Sofia Vergara Is The Biggest Female Money-Maker On Television
And not for the first time.
Sofia Vergara has been named television's highest-paid actress.
The Modern Family star has topped this year's Forbes list for the third consecutive year, after earning $37 million (£22.5m) between June 2013 and June 2014.
Although she earns a reported $325,000 (£200,000) per episode in the ABC sitcom, most of her earnings come from endorsement deals such as with Diet Pepsi, CoverGirl, Head & Shoulders and AT&T.

The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting was third with $11 million, ahead of Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife), Ellen Pompeo (Grey's Anatomy) and Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) with $10 million.
