Sofía Vergara Net Worth $130 Million
Sofia Vergara’s father was a cattle rancher, and mother a homemaker. Sofia studied dentistry at university, but short of graduating, she couldn’t resist the many suggestions for her to become a model, and chose modeling and show business over her studies. Her first appearance was in a commercial for “Pepsi”, and from that time Vergara’s net worth began growing. In 1995 Sofia started working on the show called “Fuera de Serie”, which made her more popular and recognized, and she later appeared in “Entourage” and “A que no te Atreves”, adding further to her net worth.
In 2007 she began acting in the TV show called “Amas de Casa Desesperadas”, which was based on the American show “Desperate Housewives”, and in which she had an opportunity to work with Ruddy Rodriguez, Ana Maria Orozco, Marisol Romero, Lorena Meritano and others. Two years later Sofia was cast in one of the most famous television shows, entitled “Modern Family”, which became one of the main sources of Vergara’s net worth. While filming this sitcom, Sofia met such actors as Ed O’Neill, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Ty Burrell and others. In July 2011, she filmed her first leading role in the Farrelly brothers‘ “The Three Stooges”, then appeared in “Vida con Toty”, her son Manolo’s YouTube web series.
In addition to her acting career, Sofia also has other activities. In 2011 she started working with “Cover Girl” magazine, and subsequently started her own clothing line, as well as working with “State Farm”, “Rooms To Go”, “Diet Pepsi” and others. “People” magazine has listed her in the ’50 Most Beautiful People”, plus she has received a Star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, which have all helped add to Sofia’s net worth.
Although her career as an actress is successful, her personal life was not that perfect: Vergara’s brother was murdered and Sofia was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which she has overcome. Sofia married Joe Gonzalez in 1991, but their marriage did not last long as they divorced in 1993; they have a son. In 2015 she married Joe Manganiello, and the couple are based in Florida.
