Forbes has released the list of Highest Paid Actresses of 2020. Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has scored the top spot with earnings of $43 million. Angelina Jolie is at the second spot with an earning of $35.5 million. Sofia and Angelina are followed by Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot with $31.5 million.
Sofia has hit the top spot all thanks to her fat paycheck from Modern Family at $500,000 per episode. Also, thanks to her earnings as a judge on the reality TV show America’s Got Talent. She reportedly receives an estimated $10 million per season. The actress has added to her earnings by a series of endorsements and licensing deals.
“She padded that income with a series of endorsement and licensing deals,” reported Forbes. The Emmy-winning Modern Family came to an end in April this year after successfully running for 11 seasons.
Here is the complete list of the top ten highest-paid actresses:
1. Sofia Vergara: $43 million
2. Angelina Jolie: $35.5 million
3. Gal Gadot: $31.5 million
4. Melissa McCarthy: $25 million
5. Meryl Streep: $24 million
6. Emily Blunt: $22.5 million
7. Nicole Kidman: $22 million
8. Ellen Pompeo: $19 million
9. Elisabeth Moss: $16 million
10. Viola Davis: $15.5 million
Scarlett Johansson, who topped last year, couldn’t make it to the top 10, reported Forbes. There is not a single Bollywood actress in the top ten list.
Earlier this year, wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson grabbed the top spot as the Highest-Paid actor of 2020. Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is the only Indian celebrity on the list. He had grabbed the fourth spot with his earnings estimated at $48.5 million.
