For 11 seasons, the cast of Modern Family gave us laughs and delivered one of the best sitcoms of all time.
Not only did the series win Emmys, its stars cashed in, building property portfolios that would impress the show’s resident real estate agent Phil Dunphy.
By the final season, the adult cast members — Sofia Vergara, Ed O’Neill, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet — were each earning an eye-watering $US500,000 ($A767,000) per episode.
The younger cast members, including Rico Rodriguez, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, and Sarah Hyland, also saw their pay rise significantly, earning over $125,000 ($A191,000) per episode in the later seasons.
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who joined the show in season three, started with $USA35,000 ($A53,000) per episode, which later increased to $US70,000 ($A107,000) per episode.

In recent years, Winter ditched Hollywood for a quieter life after negative comments about her body took a toll on her self-esteem.
“It was just everywhere,” she told People magazine[4]. “It was every headline I read about myself, like, grown people writing articles about me saying how I looked terrible or pregnant or like a fat s**t. I mean, I was 14. It totally damaged my self-esteem.”
“I understood what it was like to be hated,” Winter added. “No matter what I was going through, I was a target. It made it very difficult to look at myself in the mirror and go, ‘I love this version of me.’”
