Timothée Chalamet's Net Worth In 2023 Is Truly Scrumdiddlyumptious
Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet's net worth in 2023 comes from more than a decade of acting work—and, let's be real, a lot of fans who can't get enough of him.
Chalamet stars as the title character in Wonka, his first onscreen musical and his biggest upfront payday to date. As far as his career goes, he's selective with his roles, in part thanks to advice he got from one of his role models when he was first starting out. He explained to TIME, "One of my heroes—I can't say who or he'd kick my ass—he put his arm around me the first night we met and gave me some advice: No hard drugs and no superhero movies."
While we can't speak about the hard drugs (not our business nor or place!), so far he hasn't been in a superhero movie—and his performances for everything he has been in have been acclaimed, even when the films themselves weren't necessarily well-received.

He got his start in commercials, short films and on stage as a child growing up in New York City and made his TV debut in a 2009 episode of Law & Order when he was 13, followed by recurring roles on Royal Pains and Homeland in subsequent years. In 2014, he played Matthew McConaughey's son in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.
Over the next several years, Chalamet starred in indie movies and the holiday film Love the Coopers, followed by an award-winning turn in the play Prodigal Son. His breakout came in 2017 when he starred alongside Armie Hammer in the coming-of-age drama Call Me By Your Name.
