Kylie Jenner is the youngest of the Kardashian sisters and is never far from the headlines. She has a cult-like following and is very influential with her massive fan base. The 27-year-old posted an Instagram story on Thursday to her 394 million followers showing her playing poker at an unknown casino:
Like Mark Zuckerberg, Jenner can easily afford high-stakes play with her $900m net worth but is seen playing with less than $100 in chips. She tagged her friend Victoria Helena Villarroel in the social media story, who reposted the image with the tagline “I almost had you!! smh.”

It looks like Jenner and her friend have the poker bug as they both took part in a Cartier-hosted poker night recently in Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont. This was a celebration of Jenner’s boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet’s nomination in the Best Actor award category at the Oscars for his role as Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown.’
Regarding Jenner’s performance when she beat her boyfriend head-to-head, GQ Editor Frazier Tharpe said she was “sneakily, one of the most formidable players at the table, raising big bets with the confidence of a high roller.”
Chalamet also has a reputation as a decent player. In January, Ellie Fanning revealed that her ‘A Complete Unknown’ co-star is “pretty good at poker.”
