Sofia Vergara's net worth is reportedly around $299 million, according to Otaku Kart. Apart from acting, her sources of income include product endorsements and licensing deals.

Showbiz Cheat Sheet reported that Vergara is also a businesswoman being the co-founder of the country's largest Hispanic-owned companies.

In 2017, the Colombian-American actress launched a subscription-based line of underwear and women's basics, EBY, which marked the start of her own clothing line.

Ten percent of the sales from EBY subscribers are given to the Seven Bar Foundation, which helps economically disadvantaged women to become entrepreneurs through micro-financing.

The Colombian-American icon said it was "fun to shock people with my business ideas" as most people only see her as Gloria, referring to her feisty and fun-loving "Modern Family" character.
