When Game of Thrones burned its glory across TV screens from 2011 to 2019, it rewrote the rules of what a fantasy series—and its cast—could achieve. With an IMDb rating of 9.2, the show launched its actors into cinematic royalty. This ranking draws from verified net worth estimates, fueled by Game of Thrones salaries, blockbuster film deals, endorsements, and smart franchise leverage, to chart who emerged wealthiest from the ashes of Westeros.
