Story Fizz's video: Game of Thrones Cast Salaries Revealed

As Game of Thrones mania takes a hold of the planet, let’s take a closer look at each of the cast members’ pay checks this last season. Part of the A-tier list of the hit HBO series, Peter Dinklage makes a reported 500,000 US dollars per episode filmed. Apart from this he also makes a bonus that takes his total earnings per episode well over a million US dollars apiece. At present, the American born actor’s net worth is an estimated 15 million US dollars. One of the few cast members to already enjoy an onscreen career prior to his casting in the show, Dinklage has featured in a number of films including Death at a funeral, Underdog and Penelope. Lena Headey too belongs to the A-tier cast list and has a whopping 500,000 US dollars credited to her account for every episode she stars in. That apart her appearance in Hollywood films such as the 2006 blockbuster 300 all contributed to her high net worth of around 9 million US dollars. Headey will definitely have a long and fruitful career. Isaac Hempstead Wright is rumoured to have earned 150,000 US dollars per episode up to season 6 and then got a pay raise that saw him taking home around 175,000 per episode US dollars for seasons 7 and 8. Maisie Williams reportedly makes around 150,000 US dollars per episode up to season 6. Williams earnings for season 7 and 8 are unclear and rumours say that her package has been renegotiated to around 175,000 US dollars per episode. Apart from her stint on the show, Maisie Williams’ foray into Hollywood with The New Mutants has seen her net worth grow to around 6 million US dollars. At just 22 years of age, that is no small feat indeed. British-born Sophie Turner was paid around 150,000 US dollars per episode of filming up to season 6 of Game of Thrones. That is the same as bestie Maisie Williams. Another of the A-tier cast members, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau too makes a whopping 500,000 US dollars per episode. The handsome star’s net worth is around a 16 million US dollars at present. Another of the A-tier cast of the show, Emilia Clarke earns 500,000 US dollars per episode of season 8. This income does not take into account additional income she earns from bonuses on syndication payments. One of the lead characters of Game of Thrones, Kit Harrington was an unknown name in television before he landed the role of Jon Snow. Harrington reportedly earned around 300,000 US dollars for his role in seasons 5 and 6 of the hit show. It is said that Kit Harrington is being paid around 500000 US dollars per episode for seasons 7 and 8. Apart from his per episode salary, Harrington earns much more in terms of bonuses just like his A-tier co-stars Clarke, Headey and Dinklage. The exact earnings from the bonus could take his pay check over a million dollars per episode. Based on that income, the London-born actor’s net worth is estimated to be around 12 million US dollars. 0:31 | Peter Dinklage 1:09 | Lena Headey 1:51 | Isaac Hempstead Wright 2:23 | Maisie Williams 3:06 | Sophie Turner 3:48 | Nikolaj Coster-Waldau 4:29 | Emilia Clarke 5:15 | Kit Harrington
