It seems that no one stands a chance in outranking the stunning Sofia Vergara.

According to Forbes, the perennially sexy 44-year-old earned the top spot on their TV actress list for the fifth year in a row, earning a whopping $43 million dollars before management fees and taxes are deducted.

Not only does this make her close to $20 million richer than runner-up Kaley Cuoco (who raked in $24.5 million), this also solidifies her spot over her small screen male counterparts. Basically, it means Sofia is a straight up boss. 

Aside from her work on ABC’s long-running sitcom, Modern Family, Vergara’s signature voice can be heard during an array of commercials and endorsements, ranging from makeup to medical scrubs. These all lent a big hand in the 66% increase to her earnings reported from the previous year.
