The Richest 'Game of Thrones' Stars, Ranked by Net Worth (No. 1 Beats No. 2 by a Landslide!)

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.

The Richest Marvel Villains Ranked, & Does the Villain With the Largest Net Worth Beat the Wealthiest MCU Hero?

Any fan of superhero movies knows that a potential blockbuster is only as good as the villain that their favorite heroes face off against.

Thankfully, within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that’s never a problem! The iconic franchise has amassed an incredible lineup of heroes and an equally popular crew of supervillains who are always trying to ruin the day.

Of course, part of what makes the MCU so great is the multitude of morally gray characters. Take Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki, for example. He’s a villain who is beloved to many for his enduring heart of gold. On the flip side, Elizabeth Olsen‘s Scarlet Witch embraced her dark side, becoming the villain in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The other thing that makes Marvel’s villains a treat is that we often get mega-stars in the role. Hollywood icons and talented newcomers alike have suited up as evildoers.

With such a talented group, you might be wondering who has amassed the largest approximate net worth over the years? We did some digging and put together a ranking from lowest to highest, and the top earner beats the competition with a worth of around $200 million!

Was that also enough to beat out the wealthiest hero in the MCU?
