The earnings from five of Kylie Jenner’s Instagram posts probably exceeded Timothée Chalamet’s income from starring in both ‘Dune’ movies.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, two of the entertainment industry’s most influential young stars, have become a power couple both on and off-screen. Chalamet, known for his roles in Dune and Wonka, has an estimated net worth of $25 million, bolstered by his acting career and high-profile brand endorsements. Jenner, a business mogul and social media icon, has amassed a fortune much bigger than that. To emphasize how much more money Jenner brings in than Chalamet, we’re looking at Chalamet’s Dune paycheck compared to Jenner’s pay for a single sponsored Instagram post. Here’s the stark difference.

Kylie Jenner’s Instagram presence stands as a testament to her prowess in blending personal branding with entrepreneurial success. With over 393 million followers, she ranks among the most followed individuals on the platform, a position she has maintained through a curated mix of content that resonates with a global audience. Her posts seamlessly integrate lifestyle, beauty, and family moments, offering followers an intimate glimpse into her life.

Beyond personal snapshots, Jenner leverages Instagram to promote her ventures, such as Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Skin, and her fashion line, Khy. Collaborations with luxury brands like Dior, Chanel, and Gucci further solidify her status as a fashion influencer. Despite her massive following, Jenner’s engagement rate remains impressive, with her posts often sparking widespread trends and discussions.

According to several sources, Jenner is likely making anywhere from $600,000 to $2 million per sponsored Instagram post. In 2018, CNBC reported that the reality star made around $1 million per post. The following year, Allure reported that Jenner made $1.2 million per post. And, of course, Jenner also makes money when she pushes products on Snapchat, X, TikTok, or any other social media platform.

How much did Timothée Chalamet earn from ‘Dune’?

Timothée Chalamet is now known for his romance with Kylie Jenner. However, before his personal life was on full display, he portrayed Paul Atreides in Dune (2021), which marked a significant milestone in his career. In the film, Paul is a young nobleman thrust into a complex political and ecological struggle on the desert planet Arrakis. Chalamet’s performance was lauded for its depth and nuance, capturing Paul’s internal conflict and growth amidst the grandeur of the sci-fi epic.

For his role in the first installment of the franchise, Chalamet was reportedly paid $2.2 million. As the series progressed and his star power increased, his compensation reflected that growth. For Dune: Part Two (2024), Chalamet’s salary was estimated at $3 million, underscoring his rising prominence in the industry.

In total so far, Chalamet earned over $5 million for his role as Paul Atreides. For his famous girlfriend, she could potentially make that with just five sponsored Instagram posts.

Fans think Kylie Jenner benefits from Timothée Chalamet’s image more than his money

Kylie Jenner certainly has her own money. With a net worth of around $1 billion, she doesn’t need Timothée Chalamet’s millions for financial support. However, fans think she benefits from his A-list status, as she’s often put down for being a reality TV star.

“He does have a much cleaner, career serious image that she benefits from, though,” a fan on Reddit wrote.

“The relationship is beneficial for both of them,” another fan noted.

“[I] absolutely, 10000% think this is a real relationship, but it has had the benefit of rehabbing her image in a crazy way!” another fan commented, adding that Jenner seems incredibly happy with Chalamet, no matter the mutual benefits.
