Danish actor, screenwriter, and producer Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has an estimated net worth of £4 million. He is mostly known for his role in HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones.

Born on July 27, 1990, in Rudkøbing, Denmark, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau graduated from Danish National School of Theatre in Copenhagen in 1993.

Coster-Waldau had his stage debut with Hamlet where he played the role of Laertes. His breakthrough performance in Denmark was his role in the film Nightwatch (1994). Thereafter, he landed a role in Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down.
After gaining popularity, Coster-Waldau has appeared in numerous films in his native Scandinavia and Europe in general, including Headhunters (2011) and A Thousand Times Good Night (2013).
