Quick Links
The popular American sitcom Modern Family has announced its final season will be airing between 2019 to 2020. The show that has touched our hearts and provoked a variety of emotions in us will soon be over. We all hate to see it go, nevertheless, it has been a successful run.
While not all the cast of Modern Family have a jaw-dropping net worth (they each are worth millions anyway), there are some who do. Also, while not all the cast members are particularly extravagant in their spending, some run in the big leagues. Here are 10 ridiculously expensive things some of the characters in Modern Family have spent their money on.
Sofia Vergara’s Beverly Hills Home
In 2014, Sophia Vergara, a Colombian-American actress who plays the role of Gloria Pritchett in Modern Family, bought a house in Beverly Hills worth $10.6 million. She purchased the villa, which has seven rooms and 11 bathrooms just before her marriage to actor Joe Manganiello. The house also has a wine cellar big enough to accommodate three thousand bottles. Enough to be drunk for a lifetime. That is a lot of bottles.
Still, within her property is a swimming pool, a sauna, and a gym. Like most celebrity houses, the master bedroom has a walk-in closet (that means it’s very big). Outside the house through the kitchen back door is a large terrace.
Kevin Hart’s Lion King Baby Shower
Kevin Hart who played Phil’s neighbor Andre in 2012 in “Planes, Trains, and Cars,” spent an obscene amount on a baby shower. He and his wife Eniko Parrish held a baby shower for their upcoming child, Kenzo, at an exclusive beach club in Malibu, California. There were all kinds of Lion King-themed happenings. Even the family dog was decked out in a lion mane for the event. Kevin and Parrish jointly spent a total of $117,855 on the shower. They shared videos via their individual Snapchat accounts. Guests were given a Snapchat filter custom made for the event and Eniko’s mother participated in a taste-testing contest on gluten-free, vegan baby food.
Sofia Vergara’s Bentley Bentayga
Sofia is quite famous for her car collection. The actress, who has a net worth of $160 million, tops the list of the world’s highest-paid TV actresses followed by Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco. Amongst Sofia’s car collections is her Bentley Bentayga. The automobile is said to have cost the actress $232,000. That is certainly an expensive way to get around. As if that wasn’t enough, the actress still owns a black Range Rover Sport that can cost anywhere between $89 to $200 thousand. She seems to have a liking for the brand because she also has a white Range Rover Sport.
Ed O’Neill’s Hawaiian Home
Ed O’Neill is an American actor and comedian who plays the role of Jay Pritchett in the American sitcom Modern Family. The 73-year-old recently bought a house covering an area of 4,200 square feet in Hawaii. Probably in preparation for a vacation towards the ending of the show in 2020. The property on the island of Hawaii is said to have cost the actor $6.25 million. The house features four bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, and an open floor plan to let those wonderful Hawaiian breezes come through. It looks like the actor, who has a net worth of $65 million, is planning to enjoy a bit of his wealth.
Julie Bowen’s New House
Following her divorce from Scott Phillips, Bowen, who plays the role of Claire Dunphy in Modern Family bought herself a mid-century style lavish home in the Hollywood Hills. The purchase was made less than a month after the house was listed. The property is said to have cost the 49-year-old American actress $3.1 million.
To show just how much she wanted the luxurious house, Bowen paid $250,000 above the asking price, to assure that she would acquire the home for herself and her family. That’s an expensive way to show appreciation for a property you’re paying to own. But not for Julie anyway.
Ty Burrell Buys Cheviot Hills Home
Tyler Gerald Burrel plays the role of Phil Dunphy in Modern Family. The 52-year-old American actor and two time Emmy winner bought a 3,200-square-foot house worth $4.2 million. Burrell is also the man behind the voice of Bailey the beluga whale in Finding Dory. The house is a 4-bedroom apartment with three bathrooms. The design is a revival-style Spanish Colonial and is located in Cheviot Hills, outside of Los Angeles. It also has an arched colonnade that leads up to an entrance hall. An interesting fact to note is that Ty’s house is actually just a few blocks away from the house used for the shooting of the Dunphy home in Modern Family.
Ed O’Neill’s Brentwood Home
In 2011, Ed O’Neill bought a house in Brentwood from cinematographer Robert Richardson worth a whopping $3.05 million. The house which was designed back in 1953 by Cliff May has walls enclosing only the restrooms and bathing areas. Other rooms have curtains draped from their entrances in a typical ranch style. Said to be an experiment on open living was changed by Richardson during his ownership of the property. That’s a good thing too, otherwise, that would have been quite an amount to spend on an open house, it was basically buying a house with no privacy. That’s not really something that a veteran actor like Ed O’Neill would want.
Rico Rodriguez
Rico started as a child actor with his first major role being his portrayal of Manny Delgado, the son of Gloria Pritchett in Modern Family. Manny is a bit of a ‘Mama’s Boy,’ and in real life, it appears Rico is actually quite fond of his on-screen mom. The American actor has also written a book titled Reel Life Lessons…So Far, which was published in 2012. Rico bought his first car at the age of 21, just three weeks after getting his driver’s license. The actor’s Lincoln Navigator starts at a whopping $73,205. The youngster has a net worth of $12 million.
Sarah Hyland’s Audi A5
Sarah Hyland is an American actress who plays the role of Haley Dunphy in Modern Family. She has received numerous awards for her portrayal in the TV series as well as critical acclaim. Sarah is also the person behind the voice of Tifu in the popular children’s show Lion Guard. She drives an Audi A5 convertible which starts at $51,200. She also owns a Lincoln Navigator, which she drove to the FYC event for Modern Family in 2018. The actress, who is also a recipient of the Glamour Award for Comedy Series, currently has a net worth of $14 million.
Ariel Winter’s Mercedes-Benz G Wagon
Ariel Winter is an American actress who plays the role of Alex Dunphy in the ABC sitcom ModernFamily. The actress is also the voice behind the title character in Sofia the First, a popular kids show on Disney Junior. The 21-year-old actress drives a Mercedes-Benz G Wagon. The car which starts at over $100 thousand is not a car for the faint of heart. But Ariel prefers to ride in style, after all, she is a princess (Sofia the First or even Ariel the First). The actress didn’t just purchase the insanely expensive G-Class Mercedes, she had it customized to her taste which costs even more money. Ariel also owns a Range Rover.
