Sofia Vergara’s Hot Confession: “Modern Family” Actress Uses ‘Sexy Bimbo’ Image To Her Advantage; Reveals Where Her $30-M Salary Goes

Call it a language barrier, but "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara doesn't see anything wrong with the term "sexy bimbo." In fact, she's cashing in on the image to the tune of $30 million.

The figure effectively makes her the highest paid actress on TV by Forbes mag for second consecutive year. Not bad for a bimbo!

As the 41-year-old told Glam Belleza Latina: "I think that the concept of being sexy and smart is difficult for many to grasp. Most people are more comfortable with the notion of 'sexy bimbo.' And I have to admit that I've capitalized on that."

Sofia Vergara said she always end up getting the better deal during negotiations of her salary because "when the 'smart ones' think I have no idea what I can deliver, and I end up costing them more."

While many American actresses put on false humility in order not to alienate their fans, it's refreshing to see Sofia befing unapologetic.

"I'm not ashamed to say I love making money," the actress confessed.

"I like business and the truth is I save way more than I spend. I invest. I plan for the future. I have a special eye for opportunities and work harder than anyone might expect. It is fun to shock people with my business ideas. Most people just see me as Gloria," Sofia Vergara added, referring to her character in "Modern Family."

Sofia, who has a 21-year-old son from a previous marriage, earns about $175,000 per episode of the ABC hit "Modern Family" along with a certain percentage of the back-end earnings.

Aside from the sitcom, Sofia also has a number of endorsement deals such as Comcast, Diet Pepsi, CoverGirl, State Farm, Kmart and Sears, which paid her $7 million as an advance in 2012. This Colombian "bimbo" is certainly taking advantage of her being a bilingual artist to appeal both to American and Latino audience.
