When it comes to raking in the big bucks, Robert Pattinson’s net worth in 2024 is as stratospheric as his famously tousled hair ever could be. The British heartthrob made his mark in theHarry Potterfilm series and then took over the world by playing Edward Cullen inThe Twilight Saga.
His foray into offbeat roles—a term he humorously embraces—has paid off handsomely, leading to his engagements in landmark films like Christopher Nolan’s mind-bendingTenetand donning the cape as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’The Batman. From dating tabloid darling Kristen Stewart—a relationship that spectacularly fizzled out—to tackling one spine-tingling role after another, Pattinson has climbed the ladder of success.
Despite this, the actor had a moment of honest reflection during an interview with Access Hollywood. When asked about hisTwilightdays, his four-word comment about his hefty paycheck seemed to jar with his impressive $100 million net worth.
How Much Did Robert Pattinson Earn fromThe Twilight Saga?
So, let’s take a bite out of the numbers. Robert Pattinson, who brought the brooding vampireEdward Cullen to life, starred in fiveTwilightfilms—Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn: Part 1,andBreaking Dawn: Part 2—between 2008 and 2012.

By the time the final film wrapped up, the franchise had banked a cool $3.3 billion worldwide (viaBox Office Mojo). And when it comes to Pattinson’s earnings, the figures are enough to make anyone’s head spin. For his role in the firstTwilightflick, he scored $2 million in 2008, which was just the tip of the iceberg (according toCheat Sheet).
By the time the last films came around, his paycheck was through the roof. According toVulture, Pattinson and his co-stars, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, each pocketed $25 million for their roles in the last twoTwilightmovies. But wait, there’s more! Thanks to backend bonuses, their take-home pay shot up to about $41 million apiece.
In addition to hisTwilightriches, Pattinson has been busy in other arenas. He’s modeled for high-profile brands like Dior and has lent his vocal talents to several movie soundtracks (seeNME).
In 2011, Pattinson was rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s elite, landing at 15th place onVanity Fair’s ‘Hollywood Top 40’ with earnings of $27.5 million that year.GQalso dubbed him the ‘Best Dressed Man’ of 2012.
The Rise of Robert Pattinson: What’s His Current Net Worth?
Well, it’s no surprise thatRobert Pattinson, now a major player in the blockbuster realm, tops the net worth charts among his formerTwilightco-stars, with a current hefty $100 million (Celebrity Net Worth).
While his fortune is largely built on his vampire fangs and jaw-dropping looks fromThe Twilight Saga,he’s also cashed in on a plush $12 million endorsement deal with Dior men’s fragrances, as reported byE! News.
Among theTwilightalumni, Pattinson reigns supreme as the wealthiest. He’s followed byKristen Stewart, who’s worth an estimated$70 million, and Taylor Lautner, with around$40 million. Back when the firstTwilightfilm hit theaters, Pattinson and Stewart were neck and neck in the earnings race.

Moreover, Pattinson isn’t just about making a pretty penny. He’s also got a heart of gold. In 2019, he teamed up with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to donate $500,000 to Help Refugees, an international aid organization (viaVariety). Plus, he became an ambassador for theGO Campaignin 2015, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable children around the globe.
How Robert Pattinson Really Feels About HisTwilightEarnings
It’s a good thing Robert Pattinson made a mint from theTwilightfranchise, because otherwise, his motivation to endure thefive-film sagamight have been a bit thin. The actor often poked fun at the franchise in the media, clearly not a fan of the whole vampire phenomenon. In 2011, he toldVanity Fair:
There’s nothing you’re able to do about it. That’s the way it is. But it is weird being part of that, kind of representing something you don’t particularly like.
But while Pattinson might have had a few grumbles about his role, his bank account was certainly singing a different tune. When quizzed about his hefty paycheck from theTwilightfilms during a no-holds-barred interview withAccess Hollywood, he bluntly gave a four-word response:
Could have been better.
Ergo, while he might have been less than mesmerized byThe Twilight Sagaitself, there’s no denying that the films turned out to be the golden goose for him.
