Per Metro UK:


Figures compiled for the Sunday Times Rich List illustrate just how lucrative the Harry Potter and Twilight film franchises have been for their stars.


Just as JK Rowling’s wizard adventures have beaten Stephenie Meyer’s vampire saga at the box office, Radcliffe has won the wealth battle against Pattinson.

Radcliffe, 21, is now said to be worth a staggering £48 million thanks to his appearances as Harry Potter on the big screen and his stage work.

Pattinson, 24, who appeared in the Harry Potter movies before going on to play Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, has amassed a £32 million fortune.

The figures put them in fifth and eighth positions respectively on the list of wealthiest Britons under 30.

With Keira Knightley’s £30 million securing tenth place in the table, it seems being a young actor pays better than being a young royal.


Prince William and his brother Harry only make 11th, with their inheritance from their late mother and land ownership worth £28 million.

That did at least put them ahead of Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who tied for 13th with £24 million.

The new Vanity Fair features Rob among Hollywood's Top 40 Earners of 2010. But what surprised us is how much he was paid for Bel Ami and Water for Elephants. Truly both projects of love, plus he gets to work with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz and other A-listers. Well played Rob.




Rob did jump quite a few spots in 2010. He was previously #35. Go Rob!

Media outlets of course were all over the news.

Thanks also to Spunk Ransom.

After celebrating the news that Rob and Kristen's Harper's Bazaar cover was just named cover of the year, we came across a great new article that breaks down the numbers on some of our other favorite covers with Rob.




This dreamy December 2009 cover sold 405,000 copies, which will make any circulator’s heart start racing. According to ABC statistics, the average for the Jul/Dec 2009 period was 421,833, making this cover the second worst of their rate base period…4% below average. However, it sold a lot more than the December 2008 cover…27% more copies in fact…which featured a steamy Kate Winslet. I’m guessing Vanity Fair is quite happy with their Vampire cover’s performance.



Big Sales.



The best-selling issue from the Jan/Jun 2010 rate base period, this sexy cover sold 67,000 copies…33% more than their overall average for the statement. It also sold 14% more copies than the same time slot in 2009. I’m sure the 10th Anniversary sky bar didn’t hurt the sale either.


According to ASME copy, “Details wanted to, in the words of photographer Norman Jean Roy, transform Pattinson from “teen-idol vampire boy into a more adult version of himself.” To achieve that, creative director Rockwell Harwood decided to rent a gothic mansion outside of Los Angeles, hire several female models who were willing to spend an entire day naked and dress a 23-year-old British heartthrob in high-end designer clothing.”

Not hard to see why everything he sells we want to buy.. and now a new worldwide survey confirms it:

Some 32% of the licensing professionals felt that Twilight vampire Edward Cullen, played by British actor Robert Pattinson, was the most profitable film character of 2010.

Given the success of individual comics about Rob, Kristen and Taylor.. we're not surprised Blue Water Productions is now coming out with a Twilight Edition. Word is it will be released December 7th, just around the time the Eclipse DVD comes out. You can pre-order the Twilight comic book now. We don't know if the two covers will carry the same content or it will vary, but we're sure we'll get more details as the release date get closer.
