The Golden Globe-nominated English actor, Dominic West is well known for starring in the American drama series, The Affair. Out of his role, he has made a pretty splendid fortune. As of 2017, the actor's net worth has reached over $6 million.

Dominic co-stars with Ruth Wilson in the drama series and recently in February, West claimed that Wilson's salary should be more than what she was getting.

Wilson, who plays the British star's extramarital girlfriend in the series, won a Golden Globe for her performance in 2015. And West also affirmed that the English actress should be paid more being a Golden Globe achiever. He told UK Channel 4 news,

There was absolutely no reason for her to get paid less than me, and that’s part of what is being hopefully confronted now. You can’t get away with it anymore, and there’s no reason why a producer should get away with that.

In that instance, Wilson also shared her opinion to Radio Times telling that she was expecting to get a rise in her salary after the renewal of the series to the fourth season and notified that she deserves a parity in income after her major achievement in 2015.

The house was in the market for $6.5 million and the reason the couple decided to sell was the Castle's high maintenance. However, later, there were no updates on the sale of the property.
