Actress Emilia Clarke denied earning $300,000 (₹2.8 crore) per episode for 'Game of Thrones', calling the claims "widely exaggerated". "We didn’t earn that much. Can you imagine? I’d have been driving a couple of Porsches," she said. Emilia, who played Daenerys Targaryen, said she could pay off her parents' mortgage from the money she made from the show.
