Queen Cersei is not nearly as rich as a Lannister.

In fact, the "Game of Thrones" actress Lena Headey said she's barely scraping by, with just a few dollars to her name.

The star detailed her financial woes in legal documents in response to a demand from her estranged husband, Peter Loughran, who is seeking half of their $46,000 tax refund from 2011.

Headey filed for divorce last year, so the tax refund is technically community property.

She said she needs $6,000 to take care of the couple's 2-year-old son until she receives her paycheck from HBO. She also said she would be willing to give her ex $6,000 for living expenses, and put the rest in an account where neither could touch it until a settlement was finalized.

The judge denied Loughran's emergency motion for the money, and Headey's request with it.

Here's to hoping Headey can tap into some of that famous Lannister gold in the meantime.
