SOFIA Vergara owns her and her estranged husband Joe Manganiello’s entire $44 million property empire, The U.S. Sun has exclusively learned.
According to court documents, the couple’s two Beverly Hills properties are solely in Sofia’s name.

And, despite Sofia’s mega $180 million net worth, she’s amassed a shocking total of $22 million in loans on her two luxury properties.
Joe, 46, and Sofia, 51, have been living in a stunning Tuscan-style Beverly Hills villa together since they purchased the property for $26 million in June 2020.
The 17,000 square feet property has six bedrooms and ten bathrooms but has a $15.6 million mortgage with First Republic Bank.
According to court documents, the interest rate over 30 years is 2.8 percent, which works out at $64,099 a month plus $26k in property taxes.
LIVING IN LUXURY
Sofia bought her first Beverly Hills property in February 2014, which she purchased for $10.6 million.
The mansion boasts seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and 11,269 square feet – but has a home loan worth $6.6 million with Commercial Bank.
With a similar interest rate to her other luxury pad, her monthly payments are $27,119, not including taxes.
In total, her two homes are costing Sofia $129,000 a month.
Currently, Sofia’s property she bought in 2014 is on the market for a second time listed for just shy of $18 million.
The villa was first listed last year for $20 million but was pulled from the market.
IT’S OVER
Home loans aren’t the only problems Sofia is facing as her husband Joe filed for divorce after seven years of marriage.
According to TMZ, the actor filed the paperwork last Wednesday night.
The official date of separation was listed as July 2, 2023.
The court documents list the reason for the divorce as irreconcilable differences.
A prenuptial agreement has also emerged due to the recent filing.
It’s been reported that Sofia and Joe have an airtight prenup, which keeps their fortunes entirely separate – and that includes her property portfolio.
This means the AGT judge’s $180 million net worth will not dwindle.
They have no children, so there will be no need for a custody agreement.
Each party is responsible for paying their respective lawyer fees.

Joe’s attorney is Hollywood “divorce queen” Laura Wasser, who also represented Kim Kardashian’s nasty divorce from Kanye West.
MARITAL WOES
Sofia’s love for partying was one of the factors in her split with Joe, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed.
The True Blood hunk would often stay away from his wife when she went out in Los Angeles, California, for parties or had friends over for “cocktail nights” at their mansion.
Joe, who battled alcohol addiction in his early 20s, “found it challenging to be surrounded by potential temptation,” a source told The U.S. Sun.
Sofia and Joe have experienced a “tricky past couple of years” in their marriage, which “saw them start to drift apart during the COVID pandemic,” the insider explained.
Business associates of Vergara say that she has “effectively been living like a single woman for the last few months.”
The source said: “Sofia and Joe had a good run and managed to last longer than some within her friend circle suspected.
“One factor was absolutely their differing take on partying and enjoying a cocktail.”
The insider continued: “Sofia really enjoys cocktails and drinks with girlfriends; it is one of the ways she lets her hair down.
“She has always been like that and goes out to meet up with people at their homes and also hosts little soirees at her place – but for Joe, that has become increasingly tough in recent years,” the source explained.
“He really worried that drinking alcohol again could send him spiraling, so he would always steer clear of temptation.
“Certainly in the past couple of years, she would be out alone as Joe just wanted to avoid issues. It was tough for him. Everyone was very understanding, but he encouraged Sofia to live her life and be happy.
“People around Sofia noted that they were increasingly not together and she was on her own a lot.”
SEE YA, JOE
Joe is set to leave their bougie Hollywood lifestyle behind now they are divorcing, a pal has told The U.S. Sun.
A family friend tells The U.S. Sun that one of the issues which led the couple to drift apart was their very different lifestyle aspirations.
The insider revealed: “I don’t think Joe was ever really comfortable in a giant Los Angeles mansion or on the beaches of Saint Tropez.
“He saw that stuff for what it was and only let it into his life because it made Sofia happy.
“No way is Joe staying in Beverly Hills now that he’s out of this marriage, and I would not be shocked if he found some modest small town to settle down in.
“He misses the backyard barbecues and friend group he had in the early days of his career, and he tried to recreate that vibe during this marriage, without much success.”
