Jealous of Kylie Jenner's Wealth, Timothée Chalamet’s Sister Throws Shade at His Girlfriend

Pauline Chalamet, the older sister of Hollywood heartthrob Timothée Chalamet, has once again taken a thinly veiled jab at his billionaire girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. The 33-year-old actress, best known for her role in The Sex Lives of College Girls, recently took to Instagram to voice her concerns over America’s staggering wealth disparity—an issue that has frequently been associated with the Kardashian-Jenner family's massive fortune.

Pauline's latest remarks come after she previously shaded Jenner, 27, over her excessive use of private jets. This time, her commentary focused on a broader socio-political issue, but the underlying message was clear. Sharing a New York Times article by Nicholas Kristof, Pauline expressed frustration over the way wealth is distributed in the U.S. and the minimal amount of funds allocated to humanitarian aid.

"New York Times, liberal bias, yes yes yes I get it," she wrote on her Instagram stories, acknowledging potential criticisms of the article’s political stance. "But this one by @nickkristof is worth the read. It’s about empathy and humanity."

Pauline went on to highlight major social and economic issues plaguing the United States, calling out the nation’s "embarrassing" maternal mortality rate and the consumer culture of excessive spending on out-of-season foods, air conditioning, and heating. However, her most pointed remark came when she addressed wealth inequality, stating:

"Our INSANE wealth disparity is sick, the list literally goes ON and ON."

While she did not mention Kylie Jenner directly, it was hard to ignore the context of her words. With an estimated net worth of $700 million, Kylie remains one of the wealthiest young entrepreneurs in the world.

Her wealth, initially bolstered by Kylie Cosmetics, sparked controversy in 2019 when Forbes declared her the world’s youngest self-made billionaire—only to later revise that claim, revealing that the numbers had been exaggerated.

Pauline’s statement continued, drawing attention to how the U.S. allocates its financial resources:

"BUT just take a second and think about the fact that LESS THAN 1% of all of our money goes to humanitarian aid. That money is insignificant in fixing any of the larger problems that plague the United States. And yet so significant to the lives of millions of individuals across this shared home we call Earth."

This isn’t the first time someone has called out the extreme wealth of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Kylie’s older sister, Kim Kardashian, currently holds the title of the richest family member with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion. Their mother, Kris Jenner, also enjoys a comfortable fortune of around $200 million.

The family’s lavish lifestyle—complete with luxury mansions, high-end fashion, and frequent use of private jets—has often been a target of criticism in discussions about income inequality and sustainability.

Though Timothée Chalamet has remained silent about his sister’s remarks, the contrast between his public persona and Jenner’s extravagant lifestyle has not gone unnoticed by fans. The Dune actor, known for his understated and artistic approach to Hollywood, has rarely been associated with the type of extreme wealth and consumerism that the Kardashian-Jenners embody.

While Pauline’s comments focused on systemic issues rather than a direct attack on her brother’s girlfriend, the underlying tension is palpable. Her previous criticism of private jet usage already hinted at a disapproval of Kylie’s lifestyle.

The beauty mogul was previously slammed for taking flights as short as 12 minutes, drawing outrage over the environmental impact of her travel habits.

This latest post only adds to the speculation that Pauline is not entirely on board with Timothée's relationship with Kylie. As her brother continues to be linked to one of the most famous—and wealthiest—women in the world, Pauline's stance on wealth inequality raises questions about how she truly feels about his romance.

Whether Kylie will respond to the subtle shade remains to be seen. However, given the Kardashian-Jenner family’s history of addressing online criticism, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone from their camp subtly clapped back.

For now, Pauline Chalamet is making it clear where she stands: wealth disparity is a problem, and she has no qualms about calling it out—even if it indirectly highlights the financial excesses of her brother’s billionaire girlfriend.
