Sofia Vergara is officially the highest paid TV actress in the world for fifth year
The Modern Family actress TV rich list once again
MODERN Family star Sofia Vergara is officially the highest paid TV actress in the world for the fifth year running.
The Colombian beauty has topped Forbes' list with earnings of £33 million in the past year - a massive 66% increase on her income from the previous year.
A familiar face on the small screen as she plays the no nonsense Gloria Delgado-Prichett on the popular TV series, surprisingly the star makes the majority of her money elsewhere.
The sexy 44-year-old, who is married to fellow actor Joe Manganiello, instead makes her dollars from lucrative endorsement and licensing deals which include a furniture line and the shampoo Head and Shoulders.
Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco was Sofia's runner up in the list.
With the 30-year-old earning just over half of what Sofia manages to reap in - £18.5 million.
As a contrast, the pretty blonde's money comes almost entirely from her role as Penny in the cult comedy.
For each episode, Kaley takes home nearly £760,000.
Other female actresses on the list include Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra - who's soon to feature in the Baywatch remake, Castle actress Stana Katic and Julia Louis-Dreyfus who appeared in Seinfield.
