She made a lot of money from Twilight too.
It feels like Kristen Stewart has been a part of our lives since forever. During her Twilight years, we all envied her as the lucky girl who got to choose between being with a handsome vampire or a hot werewolf and now we’re all rushing to the movies to see her star in the new reboot of Charlie’s Angels. Kristen started acting when she was just 8, so her career now spans more than just 20 years and fittingly, she’s made a lot of money along the way. In fact, she was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2010 and 2012. Here’s everything you need to know about Kristen Stewart’s net worth and how she makes her money.
Kristen began acting after she was discovered while performing in her elementary’s school Christmas play. Her first ever role was a non-speaking part in the Disney channel movie, The Thirteenth Year. But she really began to gain recognition after she played the part of a tomboy, diabetic daughter in the 2002 film Panic Room. Kristen’s performance actually got her a nomination for a Young Artist Award.
After appearing in Panic Room, Kristen held parts in a ton of other movies, including Catch That Kid, In the Land of Women and The Messengers, but it was The Twilight Saga that propelled her to international fame. Kristen played the role of Bella Swan, a girl who becomes enamored with a mysterious vampire named Edward Cullen. Kristen reportedly made $25 million for the final movie and also struck a deal that earned her a percentage of the movie’s box office profits, meaning she actually made way more, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
After The Twilight Saga, Kristen would star in another feature film called Snow White and the Huntsman before shifting her attention to independent films. Independent movies that Kristen has worked on include Lizzie, Still Alice, Clouds of Sil Maria and Camp X-Ray.
2019 marked her return to feature films with her part as Sabina Wilson in the Charlie’s Angels reboot and Kristen’s already working on new projects, including Under Water and Happiest Season, a LGBT holiday romance film.
Kristen will also make money from her feature film directorial debut. She’s planning to write a film adaptation of a novel called The Chronology of Water.
Another venture Kristen can count checks from is her endorsement deals. Since 2013, she’s served as a brand ambassador for Chanel. In 2014, she was also chosen as the face for Balenciaga’s fragrance, Rosabotanica.
All in all Kristen’s pretty rich.
