The Shocking Net Worths: Who is the Richest Star of Westeros?
The massive global success of Game of Thrones translated into astronomical earnings for its key cast, particularly in the later seasons where they reportedly earned up to $1.2 million per episode. The following estimated net worths, current as of 2024, show the financial scale of their success.
The financial ranking is often surprising to fans, as early cast members who appeared in fewer seasons have been overtaken by those who remained until the finale, and by actors with established careers before the show.
- Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister): Estimated Net Worth of $25–$30 Million. Dinklage is consistently ranked as the wealthiest actor from the main cast, a testament to his long-standing career and high-value endorsements.
- Kit Harington (Jon Snow): Estimated Net Worth of $14 Million. Harington's fortune reflects his central role in the show and his subsequent work in Marvel's *Eternals* and other high-budget projects.
- Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark): Estimated Net Worth of $10 Million. Her net worth is bolstered by her successful film career (including the *X-Men* franchise) and her high-profile marriage to Joe Jonas.
- Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell): Estimated Net Worth of $7 Million. Despite her character's earlier exit, Dormer's prior success in *The Tudors* and *The Hunger Games* keeps her net worth high.
- Maisie Williams (Arya Stark): Estimated Net Worth of $6 Million. Williams's wealth is impressive given her young age and focus on independent, artistic projects post-GoT.
- Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth): Estimated Net Worth of $4–$7 Million. Christie's success in *Star Wars* and Netflix's *Wednesday* has significantly boosted her post-GoT earnings.
