Sofia Vergara is currently the highest-paid television actress in the world, according to Forbes.
Vergara has been the world's highest-paid television actress for the past six years in a row. (Forbes' period ran from June 2016 to June 2017.)
Vergara reportedly made a whopping $41.5 million this past year - $15.5 million more than the world's highest-paid film actress, Emma Stone.
According to Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid TV actresses in 2017, Vergara's big financial gain this year comes not only from her role on the hit series "Modern Family," but from two licensing deals, and her uber-popular line of perfumes.
While the other women on the list have made exorbitant amounts of money this past year, none have even come close to beating Vergara's earnings.
These are the 10 highest-paid TV actresses of 2017:
10. Pauley Perrette ($8.5 million)
Perrette earned her six-figure salary from playing forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on "NCIS."
It looks as though playing Abby for the past 14 years has payed off.
9. Robin Wright ($9 million)
Thanks to her role on the acclaimed Netflix series "House of Cards," Wright has become one of the top female earners in television.
Wright also had a role in "Wonder Woman," and the upcoming films "Justice League" and "Blade Runner 2049" this year.
8. Priyanka Chopra ($10 million)
The Bollywood actress' major sources of income this year came from her drama "Quantico," as well as her endorsement deals with Pantene, Lyf Mobile, and Nirav Modi.
Chopra also had a role in the film "Baywatch" this year.
