Vergara tops list of best-paid TV actresses
Print Edition
Sofia Vergara of ABC’s successful TV comedy “Modern Family” is the highest-paid actress on US television for the second consecutive year with estimated earnings of US$30 million, according to Forbes magazine.
The voluptuous Colombian-born actress surpassed Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Mariska Hargitay of NBC’s “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” and Kaley Cuoco, a star of CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory,” who both tied for second with US$11 million.
“As the reigning queen of celebrity endorsement deals (thanks largely to her bilingual portfolio), Vergara’s earnings over the past year reached US$30 million — making her far and away the highest-paid actress on prime time,” Forbes.com said.
Vergara, 41, has clothing and home goods lines sold at Sears Holding Corp’s retailer Kmart and lucrative endorsement deals with PepsiCo Inc’s Diet Pepsi, Proctor & Gamble Co’s CoverGirl and others.
Sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian of the E! cable reality series “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” shared the No. 4 spot with earnings of US$10 million each along with three other women, including Melissa McCarthy of CBS’s “Mike & Molly.”
McCarthy scored a hit on the big screen in “Bridesmaids,” a film that grossed about US$288 million globally, and in “The Heat” with Sandra Bullock.
The Kardashian sisters also have a clothing line and other licensing deals.
