Have you ever watched ‘Modern Family’? I love that show, do you too? So, do you remember Sofia Vergara?
Sofia Vergara, known for her appearance in ‘Modern Family’, has been named the highest paid television actress in the world by Forbes, earning $43 million in the last 12 months up to June.
Ironically, it’s not her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett that is responsible for her 66% earnings bump over last year. Rather it’s endorsement and licensing deals–for products including a line of furniture, dandruff shampoo Head and Shoulders and even nurse scrubs–that have proven the most fruitful.
For the fifth year in a row, the Colombian actress tops our list of the world’s highest-paid TV actresses, bringing in $43 million in the 12 months to June before management fees and taxes, which is also more than any TV actor made.
The actress who stands eighth on Forbes’ list of highest-paid TV actresses in the world is Priyanka Chopra. She has become the highest paid actress of India, having earned $11 million in 12 months till June this year according to Forbes. She has overtaken Deepika Padukone, who according to Forbes, earned $10 million during the same period.
