3. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) — $13 million
Daenerys Targaryen, Khaleesi, the Mother of Dragons and Breaker of Chains is the central character of Game of Thrones. We could say that Emilia Clarke’s career started from this show. Just like Kit Harrington, the actress demanded a raise of payment per episode up to $500 thousand in season 7. In the final season, Clarke received more than $1 million per episode, just like all the other key actors. Last year, Emilia Clarke told Vanity Fair that she was paid as much as her friends.
