According to a new report by Variety magazine, the Game of Thrones (GoT) stars are some of the highest earning stars in the entertainment business right now.
However, with overwhelming award-nominations and ever increasing viewership, is it really any surprise?
Here’s how much some of your favourite Game of Thrones stars are making.
According to Variety, Kit is said to earn approximately US$500,000 per episode.
It appears, gender is no barrier when it comes to pay on the set of Game of Thrones. The two female leads also get paid US$500,000 according to Variety.
The actors (who play brothers on the show) also earn a cool US$500,000 per episode.
If these financial figures are accurate, these stars will make at least US$3.5 million just from season 7 alone!
According to several reports, Maisie is said to have a net worth of US$3 million, which, when you consider that Game of Thrones is her most notable work, you realise just how much she’s making!
While HBO and Variety hasn’t revealed her salary, reports have stated that Sophie’s net worth is approximately US$5 million. While we’re sure some of the money came from her work in X-Men: Apocalypse, we’re sure she’s well paid on the GoT set.
After all, before season 7 was even filmed, Telegraph reported that both Maisie and Sophie have had pay negotiations.
