House of the Dragon Cast Net Worth: What Reported Estimates Say

Published cast net-worth figures are estimates from different sources and years, not a verified ranking. Here’s what those outlets reported.

There is no verified public ranking of the House of the Dragon cast by net worth. Published figures are estimates from different outlets and years, so they can show what those sources have reported—but they cannot establish who is actually wealthiest.

What the reported estimates say

The figures below are estimates printed by Cosmopolitan in an August 2022 article or, for Emma D’Arcy, by Celebrity Net Worth on a page updated September 10, 2026. They are not confirmed disclosures of personal finances.

Cast member Reported amount Source and date Status
Matt Smith $9 million Cosmopolitan, 2022 Estimate
Graham McTavish $5 million Cosmopolitan, 2022 Cosmopolitan called it unverified
Steve Toussaint $4.5 million Cosmopolitan, 2022 Described as reported, not verified
Paddy Considine $4 million Cosmopolitan, 2022 Described as reported
Sonoya Mizuno $2 million Cosmopolitan, 2022 Estimate
Milly Alcock $1 million Cosmopolitan, 2022 Cosmopolitan called it an unverified report
Emily Carey No figure stated Cosmopolitan, 2022 Article said it had no figure
Emma D’Arcy $3 million Celebrity Net Worth, updated September 10, 2026 Site estimate, not a public financial disclosure

Why the figures do not name a reliable winner

The numbers are not a like-for-like comparison. Cosmopolitan’s list dates to 2022, covers selected performers, and describes some figures as unverified or estimated. Celebrity Net Worth’s later figure covers D’Arcy alone and does not validate the older estimates for the rest of the cast. Neither source provides a common method or verified cast-wide financial data.

Net worth is also different from salary: it is an estimate of assets minus liabilities, while a salary is pay for work. Cosmopolitan wrote in 2022 that HBO had not released episode-salary details for the show. Its suggested salary range was speculation based on other shows and the author’s assumptions, not a confirmed House of the Dragon rate.

Who is in the cast?

HBO’s official series page identifies Emma D’Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon, Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower. HBO describes the series as based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

For the story behind the series, Fire & Blood is the book HBO names as its source material. It offers context on House Targaryen; it does not provide evidence about the actors’ finances.
