Kylie Jenner earns more from Instagram than boyfriend Timothée Chalamet made from both Dune films
Getty Images Kylie Jenner's Instagram earnings reportedly surpass Timothée Chalamet's combined pay for both Dune films.
Kylie Jenner gave her fans a peek into Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish wedding weekend in Venice, and may have also made more from sharing it than some A-list actors earn in major films. According to reports, the beauty mogul has earned more from just a handful of sponsored posts than actor Timothée Chalamet did for starring in both parts of the blockbuster Dune series.
This week, Kylie and her sister Kendall arrived in Venice for the celebrations and attended the welcome party on Thursday, June 26, at the historic Madonna dell'Orto church. On Friday, Kylie shared a behind-the-scenes Instagram post that captured moments from the star-studded event.

In one video, Kendall, 29, is seen kissing Kylie on the cheek and smiling during their ride. Kylie wore a sheer marigold lace dress with black sunglasses, while Kendall chose a floral halter dress with pink and green seemingly simple post, like many others on her profile, could be worth millions, literally. With over 393 million followers on Instagram, Kylie reportedly charges up to $2.3 million per sponsored post, according to statistics by 'Influencers Marketing Hub'.
That comparison becomes even more striking when looking at her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet's reported earnings from the Dune franchise. This role cemented his status as one of Hollywood's brightest young Chalamet, known for his role as Paul Atreides in Dune and Dune: Part Two, reportedly earned $2.2 million for the first film, released in 2021.
