When you think of Hollywood’s biggest couple right now, it’s hard not to land on Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. One’s winning over sci-fi fans as Paul Atreides in Dune, and the other? She’s out here casually turning Instagram into a personal money machine. Believe it or not, the socialite reportedly made more money from just five social media posts than Chalamet did for both of his Dune movies combined.
Timothée Chalamet’s Dune Payday
Timothée Chalamet may be Hollywood’s golden boy, but his Dune paycheck isn’t quite as galactic as you might think. For Dune (2021), his first venture into the sandy sci-fi epic, the actor earned $2.2 million (per Parade). A fair amount, no doubt! But when you’re leading a blockbuster directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring alongside legends like Zendaya and Javier Bardem, it’s kind of modest.

Still, his star power only grew from there. For Dune: Part Two, released in 2024, Timothée Chalamet reportedly jumped to $3 million. Together, the total lands at just over $5 million for two career-defining roles. Not bad at all until you realize someone might be making more in their sleep.
