Emilia Clarke, Famous for Game of Thrones, Discloses Her Remarkable Net Worth

Emilia Clarke is widely recognized for her iconic portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen, the fierce Dragon Queen in Game of Thrones. While her breakthrough came with the HBO series that premiered in 2011, she first appeared on screen in 2009.

Over the years, Clarke has starred in numerous films and TV shows, appeared in a noteworthy advertisement for the Samaritans charity, secured brand endorsements, and more. But what is her actual financial standing?

As reported by CheatSheet, the 32-year-old star boasts a substantial net worth of $13 million.

Her most significant earnings undoubtedly stem from

Game of Thrones, where she is set to receive a salary of $500,000 per episode in the final season. With only six episodes, this amounts to an impressive $3 million. Clarke, along with her co-star Lena Headey (who portrays Cersei Lannister), reportedly earns the same as their male counterparts: Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, making them HBO's top-paid actors.

Clarke's journey in acting started in school theater, and she secured her first television role in 2009 with a guest appearance on the British series Doctors. She also featured in the 2009 SYFY movie Triassic Attack. By 2010, she was cast as Daenerys Targaryen, a role that has since earned her three Emmy nominations (and counting).

While starring in Game of Thrones, Clarke has also taken on diverse projects. In 2015, she portrayed Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys, and in 2016, she appeared in Me Before You. Notably, she joined the Star Wars universe as Qi'ra in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. In 2019, she collaborated with Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding in Paul Feig's comedy, Last Christmas.

Beyond leading roles, Clarke has lent her voice to characters in Futurama and Robot Chicken. She also serves as the ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana's "The One" fragrance.
