The Twilight movies, based on author Stephenie Meyer‘s novels, helped lay the groundwork for a new generation of teen fantasy blockbusters and helped spur a vampire revival that we’re still loving in 2023.
They also featured a star-studded cast that have gone on to amass very impressive net worths over the course of their careers.
Of course, some of the most recognizable stars from the franchise are the three main leads – Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. However, the rest of the Cullen family and several other stars from the franchise have also enjoyed successful careers in Hollywood.
We decided to check out what sort of fortunes the stars have amassed. You might be surprised by where some of the actors fall on the list.
Check out the richest stars from the Twilight franchise ranked from highest to lowest…
Robert Pattinson had already established himself as an emerging talent in the young adult sphere with his portrayal of Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter franchise, but landing the role of Edward Cullen in Twilight cemented him as a mega-star.
He played the lead, sparkling vampire in the blockbuster adaptations of author Stephenie Meyer‘s beloved novels. However, we have since learned that he faced some stiff competition to book his starring role alongside Kristen Stewart.
Thousands of actors auditioned for the role, but a much smaller list of frontrunners and A-listers who were considered has been revealed. The list includes a Schitt’s Creek star, several actors who booked other roles in Twilight and someone who admitted that they later regretted their audition.
It also includes Stephenie‘s first choice for Edward, who only learned that he was in the running years after the fact!
Who all was up for the star-making role? We pulled together a handy list and everything the actors have said about their auditions.

Kristen Stewart already had a multitude of acting credits to her name by the time she was cast to play Bella Swan in Twilight, but the franchise elevated her fame to a whole new level.
However, like any other role in Hollywood, she wasn’t the only star who auditioned for the part.
In fact, four Hollywood A-listers have spoken out and revealed that they also put their name in the running to portray the role. One of those actresses was even famously author Stephenie Meyer‘s first choice.
Expect Twilight casting rumors to kick back into motion again after it was announced that a TV retelling of the books was in the works earlier this year. In honor of that, we looked back on who else might have played Bella in the iconic blockbusters.
