Gal Gadot takes third place on Forbes list of highest paid actresses 2020

The 2020 list is characterized by more TV stars than usual. This is in part due to the coronavirus pandemic postponing the production of many big-budget releases.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot is the third-highest paid actress of 2020 with $31.5 million, according to Forbes magazine.

With work on the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 on hold, Gadot joined the cast of Red Notice, making $20 m. for her work on the Netflix film.

Gadot first made the Forbes highest paid actresses list in 2018, coming in at number 10 with $10 m. She did not make the list in 2019.

The actress earned international fame in the title role of the 2017 box office hit Wonder Woman, which netted over $821 m. globally.

Sofia Vergara and Angelina Jolie came in first and second in  2020, which is characterized by more TV stars than usual. This is in part due to the coronavirus pandemic postponing the production of many big-budget releases, according to Forbes.
