Playing Black Widow has been incredibly lucrative for SCARLETT JOHANSSON.

According to "Forbes", she raked in another $56 million over the past year - enough to top their list of the highest paid actresses for the second straight year.  Last year, she was #1 after making $40.5 million.

That wouldn't have cut it this year, because SOFIA VERGARA is this year's runner-up with $44.1 million.

Here are the world's 10 highest-paid actresses:1.  Scarlett Johansson, $56 million2.  Sofia Vergara, $44.1 million3.  Reese Witherspoon, $35 million4.  Nicole Kidman, $34 million5.  Jennifer Aniston, $28 million6.  Kaley Cuoco, $25 million7.  Elisabeth Moss, $24 million8.  Margot Robbie, $23.5 million9.  Charlize Theron, $23 million10.  Ellen Pompeo, $22 million.

Together, these 10 women made a combined $314.6 million.

That's 69% more than last year's Top 10... but it's still far less than the Top 10 ACTORS, who earned a total of $588.3 million over the past year.

For comparison, here are the Top 10 Highest Paid Actors:

1. Dwayne Johnson $89.4m2. Chris Hemsworth $76.4m3. Robert Downey Jr. $66m4. Akshay Kumar $65m5. Jackie Chan $58m6. Bradley Cooper $57m7. Adam Sandler $57m8. Chris Evans $43.5m9. Paul Rudd $41m10. Will Smith $35m
