Sophie Turner

Sophie Turner, born Sophie Belinda Turner on February 21, 1996, in Northampton, England, is a British actress who gained international fame for her portrayal of Sansa Stark in HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” She was raised in Chesterton, Warwickshire, and began acting at the Playbox Theatre Company at the age of three. At just 13, she auditioned for Game of Thrones and beat out hundreds of other young actresses for the role that would define her career and make her a household name.

Turner appeared on every season of Game of Thrones from 2011 to 2019, growing up on screen alongside the show’s massive global audience. Her character Sansa Stark underwent one of the most dramatic character arcs in the series, evolving from a naive girl into the Queen in the North, and Turner’s performance was widely praised by critics and fans alike. Her salary grew significantly over the course of the show, reaching approximately $175,000 per episode in the later seasons.

Beyond Game of Thrones, Turner transitioned to film with notable roles in the X-Men franchise, playing the young Jean Grey in “X-Men: Apocalypse” (2016) and “Dark Phoenix” (2019), the latter in which she starred as the titular character. She has also appeared in the psychological thriller “Survive” (2020) for the Quibi streaming platform. Her personal life has been in the spotlight due to her marriage to musician Joe Jonas in 2019, with whom she has two daughters, and their subsequent divorce proceedings in 2023.

Turner’s income extends beyond acting to include significant brand endorsement deals. She has served as a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, appeared in campaigns for various fashion and beauty brands, and has a strong social media presence that adds commercial value. Her estimated net worth of $10 million in 2026 reflects her earnings from nearly a decade on one of television’s highest-rated shows, her film career, and her endorsement portfolio.
