According to the rankings of the 14th annual Forbes Celebrity 100 list, Sofia Vergara, the star of popular comedy series Modern Family, stands out as the highest-paid actress on prime-time television, for the second straight year. Over the past year, her earnings reached US $30 million, due not only to her work on TV projects, but also endorsements and licensing deals.

Vergara, who in 1998 cofounded Latin World Entertainment (along with Luis Balaguer), a Hispanic talent management and entertainment marketing firm, has signed some endorsement deals that establish her as one of the most in-demand spokespeople, sought-after by marketers because of her undeniable cross-over appeal. Diet Pepsi, CoverGirl, Rooms To Go and thyroid medicine Synthroid signed contracts this year, in addition to Spanish-language commercials for laundry detergent (ACE), as well as Comcast and State Farm insurance.

Both her endorsement and licensing deals with Kmart aggresively target the Hispanic demographic.
