Leading the list for the fifth year in a row is Columbian actress Sofia Vergara, who pocketed $43 million in the 12 months to June before management fee and taxes. Ironically, it’s not her role of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in Modern Family that is responsible for earning her the top spot, but the endorsement and licensing deals that have proven most fruitful. Sofia was followed by Kaley Cuoco who essays the role of Penny in Big Bang Theory. She made $24.5 million in the aforementioned year.
