Lena Headey

Lena Headey has been in the business since the early 1990s, but she managed to gain worldwide success when she did the mega-hit HBO series, Game of Thrones. With the show’s massive triumph, and so does its cast members’, including the 47-year-old actress. She said in an interview: “It is always a strange idea to think of undressing in front of 20 people and then dressing in front of more people.” However, when the show ended in 2019, it affected Headey’s financial status.

Sure, she might have been paid a huge amount to play her iconic character Cersei Lannister. But instead of turning it into investment money, she used it in custody and a messy legal battle with her former husband, Dan Cadan.Sadly, since GoT concluded, Headey has yet to make a steady and high income as she did then. According to reports, she already sold her house and even considered joining reality shows to make ends meet.
