Marty Supreme Cast Net Worths Ranked: The Star Worth More Than Timothée Chalamet

Only in a 2025 A24 drama do you get Timothee Chalamet playing a scrappy lead while the richest guy on set is... Kevin O'Leary. Yes, Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank wandered into an artsy sports movie and somehow became both the wealthiest cast member and the one catching heat online. Let me walk you through who is playing who, how eye-popping the money gap is, and why O'Leary just kicked a hornet's nest over AI.

The movie

'Marty Supreme' is an A24 sports drama with Chalamet in the title role, Marty Mauser. Gwyneth Paltrow is Kay Stone, Marty's love interest. That would be straightforward, except Kevin O'Leary is playing Milton Rockwell, who happens to be Kay's husband. So, yes, that dynamic is going to be messy by design.

The cast, the roles, the money

Per Celebrity Net Worth, the wealth breakdown here is kind of hilarious for a movie led by one of the biggest young stars in Hollywood. Quick snapshot, plus where you might know everyone from:

• Timothee Chalamet — Marty Mauser — $25 million. The headliner. Fresh off those massive Dune movies.
• Gwyneth Paltrow — Kay Stone — $200 million. Oscar winner, Marvel alum, wellness mogul.
• Kevin O'Leary — Milton Rockwell — $400 million. Yep, the Shark Tank one. Also the most loaded person on this call sheet by a mile.
• Odessa A'zion — Rachel — net worth not available. You might know her from Grand Army and the Hellraiser reboot.
• Tyler Okonma (Tyler, the Creator) — Wally — $30 million. Rapper, producer, designer, Grammy winner, making his acting debut here.
• Abel Ferrara — Ezra — $10 million. Indie legend and director stepping in front of the camera.
• Fran Drescher — Mrs. Mauser — $25 million. The Nanny herself, playing Marty's mom.

The AI extras thing that blew up

O'Leary is not just the richest name in the room; he is currently the most controversial one. On The Hill's World of Travel podcast, he said the film could have saved millions by swapping background actors with AI-generated stand-ins. He pointed to an AI creation named Tilly Norwood as proof you can fake a human convincingly enough for the background. His point, as he framed it, was that cutting crowd costs frees up money for the art. The internet did not find that charming.

'Almost every scene had as many as 150 extras. Now, those people have to stay awake for 18 hours, be completely dressed in the background; it costs millions of dollars to do that. Why couldn't you simply put AI agents in their place?'

That sentiment landed like a brick, especially given how touchy the industry is about AI replacing working performers. Again, we're talking background talent here, but the slippery-slope alarms went off instantly.

Release date

'Marty Supreme' hits U.S. theaters on December 25, 2025.

Curious where you land on this: should movies use AI for crowds to save money, or is that a line we should not cross when actual people can do those jobs?
