Wednesday, Forbes reported that the Columbian actress has a lot to be thankful for other than her saucy on-screen persona, radiant smile, serpentine curves and occasional wardrobe malfunction.
While Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb may be celebrating a rumored engagement, the television beauty can now raise her goblet and pop bottles for being the highest-paid actress on TV.
Vegara edged out Kim Kardashian for the first time, thanks to the success and loyal fans of her "Modern Family" sitcom. It is likely that her ability to attract viewers without dismissing her Hispanic roots is behind her success.
In fact, many markets are investing heavily in Latinos for their brilliance in many genres. It's been a long time coming for stars like Sofia Vergara.
The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star raked in a measly $18 million last year, putting her in a close second place. Sorry, Kim.
Eva Longoria placed third with $15 million, thanks to her role on ABC's "Desperate Housewives." She even edged out fellow co-stars Terri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross. There's that Hispanic influence again.
To Sofia Vergara and Kim Kardashian's credit, they both have affordable clothing lines, fragrances, bling and other endorsements. And it doesn't hurt to have millions of Twitter followers, today's measurement of success in Hollywood.
Congrats to both Sofia and Kim for making Forbes' list for top-earning actresses on TV.
