The beautiful star earned $43m (£32.6m) in the last 12 months with her role as Gloria Delgado-Prichett in the successful American sitcom contributing heavily to her full pay packet.
The ABC mockumentary that follows the lives of Jay Pritchett’s dysfunctional family began in 2009 and has continued to go from strength-to-strength, helping to push Sofia’s TV profile even higher.
