There’s nothing more precious than someone with a reported net worth of $140 million complaining about how much someone else makes, but that’s Gwyneth Paltrow for you. Her target: Iron Man.

“Look, nobody is worth the money that Robert Downey Jr. is worth,” Paltrow told Variety. “But if I told you the disparity, you would probably be surprised.”

Hello: Downey plays the hero in a series of action flicks; Paltrow plays his girlfriend. Of course he makes way more — he’s the franchise. Tony Stark can get a new girlfriend — heck, someone else can play Pepper Potts.

Once the “Hunger Games” films took off, Jennifer Lawrence used the same “irreplaceable star” dynamic to get a huge raise. According to Forbes, she’s now Hollywood’s top-paid actress, at $52 million.

“Your salary is a way to quantify what you’re worth. If men are being paid a lot more for doing the same thing, it feels sh - - ty,” Paltrow said.

Know what else feels crummy? Whining from multimillionaires.

Once again, Gwyneth Paltrow’s grievances have nothing to do with regular folks’ problems. It’s time she stopped imagining otherwise.
