Modern Family's Sofia Vergara has been announced as this year's highest-paid TV star by Forbes magazine.
She's now been number 1 in the TV actresses list since 2012 - that's five years in a row.
Vergara is said to have brought in $43 million this year, which is not only enough to buy The Great British Bake Off and a nice mansion, but is $18.5 million more than the second highest-paid actress - The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco.
In fact, Cuoco earned $4 million dollars less this year than she did last year, while Vergara earned $14.5 million dollars more!
The Modern Family actress isn't just trampling her female contemporaries in the money stakes, either.
Cuoco's The Big Bang Theory co-stars Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki - who topped last year's male actors list - are paid the same amount as Cuoco, meaning Vergara is way ahead of them. Forbes hasn't yet revealed this year's Highest-Paid TV Actors, but has confirmed Vergara beat all of them.
What to Read Next
Cuoco, Parsons and Galecki are probably feeling the same way about Vergara as Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik (Bernadette and Amy, respectively) feel about them - Rauch and Bialik earn just *ten percent* of the main Big Bang trio.
Here is the top ten in full, with comparisons to last year's earnings (the actresses without comparisons are new to the rankings this year):
- Sofia Vergara: $43,000,000 (2015 earnings: $28,500,000)
