The latest list of TV’s highest-paid actresses is out… and one actress is just about lapping the field.
Vergara’s closest competitor is Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco, who earned $24.5 million this year, largely from playing Penny on the hit CBS sitcom, currently airing its 12th and final season.
Cuoco’s co-stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch (both earning $12 million) are the only two newcomers to the Forbes list, thanks to a hefty pay raise the pair secured last year.
Modern Family star Sofia Vergara tops the annual list compiled by Forbes magazine for the seventh year in a row, pulling in a whopping $42.5 million over the past year — nearly double the next highest-paid actress.
