Emilia Clarke has an estimated net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Emilia Clarke net worth page (figures as of February 26, 2025).
Emilia Clarke is an English actress who was born on 23 October 1986. She achieved international recognition for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, which ran from 2011 to 2019 and earned her nominations for four Primetime Emmy Awards. She is also widely known for playing Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys in 2015 and Qi'ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story in 2018.
She also starred in the romantic dramas Me Before You in 2016 and Last Christmas in 2019. Her television debut was a guest appearance in the BBC One medical soap opera Doctors in 2009, at age 22. She made her Broadway debut as Holly Golightly in the play Breakfast at Tiffany's in 2013, played Nina in a West End production of The Seagull, and played G'iah in the Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries Secret Invasion in 2023.
How Emilia Clarke makes her money
Game of Thrones is the base. Because she joined the show shortly after her television debut, she grew from an unknown actress into one of the best-known faces on television, and her pay rose with each season of the series.
After the show she moved into film, with franchise roles in Terminator: Genisys and Solo: A Star Wars Story, which bring large studio fees, and romantic dramas such as Me Before You and Last Christmas, which were commercial hits.
Her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Secret Invasion, adds another high-profile credit.
Stage work in New York and London pays much less than screen work, but helps her reputation as an actress.
Her estimate is lower than some of the biggest names in television, partly because Game of Thrones ended in 2019 and she has taken on a mix of films, stage work and smaller series since, rather than a long run of leading film roles.
