With $180 Mil Net Worth, Here's How Much Sofia Vergara Made From Modern Family

Sofia Vergara is one of the most recognizable and highest-paid people on television, with her net worth estimated at a staggering $180 million, according to CNW. Although you most probably know the actress for her role on Modern Family, only a fraction of this money comes from the show.

On Modern Family, ABC's highly successful mockumentary-style show about a pretty unusual extended family, Sofia Vergara portrayed Gloria Pritchett. A 'hot foreigner' from Colombia, Gloria was the new wife of Jay Pritchett, with whom they had quite a big age gap.

That fact prompted many to believe she was just a trophy wife character, but during her years on the show, Gloria proved to be an important part of the family, adding spice and vigor to the beloved sitcom. So how much did the actress earn for her iconic role?

An integral part of Modern Family, Vergara received flattering paychecks throughout her time on the project. During the first three seasons, the actress was paid $30 thousand per episode, which amounted to a total of $2.16 million before taxes.

Seasons 4 and 5 brought Vergara $90 thousand per episode, or $4.32 million in total. Then, the actress earned $190 thousand for each episode of the subsequent sixth through tenth seasons, amassing a whopping $21.28 million.

In the final 11th season, she made an eye-popping $500 thousand per episode, earning a total of $9 million. All in all, Gloria Pritchett is responsible for almost $37 million of Vergara's net worth.

Now you're certainly wondering where the other $143 million come from, and apparently, this is how much Sofia Vergara has managed to earn through her other projects.

Over the years, the actress has starred in other film and TV productions, including Chef (2014) and Hot Pursuit (2015), and she also did voice-overs for several animated movies.

Since 2020, Vergara has been a judge on America's Got Talent, which most likely pays well, and don't forget the many commercials and brand endorsements she has done. Furthermore, Sofia is a successful entrepreneur and has her own brand of clothing, jewelry, and perfume.

While these figures aren't exactly reflective of the star's true wealth as they don't take into account her tax payments, they still prove that Sofia Vergara is one of the richest actresses in the history of television. And contrary to fans' expectations, Modern Family was only part of her financial success!
