The Game of Thrones season 8 went on air this Monday, putting on a two-year wait of millions of viewers worldwide. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), who has multiple coveted titles in the Khaleesi, Protector of the Realm, Breaker (1965) of Chains and Mother of Dragons is paid $ 710,000 per episode, Jon Snow, according to a report in Insider. The actor told Vanity Fair in an interview, "I get f * cking paid the same as my guy friends. We made sure of that. "Her net worth is said to be around $ 13 million.
She, along with the other four lead actors including Kit (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's (Jaime Lannister) and Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), reportedly took home around half a million episode until last season but a handsome hike.

As Emilia said, her other co-stars are paid equal fees for their roles. While it's worth $ 12 million, Peter's net worth is said to be around $ 15 million while Nikolaj's worth is rumored to be around $ 16 million. Their real sister Lena's net worth is estimated to be around $ 9 million.
Talking about Kit's onscreen sisters Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya (Maisie Williams), the actors are paid less than the lead cast. According to the Insider, both take home around $ 210,000 for playing the Stark sisters on the show.

Calling equal paycheck for all the hand members of the cast "a bit tricky" Sophie said, "Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline. And for the last series, he had something like 70 night shoots, and I did not have that many. I was like, 'you know what … you keep that money'.
Her onscreen sister Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams, is drawing even less. The actor is just 20 and has been working on the show since the age of 13.
