How did Jennifer Tilly make her money?

Jennifer Tilly from Modern Family has generated her revenue through various endeavours. Primarily, she is a poker player and actress. Here is a breakdown of her sources of income:

Royalties

Jennifer married Sam Simon from 1984 until 1991. Simon was a producer and co-creator of the 2012 TV series The Simpsons. In 1993, they obtained a legal separation. Sam Simon only contributed to the show's first four seasons, but his backend ownership stakes as a co-creator and producer later led to sizable royalties.

Sam passed on in 2015. His annual royalties from the show for the final ten years of his life were between $20 to $30 million.

How much money does Jennifer Tilly make from The Simpsons? Legal records showed that Jennifer received 30% of his Simpsons earnings after his passing. That translates to presumably $10 million annually. Sam gave out hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties to animal organisations during his lifetime.
