Ranking the 10 Richest Hunger Games Stars (#2 Is The Most Surprising)
Finishing 8th is a bit of a surprise for a legend...
The Hunger Games trilogy is one of the most successful film franchises of all time, grossing nearly $3 billion worldwide.
And these are its 10 richest stars in order of wealth:
10. Josh Hutcherson - $20 million
Hutcherson played Peeta Melark throughout the series. Born in 1992, he made his acting debut at the age of 10 and went on to star in ER, Bridge to Terabithia and The Polar Express before really making his name in The Hunger Games.
9. Evan Ross - $25 million
Actor and musician Evan Ross has appeared in music videos for Notorious B.I.G., Lionel Richie and Macy Gray. He also played Messalla in both parts of Mockingjay.
8. Stanley Tucci - $25 million
After a stint on Broadway, his first film role was opposite Jack Nicholson in Prizzi's Honor in 1985. A year later, he starred with Madonna in Who's That Girl? Since then he's appeared in Road to Perdition, Captain America and Transformers, as well as playing Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games.
7. Liam Hemsworth - $28 million
The Australian was fairly new to the acting scene when he landed the role of Gale Hawthorn. But he's now a full-fledged Hollywood star, having starred in The Duel, Killerman and Poker Face.
6. Elizabeth Banks - $50 million
The Massachusetts-born actress played Betty Brant opposite Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Laura Bush in a comedy biopic based on the life of George W. Bush before taking on the role of Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games. She is now also working behind the camera, having produced and directed Cocaine Bear.
5. Julianne Moore - $55 million
From The Hand That Rocks the Cradle to The Big Lebowski, Julianne Moore has starred in some memorable films. And she played President Alma Coin in the final instalment of The Hunger Games.
4. Donald Sutherland - $60 million
Now we're in the company of Hollywood royalty. The Canadian has starred in epic films like The Dirty Dozen, Backdraft and The Eagle Has Landed, as well as playing Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games.
3. Woody Harrelson - $70 million
After starting his acting career in 1978, the Texan starred in Natural Born Killers, No Country for Old Men and Nanking before appearing in The Hunger Games as Haymitch Abernathy.
2. Lenny Kravitz - $90 million
Although best known for his music, Lenny Kravitz has dabbled in acting and had a supporting role in The Hunger Games as Cinna. He also played himself in Zoolander and The Simpsons. It's probably safe to say that the trilogy only earned him a fraction of his fortune.
1. Jennifer Lawrence - $160 million
As the star of the franchise, it's no surprise that Jennifer Lawrence tops the list. She appeared in X-Men: First Class before taking on the lead role in this trilogy. Her latest film is the sex comedy No Hard Feelings.
