: $16.5 Million
She is the sweetest thing, and you don’t even know that she is 40 years old.
On her youth she used to play baseball in the little league when she broke her leg sliding into third. After her baseball career was over she tried out for the school play which gave her acting career a start.
She attended the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority.
Regarding her acting career, Banks graduated magna cum laude in 1996 with a major in communications and a concentration in theater arts.
In 1998, she completed schooling at the American Conservatory Theater and earned an MFA.
I don’t know if you already knew this or not but she changed her name when she was younger to avoid confusion with actress Elizabeth Mitchell.
In 1998 she made her acting debut in the independent film Surrender Dorothy where she played Elizabeth Casey.
After that she appeared in many films over the next seven years before gaining international fame with the comedy film The 40-Year-Old Virgin from 2005.
The American actress, producer and director is also known for her roles in many great movies, including Seabiscuit (2003), Invincible (2006), Definitely, Maybe (2008), Role Models (2008), People Like Us (2012), Man on a Ledge (2012), Pitch Perfect (2012) (which she also produced), Movie 43 (2013), The Lego Movie (2014).
And of course, The Hunger Games film series where she plays Effie Trinket, a woman from “The Capitol” who escorts the District 12 tributes to the Hunger Games.
