American actor, director, model and writer Jason Momoa is best known for playing Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones" and the titular character in DC's "Aquaman."  However, outside of these roles, he has also been part of many projects which have boosted his net worth substantially. 

But in 2020, Momoa reportedly struggled quite a lot with his finances and was in debt. "We were starving after 'Game of Thrones,'" he shared. "I couldn’t get work. It’s very challenging when you have babies and are completely in debt," he said, per Refinery29. Jason Momoa is doing alright now, with a net worth of $25 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Jason Momoa's sources of income

His main income comes from the movies and he also makes a lot from endorsements. Momoa's character was part of "Game of Thrones" first season when the TV show was not yet a global phenomenon. So, it doesn't look like he made a lot from GoT. Momoa pretty much struggled even after his time in 'GoT.' 

Momoa was paid close to $15 million for his roles in "Aquaman" and "Lost Kingdom," per Screen Rant. Momoa reportedly signed a deal that mentioned a sequel. However, he renegotiated after the first film as it went on to become a success.
