While it’s true that Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ season 9 star Sandra Vergara is related to renowned actress Sofia Vergara – they are first cousins – she has made her own way in entertainment. A proud Colombian, she reportedly immigrated to Los Angeles, California, in the mid-2000s in search of better opportunities and was adopted by her aunt, who is Sofia’s mother. Little did she know at the time that she would end up partly following in her cousin’s footsteps, undertaking unique projects and making significant industry-merging decisions.
How Did Sandra Vergara Earn Her Money?
Sandra Vergara kickstarted her career in her homeland as a teenager, starting out as an actress at the same time her cousin was rising the ranks in the US. Her debut role was reportedly in ‘1000 Oficios’ in 2001, following which she made an appearance in ‘Días de Santiago’ and ‘Broom Flower’ in 2004 as well as ‘Mañana te Cuento’ in 2005. However, she really started to make a name for herself at 17 thanks to her work in the 2005 series ‘Los del Solar.’ Her compelling performance also enabled the makers to ask her to reprise her role in the 2009 film. According to records, Sandra had already settled in LA by that point, where she not only continued to act but also primarily served as a makeup artist and wardrobe stylist. Her clients included Asia Argento, Bijou Phillips, Jordana Brewster, and Rumer Willis, while her credits spanned a range of projects, from ‘Condominio S.A’ to ‘Eleventh Hour’ to ‘CSI: Miami.’
In fact, she had the chance to star in the Spanish-language soap opera ‘Chico de mi Barrio’ in 2010, following which she bagged television movies and shows like ‘Friday Night,’ ‘Mann’s World,’ and ‘Fetching.’ In 2013, Sandra added a few more titles to her list, such as ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,’ ‘The Bold and the Beautiful,’ and ‘Dumb Girls.’ The year 2014 brought with it a chance to star in ‘Japy Ending’ and ‘Song from a Blackbird.’ She could have continued down this road, yet when she got an opportunity to evolve into a co-host/expert on a plastic surgery-based show called ‘Good Work’ on E! in 2015, she seized it with both hands. What followed was her landing more such incredible hosting opportunities, including Yahoo! Lifestyle Digital’s ‘Hook’d’ in 2019 and People Magazine’s ‘People (The TV Show)’ in 2020.
In between this period, Sandra did manage to make an appearance in over 70 episodes of the 2019 television series ‘Señores Papis’ as well as nine episodes of the 2020 show ‘Dos Hermanas.’ However, it appears that her priority was still to serve as a contributor to Yahoo! Lifestyle Digital and People Magazine, initially as a host and later as an entertainment journalist, before starting anew a few years later. After years of hearing her loved ones exclaim that she would do wonders in the world of real estate, she finally earned her license and landed a spot at the Oppenheim Group as a Realtor Associate.

Sandra Vergara’s Net Worth
Since Sandra has been active in the entertainment industry since she was a teenager, it goes without saying that she has managed to accumulate significant wealth. Unfortunately, her salary for each project or public appearance is not publicly known, so we can’t be certain of precisely how much she has earned over the years; however, we do have an estimate. In the early 2000s, an actor of her caliber earned roughly $10,000 per year, whereas the total sum increased to around $30,000 by the mid-2000s and to roughly $50,000 by the late 2000s or early 2010s.
Sandra had dabbled as a makeup artist and wardrobe stylist during her early years in Los Angeles before evolving into a model around 2012, at the age of 24. Thus, through these side ventures, she likely earned an average of approximately $50,000 per year for around a decade, until she ultimately moved on to become a renowned television host. In this particular position, her income possibly started at $70,000, which rose to roughly $80,000 or $90,000 by the early 2020s. The fact that Sandra has continued to act, while also turning her passion for art and spiritualness into a business, has also strengthened her financial standing in recent times. Therefore, with her rise as an artist, influencer, and realtor, taking into account her earnings, possible assets, investments, returns, and lifestyle, as well as travel expenses, we believe her net worth to be in the range of $4 million.
