Peter Dinklage

It’s no surprise that the main cast members of the wildly successful show Game Of Thrones have made a great deal of money. Peter Dinklage, who won several Emmy awards playing Tyrion Lannister on the show,  made $1.1 million per episode for the last two seasons.

The actor struggled financially, acting in plays that paid $50, and turning down commercials that wanted him to play a leprechaun. He has said that he couldn’t even afford his rat-infested apartment. He’s come a long way, now with a net worth of about $25 million.
