Game of Thrones was all about the battle for the Iron Throne. We can tell you who won that fight, but we’re posing a different question today: Which star from the cast is the wealthiest with the highest estimated net worth?

HBO’s fantasy series is the sort of industry dominating, pop culture titan that comes around every so often and totally changes the game. And while the characters battled it out on the screen, the show made its stars rich in real life.

The show brought the world of Westeros to life straight from the pages of George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire novels and became a breakaway hit that fans are still talking about many years after the grand finale.

It’s such a beloved franchise that it expanded with the release of a new spinoff series House of the Dragon, which started in 2022 and was almost instantly renewed for a second season that will premiere later this year. Check out a trailer.

The cast of the original series is made up of an incredible group of talented actors. Some of them, especially the youngest stars, came to fame with Game of Thrones and have gone on to find success elsewhere. Take Sophie Turner, for example, who brought Sansa Stark to life and went on to join the X-Men franchise, portraying one of the universe’s most powerful heroes.

Others enjoyed successful careers before joining the series and continue to star in major projects across the globe in 2024.

Who has amassed the largest approximate net worth over the years?

Following news that two of the franchise stars were reuniting for a new movie, we got curious and did some digging to put together a ranking from lowest to highest. With a worth of approximately $120 million, the top earner has the competition beat by a landslide.

George R.R. Martin is pursuing legal action alongside several famous authors.

The Game of Thrones writer joins the Authors Guild, John Grisham, Michael Connelly, Jodi Picoult and a group of other famous fiction writers in a class action lawsuit on Wednesday (September 20) against OpenAI, claiming the AI technology is infringing on their works, via Deadline.

The authors claim that OpenAI copied their works “wholesale, without permission or consideration,” and argue that the company fed their works into large language models, “algorithms designed to output human-seeming text responses to users’ prompts and queries.”

“Generative AI is a vast new field for Silicon Valley’s longstanding exploitation of content providers. Authors should have the right to decide when their works are used to ‘train’ AI. If they choose to opt in, they should be appropriately compensated,” author Jonathan Franzen said in a statement.

Read the full complaint here.

Other authors in the case include David Baldacci, Mary Bly, Sylvia Day, Elin Hilderbrand, Christina Baker Kline, Maya Shanbhag Lang, Victor LaValle, Douglas Preston, Roxana Robinson, George Saunders, Scott Turow, and Rachel Vail.

The lawsuit seeks class certification, an injunction prohibiting their works from being used in the large language models without authorization, unspecified actual damages and, alternatively, statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work, via Deadline.

Terrence Hart, general counsel of the Association of American Publishers, said in a statement: “We agree that unauthorized use of literary works by AI developers presents serious questions of law that cannot simply be dismissed with assertions that the technology is ‘innovative.’ Innovative for whom? At what cost? Under what rules? We will follow the lawsuit closely.”
