Katheryn Winnick – $4 Million
It wouldn’t be easy to find someone that can play Lagertha in “Vikings,” as well as Katheryn Winnick did. She played that role from the first season of the series until 2020, when it ended. Winnick reportedly earned $400K per episode on the show, bringing her salary per season to $4 million.
That’s a considerable sum but nothing less than what she deserved, considering she didn’t use stunt doubles for several of her action scenes. It turns she’s actually a hardcore martial artist; she had her first black belt at age 13. She joined the cast of “Big Sky” in 2020, and we’ve been watching her action scenes with more interest!
