Forbes has released its annual rankings of the highest-paid women on television. And let's just say it pays to be funny. A LOT. Via data collected between June 1, 2015 and June 1, 2016, the magazine has confirmed that the three actresses who banked the most bucks during that time period all star on popular comedies. Not that the seven other stars listed below fared very poorly, of course. Ready to count down from #10 to #1? Let's do this… 10. Julie Bowen – $10 Million Julie Bowen, of course, stars as Claire Dunphy on Modern Family. 9. Julianna Margulies – $10.5 Million The Good Wife star is now unemployed. Who wants to write her next huge paycheck? 8. Priyanka Chopra – $11 Million Not too shabby for an actress with just one season of a hit show (Quantico) on her resume. 7. Stana Katic – $12 Million No wonder Stana Katic was pissed over basically getting fired from Castle. She made a lot of money! 6. Kerry Washington – $13.5 Million Who knew you could make so much money just by burying scandals and secrets in DC? 5. Ellen Pompeo – $14.5 Million Heck, she could probably ask for anything she wants at this point. She IS Grey’s Anatomy. View Slideshow
