Jason Momoa has emerged as one of the biggest movie stars of the 21st century, and he has a net worth to match. Momoa's career began with a bigger role than most would expect as a debut, getting his start in 1999 as Jason Ioane in Baywatch: Hawaii. Despite his early success, Jason Momoa's movies in the early 2000s were mostly forgotten about. When he appeared in Game of Thrones as Khal Drogo, he seemed like a new arrival on the scene, not someone who had starred in Stargate Atlantis and the Conan remake.
Game of Thrones was just what the actor needed to ascend to major stardom. After that role, he has gone on to become one of Hollywood's biggest action stars, and Jason Momoa has a long list of badass characters, from Aquaman in the DCEU to Dante Reyes in Fast X. Momoa began dating Lisa Bonnet around 2005 and the couple have two children together: Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. Momoa and Bonnet were married in October 2017 but later divorced in 2024 after separating in January 2022.
