Kit Harington, Jon Snow, earns £2m (N928m), per episode

Kit Harington was a fairly unknown actor until he joined Game of Thrones as Jon Snow. And now, he has not only featured in several other big films, he reportedly earns £2m (N928m) per episode of the hit HBO fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

Harington is, however, not the only person making that amount; other stars —  Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Danish co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lanister) also earn £2m in each episode of the film.

The big cash had come from bonus clauses, which saw the stars earning percentages of the syndication payments that come from the record-breaking show being aired in more than 170 countries.

The stars are also said to be benefitting from payments from re-runs, with shows earning audiences of up to 23 million people during the sixth season.

Meanwhile, Harington is reportedly worth $12m (N4.3bn).
