KRISTEN STEWART – EST. $80 MILLION

She may not always have the best things to say about her time in the Twilight franchise, but the film gets credit for building the actress’ popularity. Her biggest payday may be when she made $25 million for the both parts of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”. Kristen has capitalized on that, starring in both major productions and indie film projects after the saga’s finale. From being criticized for having “zero range,” the actress has since proven her acting chops through the success of her varied performances.

Growing up in the entertainment industry has undoubtedly promoted Stewart’s acting career. She has started her professional career since the age of eight. Outside of acting, Kristen has also done multiple directorial works for music videos and short films. This includes the upcoming, The Chronology of Water, a feature film based on the memoir of Lidia Yuknavitch.
