Sofia Vergara Tops ‘Forbes’ Highest-Paid TV Actresses List, Again
Forbes magazine released its annual list of the highest-paid TV actresses yesterday, and the same two names ended up at the top for the second year in a row.
Sofia Vergara plays the role of Gloria on “Modern Family,” and topped the list for the 5th straight year with earnings of $43 million. Besides her salary on the show, Sofia also gets millions for various endorsements and licensing deals.
“The Big Bang Theory” actress, Kaley Cuoco, came in second with $24.5 million in earnings. The money came almost entirely for her work as Penny on the show, where she and her male co-stars all earn $1 million per episode.
The top 5 was rounded out by Mindy Kaling with $15 million, as well as “Law and Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay and “Grey’s Anatomy” star Ellen Pompeo, who tied for fourth with $14.5 million each.
