Forbes Magazine has released its annual list of the highest paid television actresses. It takes into account data obtained between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017, and does not include taxes and fees.
Celebrities on the Forbes list have earned $ 156.5 million this year.
We present you the rating of the richest Hollywood TV actresses of 2017.
10. Paulie Perrette
Over the year, her income amounted to 8.5 million dollars.
The list opens with one of the stars of the fancifully long-lasting crime drama "Sea Police", which was extended to the 15th season. In it, Perrette plays the role of a cheerful guide, forensic expert Abby Shuto, and the soundtrack of the series includes a song performed by her (along with Cote de Pablo).
9. Robin Wright
Over the year, it became richer by $ 9 million.
The actress, who played the role of the first lady of the United States in the popular series “House of Cards,” is the only newcomer to the top 10 most expensive television actresses. Despite this, Wright stated that she has yet to achieve salary parity with her partner Kevin Spacey. “I don’t think I get paid the same amount,” the actress said in an interview with Rhapsody Magazine. “They promised me that they would give an increase, but ... I do not believe in it. I really don't like being fooled. ”
8. Priyanka Chopra
Received $ 10 million for the year.
The only Bollywood actress on the Forbes list. Over 50 percent of her income comes from advertising. Next year, Priyanka may not be among the ten richest television actresses, as the Bollywood Life publication reported that Chopra had to make a significant reduction in fees to continue filming in the American television series Quantico.
7. Kerry Washington
Earned 11 million dollars.
The series "Scandal" in which Washington plays will end this year (there are a total of 7 seasons). Therefore, the actress is likely to leave the list in 2018. But it’s unlikely that the dark-skinned beauty is very worried now. She recently became a mother for the second time. Due to her pregnancy, the filming of Scandal was postponed, and the seventh season has fewer episodes than the previous ones.
6. Julie Bowen
The amount of annual income is $ 12 million.
The star of the comedy television show The American Family is also known for roles like Carol in the television series Ed, Denise Bauer in Boston's Lawyers, and Sarah Shepard in Staying Alive.
In 2011, the actress and her colleagues in the TV series "American Family" were awarded the Screen Actors Guild Award for "Best Acting Ensemble." And this, one might say, is a hard-won victory, because Bowen was nominated for this award annually, starting in 2006, for various series, such as Boston Lawyers and Shoals.
5. Mariska Hargitay
Revenue amounted to $ 12.5 million.
The daughter of the legendary Jane Mansfield (the form of the Barbie doll was copied from her) is best known for her role as detective Olivia Benson in the crime series Law and Order: Special Corps. The actress has been participating in the filming since 1999, and since 2007, her fee for each series is 400 thousand dollars. “Law and order” has already 19 seasons (the show of the 19th began in September 2017) and may not be satisfied with what has been achieved, which means that the name Marishka Hargitay will not disappear from the list of the richest television stars.
4. Ellen Pompeo
Received 13 million dollars per year.
Pompeo is a veteran of the series Anatomy of Passion. She has been playing it since 2005. For each series, she receives 350 thousand dollars.
And the actress made her debut in the Moonlight Mile, where she starred with Jake Gyllenhaal, one of the actors who was able to fantastically change his appearance for the sake of filming.
3. Mindy Kaling
Annual earnings - 13 million dollars.
The star of the “Office” project got the third place in the rating. Most of her income came from payments for various films, as well as an advertising deal with McDonald's.
2. Kaley Cuoco
Earned $ 26 million per year.
The Big Bang star took second place in the ranking of the highest paid foreign television actresses in 2017. Although Cuoco’s fee is $ 1 million per episode, she has no advertising contracts, unlike the celebrity topping the list.
In addition, this year, the actress, along with several other actors of The Big Bang Theory, refused to raise fees so that two other participants in the famous series (Mayim Bialik and Melise Rauch) could pay more.
1. Sofia Vergara
The annual income is 41.5 million dollars.
The heroine of the TV series "American Family" managed to stay on the top of the list of the highest paid TV actresses for six consecutive years. About a quarter of Vergara’s income came from filming in The American Family, but advertising contracts with Head & Shoulders, Pepsi and CoverGirl, as well as sales of perfumes under the Sofia Vergara brand, also contributed.
