As long as Hollywood has been around, fans have wondered about the net worths of their favorite stars. “How much money do you think they make?” seems to be a fairly popular debate for TV audiences and moviegoers.
With Game of Thrones becoming one of the most talked-about shows in television history, many have started talking about how deep the pockets of its stars actually go.

For Emilia Clarke, who has played Daenerys Targaryen since Season 1, the show has certainly helped her bank account. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Clarke is worth an estimated $13 million.
While that’s still a fairly high number for a television actor, expect it to rise very quickly. For being one of the biggest stars on Game of Thrones, Clarke reportedly got a hefty pay increase for the show’s final two seasons.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Clarke, along with co-stars Peter Dinklage and Kit Harrington, would be getting a massive $2.6 million for each episode from here on out. If that’s truly the case, Clarke will be hauling in just over $18 million from Game of Thrones this season.
Once Game of Thrones ends, don’t expect Clarke to fade from stardom. If anything, her role as Mother of Dragons should only boost her marketability in Hollywood.
