Sofia Vergara leads the list with earnings of over?$41.5 million
Forbes on Tuesday came out with its list of the highest paid TV actresses in the worldbetween June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017.
For the sixth consecutive time, "Modern Family's"star Sofia Vergara leads the list with earnings of over$41.5 million (Rs 271 crore).
It is said that Sofia's keen business acumen is to be credited for her earnings. Only a quarter of her total earnings come from the show. The bulk rest of the money is because of her endorsement deals from brands such as Head & Shoulders, Pepsi and CoverGirl, and from focusing on licensing deals, which allow her a certain amount of control over her products.
Our very own "desi girl"Priyanka Chopra also makes it to the cut. She lands safely at eighth positionwith$10 million (Rs 65 crore).
Priyanka has made it to the list thanks to her ABC show "Quantico" that became a hit in 2016 and "Baywatch" in 2017. Shealso endorses a range of products and Forbes called Chopra “most consistent money-maker”.
According to Forbes:“Combined, the world’s 10 highest-paid TV actresses made $156.5 million between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017."
