Kristen Stewart Beats Robert Pattinson as Hollywood's Biggest Bang for the Buck Star

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are Hollywood's number one, undisputed "biggest bang for the buck power duo." Together the Twilight Saga love birds can't be defeated--not even by the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In fact, the Breaking Dawn dynamic duo could probably only be dethroned by the likes of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez--if the famous teen pair known as Jelena ever decide to co-star in a movie.
Yes, according to Forbes Magazine, for every $2 the studios invest in films starring R-Pattz and his lady-love, said studios make a combined profit of $95.40. Not bad. But what happens when the 2 romantically involved stars are rated separately. Oops. Kristen Stewart beats out Robert Pattinson, and she beats him rather badly. For every $1 K-Stew is paid in salary, she earns the studio a whopping $55.83 return on the investment. R-Pattz not so much. In fact, the Twilight heart-throb limps along behind his girlfriend, earning the studios a measly $39.43 return on every $1 they pay him.
However, Rob shouldn't feel bad. Kristen Stewart is Tinsel town's undisputed bang for the buck champ. She placed number one on Forbes' list, beating out such stars as Anne Hathaway ($45.67 return on investment), Daniel Radcliffe ($34.24) and loud-mouthed lout, Shia Labeouf ($29.40). Poor Rob came in third. Twihards who know about these things will wonder how that's possible since R-Pattz and K-Stew earn exactly the same salary per film. Not to mention the fact that they also star in the same films.
According to Forbes, the disparity occurred because Robert Pattinson " has had more extensive film credits" than his girlfriend. Kristen Stewart's "bang for the buck" evaluation was based solely on her 3 Twilight movies, but the magazine evaluated Robert Pattinson on the Twilight Saga plus Water for Elephants and Remember Me. Apparently, averaging it all out lowered his overall score.
So there you have it.

Kristen tops Forbes Best Actors for the Buck list

Kristen Stewart is at the top of Forbes magazine's list of Hollywood's Best Actors for the Buck, reports Contactmusic.com. The magazine noted that for every $1 Stewart is paid, her films earn an average of $55.83. Kristen's co-star in Twilight, Robert Patinson, comes in at No.3 on the list. And, for every buck he's paid, his films average $39.43, the report said.

The magazine noted that inspite of Robert and Stewart receiving about the same paychecks, Robert's average was pulled down by two non-Twilight movies that he made in the past two years, Remember Me and Water for Elephants, each of which had mediocre ticket sales, the website reported.

The report also said that in between the two was Anne Hathaway whose films averaged $45.67 for every $1 she was paid. While Anne appeared in Bridewars, which earned an unimpressive $115 million worldwide, her Alice in Wonderland had earned more than $1 billion worldwide. No.4 on the list was Daniel Radcliffe, thanks to the Harry Potter movies. Though he earned a massive paycheck- far more than the top three on the list, but the films earned so many billions "that his paycheck is relatively insignificant", the report said.
