The Colombian-born Vergara took the No. 1 spot thanks to her Emmy Award-winning role on the ABC sitcom, a clothing line, endorsement deals and her partnership role in Latin World Entertainment, an entertainment company that Forbes said "was poised to become a new media powerhouse."
The 40-year-old actress beat out Kim Kardashian, who came in second, earning an estimated $18 million from her reality TV series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a clothing line, endorsement deals, a huge Twitter and media presence augmented by a recent romance with singer Kanye West, Forbes said.
Eva Longoria came in third with her role on the long-running show, Desperate Housewives, which ended this year, endorsement deals and sales of a cookbook, two fragrances and a sprinkling of small movie roles, Forbes said.
Fellow Desperate Housewives actress Felicity Huffman also made the top ten, earning $9 million.
Comedian Tina Fey, creator and star of NBC comedy 30 Rock was ranked at No. 6, earning an estimated $11 million.
To compile the list, Forbes considered upfront pay, residuals, endorsements and advertising work, without deducting agent fees or expenses related to being a celebrity.
