Sofia Vergara tops TV actress rich list
This is the third time the Colombian-born actress has topped the list

LOS ANGELES, USA – Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is the highest-paid US TV actress for the third year in a row, earning some $37 million, according to a 2014 list published Wednesday.

 The 42-year-old earned significantly more than the top paid actor, Ashton Kutcher, who made some $26 million, according to Forbes magazine, known for celebrity and other rich lists.

The Colombian-born actress who literally stood on a pedestal at this year’s Emmy awards – reportedly makes $325,000 an episode for Modern Family, but earns much more from endorsements including being the face of Diet Pepsi.

She is also the co-founder of multi-million dollar talent management and marketing firm Latin World Entertainment, while earlier this year she launched her own perfume.

In second place is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay, whose estimated earnings total $13 million, while Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory took home an estimated $11 million for third place.

Tied in fourth spot were The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies who earned $10 million, as did Ellen Pompeo of Grey’s Anatomy and Cobie Smulders of How I Met Your Mother.

Smulders’ co-star on How I Met Your Mother Alyson Hannigan came in fifth with $9.5 million, followed by comediennes Amy Poehler at $7 million and Mindy Kaling at $6.5 million.

Eighth was also tied, with Scandal star Kerry Washington, The New Girl ‘s Zooey Deschanel and Courteney Cox of Friends all taking home an estimated $6 million.

Claire Danes of Homeland earned $5 million, while Girls star Lena Dunham rounded out the top 10 with earnings of $3.5 million.Rappler.com
