Actress Sofia Vergara topped Forbes.com’s highest-earning TV actresses list, which was released on Wednesday. Vergara, 40, earned $19 million in the past 12 months thanks to her Emmy Award-winning role on “Modern Family,” a clothing line and a score of endorsement deals. The Colombian-born actress beat out reality star Kim Kardashian, who took the No. 2 spot. Kardashian, who stars in the hit reality TV series “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” earned $18 million during the time frame. Like Vergara, Kardashian, 31, also earned millions due to her show, a clothing line and a series of endorsement deals.
“Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria came in third thanks to her role on the long-running show, endorsement deals, a cookbook, two fragrances and a few small movie roles. The 37-year-old actress earned $15 million. Taking the No. 4 spot was reality star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel who earned $12 million from her Bravo show, “Bethenny Ever After,” her daytime talkshow, “Bethenny,” a book and her top-selling Skinnygirl Cocktails. Finally, reality star Khloe Kardshian came in 5th place earning $11 million. Like her sister Kim, Khloe earned much of her money from their show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” the sisters’ clothing line, and the 28-year-old star’s spinoff show, “Khloe and Lamar,” which features her NBA baller husband Lamar Odom.
