In fact, we have no idea how much Harington earned during his first years of the HBO’s smash hit series but it was likely pretty small. In spite of the fact that Harington is now one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, he was quite unknown when being cast for the role of Jon Snow.

However, everything changed in 2014 when the actor realized how important he was in the show. According to Deadline, Harington, together with his co-stars Lena Headey, Emilia Clark, Peter Dinklage, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, negotiated their salary up to 300,000 dollars each episode for seasons five and six.
