Made famous by his role as Joffrey Baratheon in the award-winning TV series Game of Thrones, Jack Gleeson is reported to have a net worth of over £5.5 million.

Irish actor Jack Gleeson was born on May 20, 1992 in Cork. He began taking drama classes from a young age.

Gleeson’s tryst with acting began when he was seven years old with the Independent Theatre Workshop. Making minor appearances in movies such as Reign of Fire (2002), Moving Day (2002), Fishtale (2003), Tom Waits Made Me Cry (2004), Batman Begins (2005), Shrooms (2007) and A Shine of Rainbows (2009), he then starred in All Good Children (2010)—a performance which prompted Variety magazine to label Gleeson “the pic’s big discovery”.

He also acted in four episodes of the Irish comedy series Killinaskully (2006-2008).
