With the sixth and final season hitting Netflix, here's a look at how much Cillian Murphy has earned in the leading role of the show, for which he was also an executive producer.
How much did Cillian Murphy earn for Peaky Blinders?
Cillian Murphy has played the highly acclaimed role of gangster Tommy Shelby throughout six seasons of Peaky Blinders.
The role launched Murphy into superstardom and, of course, significantly boosted his net worth.
Exactly how much Murphy earns for his role as Shelby is not known, as it has not been disclosed. However, as the lead he is likely to be earning more than his co-stars on the BBC crime drama series.

He also served as an executive producer on a number of episodes of the show, which boosted his income from it as well.
However, it's worth noting that the show had a relatively low budget, with each episode rumoured to cost around $1.5million (£1.3m).
This means that Murph's salary from the show may not be as high as what some other TV leads may be earning – but is this not known for sure.
In fact, Murphy is not even the richest cast member on the show where overall net worth is concerned, with Tom Hardy's net worth being around £40million.
