The ranking, which is named the 'Best Actresses for the Buck', was created to show which movie stars make the most money in the box office.
The 41-year-old Australian actress, who has starred in films such as The Ring and King Kong, apparently makes $44 for every dollar she is paid for films.
The runner-up was Jennifer Connelly, who makes $41 for every dollar, and third place was given to Rachel McAdams, who turns every dollar into $30. It is believed that the first three actresses topped the list because they are willing to accept lower salaries than stars such as Angelina Jolie.
Other actresses in the top ten include Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Halle Berry.
