Hello, we need to discuss Timothée Chalamet, because he’s morphed from your boyfriend/son Timmy into Tim-Oh-Tay, a blockbuster superstar who is getting richer by the second. Timothée literally went from small-budget prestige films like Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, and Little Women to working with Netflix on The King and starring in the Dune series—the latter of which had a *massive* budget of $165 million for the first installment. In other words, Timmy has obviously realized he has MAIN CHARACTER energy and is cashing the f*ck in. So, how has his new foray into the world of blockbuster movies affected his net worth? Time for a breakdown. But first, here’s a gif of me discovering what’s lurking in Timothée’s bank account:
Timothée Chalamet’s Total Net Worth Is $25 Million
At least according to Celebrity Net Worth! And the majority of Timmy’s money seems to come from acting, with leading roles in aforementioned films like Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, and Little Women, as well as Beautiful Boy, The King, The French Dispatch, Going Electric (the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic), and Dune (oh, and Dune: Part Two, obvi). Timmy’s specific salary for these films hasn’t been released, but some unverified reports online claim that he made a whopping $2.2 million for Dune—which is definitely a lot, and could even increase depending on what Timmy negotiated in terms of box office profits and residuals.
As Timothée put it on Twitter, LET THE SPICE FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW.
His Net Worth Majorly Increased in the Span of Two Years
Back in October 2020, Timmy was worth a reported $6 million, and by 2023, he had $25 million to his name and bank account—which means he’s made about $19 million in the space of a little over two years! Gonna go ahead and assume a lot of this is that sweet, sweet Dune money, not to mention his work on The King with Netflix.
As a reminder, we also know that Timothée donated his earnings from Woody Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York to three different charities amid long-standing abuse allegations from Woody’s daughter Dylan Farrow. In a statement, Timothée said, “I have been asked in a few recent interviews about my decision to work on a film with Woody Allen last summer. I’m not able to answer the question directly because of contractual obligations. But what I can say is this: I don’t want to profit from my work on the film, and to that end, I am going to donate my entire salary to three charities: Time’s Up, the LGBT Centre in New York, and Rainn [the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network].” Okay, ILY Timmy 🥺❤️.
Brands Love Him (Same)
Like, Timothée reportedly earned a whopping $35 million to be the face of Bleu de Chanel, which wow.
Oh, and he was also named a “Friend of the House” for Cartier in the fall of 2021.
Timothée Is Expected to Be Worth Millions More in the Next 10 Years
Thanks to his undeniable leading man energy and the fact that his latest films (including his 2023 Willy Wonka origin story musical) will almost certainly earn him another Oscar nomination (if not an Oscar win), Timothée is on a clear trajectory to permanent A-list status. And speaking of Wonka, did I mention that Timmy reportedly earned $9 million upfront for the movie? Proud.
Anyway! Back in March 2020, Cheat Sheet anticipated that Timothée’s net worth could grow to $60 million by the end of the 2020s, and considering that it has already jumped from $6 million to $25 million in just a few years, that prediction sounds about right.
This pure soul obviously deserves every penny that he makes for blessing the world with his jawline/floppy hair/talent, so personally I’m quite psyched to see his net worth continue to blow up. We’ll be updating this article as it does, so stay tuned.
