Well that would be the lovely and talented Sofia Vergara, according to Forbes magazine, She earned $19 million in the past year. With the Emmy nominations coming out this year, it's time to take a step back, and see who really deserves all this money and attention. Well I would say Vergara does. My wife and I watch Modern Family every time there is a new episode.

But if you really look into where all that money comes from, it's not just the TV show, but lots of other things. She is a spokes model, in English and Spanish, for Burger Kind, Pepsi, and Cover Girl -- just to name a few plus she even owns her own production company. Vergara also has a clothing line at Kmart.
