Sophie Turner – $8 million

Much like Kit Harrington, actress Sophie Turner is also relatively new to the acting industry. She made her debut playing the character Sansa Stark in the widely acclaimed Game of Thrones series. However, unlike Kit and her other co-stars, Sophie earns a bit less, taking home only a paycheck of $175,000 per episode. Still, that was enough to cover her bills for her credit cards and to finance her dream wedding with her then-boyfriend, Joe Jonas.

Her role in Game of Thrones opened a lot of doors for her as she went on to become a part of the X-Men franchise as young Jean Grey. Sophie might be an emerging name in Hollywood, but the potential that she showed during her stay with the hugely successful series has attracted a lot of directors and producers. Projects are coming her way, so Sophie’s career will most likely flourish all the more given some time.
