The initial 3 films garnered her fame enough to become Hollywood’s new favourite. We’re talking about Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon & The Twilight Saga: Eclipse here. But what boosted her bank balance was Breaking Dawn: Part 1 & 2.
If reports are to be believed, Kristen Stewart earned massive $12.5 million from each instalment of Breakdown. This comes to around 94.25 crores, and with 2 films with the same amount – a massive 188.5 crores. We haven’t seen that kind of money in our entire life, and the Twilight actress owned it.
The whopping sum was inclusive of the royalties. Kristen Stewart had a net worth of $34.5 million in 2012. Out of this, $25 million directly came from Twilight. Now you know what we mean?
