The Modern Family star, who celebrates her second anniversary as the highest-paid actress on television, upped the ante this year with a major salary increase. In addition to the show endorsement deals with Diet Pepsi, Covergirl, Rooms to Go and thyroid medicine Synthroid make her one of the most in-demand spokespeople as marketers hope to capture her high-wattage crossover appeal. Vergara's Kmart-based line of clothing and home goods continues to thrive and is credited with increasing the retailer's market share with the Hispanic community. Vergara is also the executive producer on the forthcoming ABC show Killer Women. Total earnings: $30 million.
