With her latest film Love Me (which co-stars Nope’s Steven Yeun) out in theaters, audiences are excited to see what the Underwater actor will bring to the table this go around. Stewart recently told Vogue that the sci-fi love story is “the most existential thing I’ve ever done,” so it seems like we’re in for a treat.
Perhaps one reason Stewart can take big swings in interesting projects, however, is due to the massive pay day she received from Twilight. So how much money did she earn for that blockbuster franchise and what is her net worth in 2025? Read on to find out.
How did Kristen Stewart become famous?
Born in Los Angeles to a TV producer father and script-supervising mother, Stewart was seemingly destined for a life in the entertainment industry. From a young age, she showed an interest in acting and even appeared in an uncredited role on the popular Disney Channel Original Movie The Thirteenth Year which her mother worked on. Things took off for Kristen when she was cast in the Jodi Foster thriller Panic Room which opened up opportunities for her in more kid-friendly movies like Catch That Kid and Zathura: A Space Adventure. After snagging roles in a string of indie movies, Stewart was cast in a project that shot her into the fame stratosphere and cemented her as a household name — Twilight.
To this day, the Twilight Saga remains one of Stewart’s most notable projects. She took on the lead role of Bella Swan in the adaptation of the best-selling vampire book series of the same name. Starring alongside Robert Pattison and Taylor Lautner, Stewart garnered a feverish fan base and kicked off the trend in young adult fiction being adapted for the screen. Cranking out five movies over the span of four years was an exhausting process, as Stewart revealed on the Smartless podcast, telling the hosts, “I just crashed and burned and barreled my way through those years and just was really … lacked any balance. I was just working constantly.”
The films earned Stewart a slew of MTV Movie awards in addition to some pretty hefty paychecks. While the actor reportedly earned $2 million for starring in the first installment of the series, by the end of her run she was raking in an impressive $25 million per movie for Breaking Dawn parts one and two. Additionally, it’s reported she received 7.5% of gross sales from the movies, and with an astounding combined total of $1.2 billion at the box office, it’s likely Kristen earned around $115 million on the backend — a true vampire’s fortune!
Snow White and the Huntsman?
While she may not have returned for the sequel, Kristen did make a reported $9.5 million for her role in the first film, and the last laugh of course was her’s, as The Huntsman: Winter’s War lost $75 million for Universal Pictures. Don’t mess with KStew.
While her compensation for the film has not been made public, it’s likely she only earned a few million for the role given the film's smaller budget.
Charlie’s Angels (2019)?
When a reboot of the reboot of Charlie’s Angels was announced (yes, that’s a double rebooting), fans were ecstatic to see that Kristen Stewart was going to be playing the head angel in charge with the direction of comedy knockout Elizabeth Banks. Unfortunately, the movie was not well received by critics or even fans (though some people, like the author of this article, did see it multiple times in theaters. Sorry, haters!).
Whether she loved it or not, according to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, our girl took home between $5-$7 million for her role in the film, and there’s nothing to hate about that.
Though the 2002 movie had a substantial budget of $48 million, it’s unlikely that Stewart made too much on her first go in the Hollywood big leagues.
The Runaways?
Kristen’s earnings for the film have not been made public, but considering the movie had a $10 million budget and made only $4.6 million at the box office, it’s unlikely she took home very much.
