Maisie Williams net worth: Astonishing fortune of Game of Thrones star Arya Stark revealed

Game of Thrones is set to return for season 8 next Sunday. The latest series of the HBO series will see Maisie Williams reprise her role as Arya Stark of Winterfell.

Maisie Williams net worth

According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, the Bristol-born star is worth an estimated $6 million (around £4.6 million).

Her work in Game of Thrones is likely to have been a large contributor to this incredible figure.

The website claimed she scoops $150,000 per episode, which works out at roughly £114,000.

However, Variety recently revealed that Maisie was actually making $175,000 (£133,000) per episode in 2017.

This means she is being paid the same amount as her co-star Sophie Turner (who plays Sansa Stark) and Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark).

Meanwhile, some other cast members are earning even more money for their time in Game of Thrones.

The publication reported that Emilia Clarke, who has an estimated net worth of $13 million (£9.9 million), gets paid $500,000 (£380,000) per episode.

Jon Snow actor Kit Harrington, who has an estimated net worth of $12 million (£9.1 million) is also thought to be paid this huge figure for each episode he works on.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar UK, Sophie, 23, addressed the topic of her co-star Kit being paid more money.

On the pay gap, she said: “Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline.

”And for the last series, he had something crazy like 70 night shoots, and I didn’t have that many. I was like, ‘You know what… you keep that money.'”

The actor has an inclusion rider as part of her contract, which aims to improve diversity onset, by ensuring 50/50 gender parity in the workforce.
