Tywin Lannister tops the Westeros Rich List with an estimated net worth of £6 billion. As the head of House Lannister, he controls many of Westeros' gold mines and lands, providing him with vast wealth and resources. In second place are House Tyrell, with an estimated net worth of £2.9 billion derived from their ownership of the fertile and populated Reach region. Daenerys Targaryen ranks third on the list with assets including three dragons and an army of Unsullied worth an estimated total of £227 million.

1. Westeros Rich List
NUMBER
ONE
Tywin Lannister
£6 billion
estimated
net worth
Rich enough to bankroll
the failed monarchy of the
Baratheons while ‘alw
ays paying his
debts’, we estimate Tywin Lannister
is worth a whopping £6 billion.
Tywin is the head of the richest family in
the seven kingdoms. He controls many of
the gold mines across Westeros and his
home - Casterly R
ock - sits on top of one.
ASSETS:
3 Million Gold
Dragons: loaned
to the crown
1 Million Dragons:
Loans & various
investments
2 Million Dragons:
Reserves (A Lannister
always pays his debts!)
5 Million Dragons:
Gold mines, lands,
harbors, & property
1 Million Dragons
annually: Taxes from
Westerlands liege lords
TOTAL:
12 MILLION
GOLD DRAGONS
* 1 Gold Dragon = 1 UK Cow/Horse (£500 average UK cow/horse value).

Tyrell (House Tyrell)
£2,912,000,000
estimated
net worth
One of the great houses of the Seven
Kingdoms, House Tyrell is the second
wealthiest house in Westeros. They
own the rich, fertile farmland of
the Reach, and therefore owns the
biggest share of crops in Westeros.
The Reach is also the most hea
vily
populated area of Westeros. Thus,
House Tyrell command the largest
army in the Seven Kingdoms.
NET WORTH:
We estimate that The Reach is pretty similar to the Duchy of
Cornw
all, but considerably bigger. In 2011, The Duchy of Cornw
all
w v
as alued at £728 million. Given that The Reach is described as ‘one
of the larger regions of the Seven Kingdoms’ we decided that The
Reach must be at least four times the size of Duchy of Cornw
all.
‘The Reach’ =
4 x Duchy of Cornwall
@£728m ea
= £2,912,000,000
NUMBER
Daenarys Targaryan
£227,040,000
estimated
net worth
Despite not owning land or gold,
Daenarys sits pretty on our rich list
due to her penchant for keeping pet
dragons and commanding a large
army of ‘Unsullied’ (sla soldiers of
ve
the utmost discipline).
Based on our calculations, we
estimate Daenarys Targaryan’s net
worth to be somewhere within the
region of £227 million.
ASSETS:
3 Dragons
8,600 ‘unsullied’
Calculating the cost of the
'Unsullied' army:
"Three ships full of costly goods are
enough to buy a thousand of
Unsullied." A Song of Ice and Fire
Calculating the value of the
Dragons:
A 65' Baltic Trader ship is selling for
£220,000.
£660,000 is the estimated cost of
£1,000 Unsullied
Daenarys traded 1 of her dragons for
8,600 Unsullied. Therefore, it stands
to reason that 1 dragon is worth
£56,760,000
Therefore, 8,600 Unsullied are
worth approximately
£56,760,000
-Therefore, 3 Dragons are
worth £170,280,000
3 x 65' Baltic Trader = £660,000
Petyr Baelish
(Littlefinger)
£34,758,100
estimated
net worth
Despite his humble beginnings,
Petyr Baelish is one of the most
powerful figures in Westeros.
He is the ‘Master of coin’ – responsible
for all economic and financial
matters. He also owns at least 3
‘Gentlemen’s Clubs’. Has the unique
ability to be able to ‘rub two gold
dragons together and breed a third’.
NET WORTH:
In order to calculate Petyr’s worth, we ha drawn comparisons
ve
with modern day equiv
alents and combined their net worths:

owns a number of
‘Gentlemen’s Clubs’
He is worth an
estimated

The UK’s ‘Master of
Coin’ is Chancellor

House Martell – £25,000,000
House Martel rules over Dorne, one of the nine
constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms. The Martells
reside in Sunspear, the capital of Dorne.
6
House Arryn – £23,000,000
House Arryn rules over the Vale, one of the nine
constituent regions of Westeros. They reside inside a
castle known as the Eyrie, a fortress considered by
many to be impregnable.
7
House Baratheon – £20,000,000
While on the Iron Throne, Robert Baratheon borrowed an
estimated 6 million Gold Dragons from the Lannisters and
the Iron Bank of Braavos to fund his expensive hobbies.
Given Eddard Stark’s astonishment at this figure in A
Game of Thrones, we can assume that 6 million Gold
Dragons was a staggering amount of money to owe. Due to
this crippling debt, The Baratheons must be in a worse
financial situation than most of the other Great Houses
(even though they are currently the ruling house of
Westeros).
8
House Greyjoy – £17,000,000
Rules over the Iron Islands, a harsh and unforgiving
environment. Resides in the castle Pyke.
9
House Stark – £10,000,000
House Stark rules over the North, one of the constituent
regions of Westeros. Their home is Winterfell. All but destroyed, House Stark is a shadow of the Great House it used
to be, though there are bannermen who are still loyal to this
ancient and respected family.
10
Iron Bank of Braa
vos – £????
The Iron Bank of Braavos lent money to the Iron Throne
during Robert Baratheon’s reign to fund his expensive
hobbies. We suspect that the Bank of Braavos is likely to
hold more money than even the Lannisters, but since
Braavos is located across the Narrow Sea, we didn’t feature
it in our Westeros Rich List. The Iron Bank has a fearsome
reputation when collecting debts.
