Robert Pattinson Net Worth $60 Million
Right when his modelling career ended he started to get involved at the ‘Barnes Theater Company’ where acted in such plays as ‘Anything Goes’ as well as in the legendary ‘Macbeth’. He became fascinated with the amateur theatre. Who would have known that his teen hobby as an amateur actor would later result in his estimated net worth of $60 million? His earliest film roles included small parts in such movies as “Vanity Fair” and also in “Ring Of The Nibelungs”, that was based on an ancient legend. Only a few years prior to his breakthrough as an actor Robert Pattinson had a misfortune of almost all of his scenes cut out. He even got laid off of a part in “The Woman Before”. Shortly after that he played the role of Cedric Diggory that launched his career a bit more. The film “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” (author: J.K. Rowling) made Robert popular for his model looks.
Later Robert’s career really began with a film called “Twilight”. It is a book saga about centuries-old vampires who live amongst other people. These books by the famous author Stephenie Meyer were later adapted into a movie saga. In the saga Robert played the part of the beautiful and wise vampire Edward Cullen. The movies and books about vampires were so successful that they made Robert and his co-stars millionaires, as well as the author of the books. Summit Entertainment, that decided to direct and produce these movies made Robert a star. After starring in the saga movies Robert Pattinson was one of the most wanted film actors of his generation. He was cast as a lead in “The Summer House” as well as in “Little Ashes” that was based on a life on Salvador Dali, also ‘Remember Me’ ‘Water for Elephants’ , ‘The Haunted Airman’, ‘How to Be’, ‘Maps to the Stars’, as well as his newest film ‘Rover’ which is yet to be released. This really added to the enormous wealth that Robert has.
He also collaborated on the “Twilight” soundtrack as one of the singers and songwriters. It is said that Robert made about $25 million for each of the “Twilight” saga movies. And even more, Robert was paid over $40 million to star in the two final movies of the saga – ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ and ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′. It is also said that Robert’s co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner also made about $25 million dollars each for every movie from the saga. How amazing is that?
