15 Richest Game of Thrones Cast Members

"Game Of Thrones"

The Game of Thrones is a hit television series that took the world by storm when it first aired in 2011. The show follows the characters from a book called “A Song of Ice and Fire,” written by George R.R. Martin, a best-selling book that has many fans. The storyline is all about kings, queens and the monarchy. It’s two families pitted against one another in a tangled web of lies, deception and royalty. The series is a huge hit that so many fans have come to love, and it’s one of the most talked about shows on television.

With a huge following and an amazing storyline, the actors and actresses who are portrayed in GoT are not all hugely famous. Many of them were not even working actors before they were cast to portray the men and women in these two powerful and hate-filled families, and now they are living the dream making millions of dollars, finding adoring fans across the world and living lives they never thought possible. Now that they’re well into the series and they’ve become such famous stars, they’re making more money and they’re each contributing handsomely to their net worth.

The man behind Tyrion Lannister is one of the most famous men on the show, and he has a substantial net worth to back that up.

Lena Heady

Lena Headey – $1.5 million

Someone has to play the very important role of Cersei Lannister, and it might as well be her. She is one of the most prominent actresses on this series, and with good reason. Her character’s role in GoT is more important than just about any other character. She is one who will be around so long as the show is around, and that means she will continue to improve her net worth and her standing.

Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke – $3 million

One of the most famous actresses in all of Hollywood, Emilia Clarke knows what it’s like to be famous. She knows what it’s like to be recognized everywhere you go, to have a very public life to lead and to have trouble finding privacy. Her role as Daenerys Targaryen is probably one of the most famous roles on the show, and she’s one of the most famous actresses; a certain fan favorite.

Kit Harington – $4 million

Jon Snow is the most beloved character on the entire series; a real fan favorite with a following of young ladies who would do anything to have a piece of Jon Snow all to themselves. The role he plays would not be played as well by any other actor, and the show makes sure that Kit Harington is well compensated for playing the heartthrob that everyone has fallen in love with.

Sophie Turner

Sophie Turner – $5 million

Sansa Stark’s role in GoT is paramount. Without her, the show would not be able to take on the particular storyline that it’s managed to use for so long. Because Sophie Turner was born to play this role, she is well paid to portray this character and all of her twisted personality issues. Her net worth will continue to grow as the actresses takes on other roles in Hollywood and becomes a more mainstream actress.

Maisie williams

Maisie Williams – $3 million

The girl who plays Arya Stark is still just a girl. At just 19, she had no formal acting under her belt before she took on this role, which is perfect for her. She was a very young girl, but her portrayal of Arya is so compelling that he was given an Emmy Award for her ability to so perfectly portray this particular character. She’s one to watch, too, as she will certainly become more famous as she gets older.

Iain Glen

Iain Glen – $3 million

Even though he does not have one of the most famous names in Hollywood, Iain Glen knows that he has a good job in his pocket right now. His acting career wasn’t lacking for any jobs in the past, but he managed to pick up roles that made him a very recognizable face but not necessarily a very recognizable name. That’s all changing, though, as he took on this role and has become one of the most famous characters in television.

Nikolaj

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – $6 million

He plays the twin brother of Queen Cersei and he is also Tyrion’s older brother. What we love most about this character is his wit and his charm. He’s so self-effacing that he gets himself into trouble more often than not, making it nearly impossible for people to dislike him. However, he’s a bit of a black sheep at times, playing the role so perfectly you might assume he’s the same way in reality.

John Bradley

John Bradley – $1 million

As Samwell Tarly, it’s not always easy to see the difference in his television personality and his real one. He might not love that when he meets people for the first time, but there is something very amazing to be said about the fact that you can take a role and portray it so well that people assume you are that person in real life.

Alfie Allen

Alfie Allen – $2.1 million

Heon Greyjoy is one of the most prominent characters in the show, though he isn’t the main character. He’s been in only 34 episodes of the 56 that have aired so far. However, he’s so important to his own story line that being absent in so many episodes is not something that has hindered his character’s importance or the way his fans feel about his role on the show.

Conleth Hill

Conleth Hill – $2 million

Lord Varys is one of the most important parts of this show, and for good reason. Conleth Hill is well on his way to becoming more famous than he ever imagined, and we know it’s his substantial range as an actor to take on roles that so many others might consider out of their range. He is not intimidated by this powerful role, and he has no problem portraying someone who has such as distinct personality and such a distinct fan base.

Aidan Gillen

Aidan Gillen – $4 million

Petyr Littlefinger Baelish is a character you either love or you hate. There is no getting around the fact. He’s your cup of tea or he is not your cup of tea. What you cannot deny, however, is that the actor is brilliant in his role. It makes it easy to understand why he’s amassed such a nice financial package over the past few years when you take the time to really consider how well he plays his part on the series.

Gwendoline Christie

Gwendoline Christie – $500 Thousand

Her portrayal of Brienne of Tarth ran for 29 episodes, making her one of the main characters in this show. She might not be a household name at this point in time, but her character is one that people seem to love and adore, and she has a bright future ahead of her. She is an actress with a diverse range, which helps to assume she will continue to build her net worth with other roles upon ending her time on this hit series.

Jerome Flynn

Jerome Flynn – $3 million

Bronn was a huge part of this cast until 2015 when it was his time to go. He appeared in a staggering 28 episodes, which is enough to make him one of the most important characters in the series to date. His role on the show might not have made him a household name, but his acting abilities are certainly not ones you can easily forget. We assume he will be back with new roles in the near future, adding to his already impressive net worth.

Charles Dance

Charles Dance – $5 million

Though he is no longer part of the show, he was one of the main cast members for many years. He played the character Tywin Lannister, and everyone loved his character as he added so much to the show. The loss of this character was difficult on fans, but it’s one of those shows in which you know that characters have to go over time, and you have no choice but to get with the program and learn to accept the inevitable.
