Long gone are the times when model Linda Evangelista refused to get out of bed for less than $10,000, nowadays some of these ladies won’t even leave their house for anything short of a million bucks.

According to Forbes, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara took out first place raking in an incredible $28.5million this financial year.

Tying in first place was The Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, who reportedly earns around $1 million per episode from the sitcom.

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting (L) tied with Sofia as the highest-paid TV actress of 2015, while Modern Family star Julie Bowen came third.

Not far behind was Sofia’s co-star Julie Bowen, who took around $12 million to the bank, while Taylor Swift’s squad member Ellen Pompeo from Grey’s Anatomy and Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU) both earned a cool $11 million each.

Last month, Forbes released the highest-paid actors list which proved The Big Bang Theory is a giant money earner with the entire main cast all earning over $20 million each.
