Sofia Vergara has been named the world's highest-paid TV actress for the sixth year running

Luis Balaguer, Sofia's manager, told Forbes: "Our endorsement department is a well-oiled machine.

"Even now, our attention is on the people watching 'Modern Family' and how to appeal to them outside of the show, too."

Only a quarter of the Colombian actress' earnings are thought to made up of her TV income from 'Modern Family', with more than half coming from endorsement deals with the likes of Head & Shoulders, Pepsi and CoverGirl.

Sofia didn't have much competition for the title with Kaley Cuoco, who makes $1 million per episode for 'The Big Bang Theory', second in the list after earning $26 million, more than $15 million less than the brunette beauty.

But there was a tie for third place with both Mindy Kaling and Ellen Pompeo - who star in 'The Mindy Project' and 'Grey's Anatomy' respectively - banking $13 million.

'Law & Order: SVU' star Mariska Hargitay earned $12.5 million, just ahead of Julie Bowen, Kerry Washington and Priyanka Chopra who received $12 million, $11 million and $10 million respectively.

The top 10 is completed by 'House of Cards' actress Robin Wright's $9 million earnings, followed by 'NCIS' star Pauley Perrette with $8.5 million.
