Sofia Vergara solidified her reign as the queen of the small screen in 2017 as the only woman from either film or TV to crack Forbes’ Celebrity 100 (No. 58).
A gifted comic talent with an irresistible screen presence, the Colombian star of ABC’s “Modern Family” took home $41.5 million. More than half of that came from lucrative endorsement deals with the likes of Head & Shoulders, Ninja Coffee Bar, and Careisma (for which she fronts her own line of medical scrubs). The deals have helped make Vergara a bona fide brand in her own right, tapping into her ability to conquer both English- and Spanish-speaking markets. That reach extends to Latin World Entertainment, the talent management and entertainment-marketing firm she co-founded.
Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, Vergara rose to prominence as hostess of the Univision travel series “Fuera de Serie” and was already well-known to Latino audiences when she landed her first major American feature role, in 2003’s “Chasing Papi.” With the debut of “Modern Family” in 2009, she became a star.
