Heat magazine's list is compiled by a panel of experts that analyzes celebrities' earnings for the past year based on their TV and film deals, music sales and product endorsements.
Eight-Figure Endorsements: Who's Getting Them in Hollywood
Predictably, A-listers are the most-prized targets on Madison Avenue. Although every deal is unique, one top commercial agent says he's seeing more eight-figure paydays than ever before. Long-term relationships have become a key way to optimize revenue, says another endorsement agent who, when it comes to beauty deals for his top female talent, only fields multiyear offers.
Charlize Theron struck gold with her gilded J'Adore ads, spinning her initial three-year deal with Dior (reportedly worth $5 million annually when she signed in 2004) into an iconic partnership nearly a decade later. The fashion house might hope its new arrangement with Robert Pattinson works just as well, as it is paying him at least $12 million to represent its Dior Homme fragrance for the next three years. With bigger revenue comes greater and more high-profile risks. Celebrities reduce missteps by scrutinizing a brand's roster of spokespeople almost as closely as potential co-stars. Jennifer Lawrence finally said yes to her first luxury endorsement when she saw she was in good company succeeding Oscar winner Natalie Portman as the face of Miss Dior.Rob's partnership with Dior was also the main basis for his inclusion in THR's other report about A-listers salaries. Excerpt from THR:
The New A-List: 23 Salaries From Angelina Jolie to Robert Downey Jr. Revealed
Who commands $20 million per movie? How much is Robert Pattinson getting paid to shill for Dior? And Downey is making HOW MUCH for "Iron Man 3"?! THR breaks down the earnings of Hollywood's biggest stars.

“Delillo’s words are like the bible”All 3 of these interviews are translated...you guys know the drill :)
With his new film, Cosmpolis, Robert Pattinson ventures to the abysses of the financial world. Cicero online talked to the ex-vampire about the lethargy of his generation, split personalities and pastry assassinations.
Mr. Pattinson, Eric Packer is leaving his aura, his limo, once and immediately he is attacked with a cake. Was there a similar moment in your career?
Strangely, I have shot a similar scene for "Water for Elephants". But otherwise, no, not that I know of. Maybe in a metaphorical sense ...
No aggressive paparazzi and overzealous fans?
No, no one dared to do that so far. Thank God, otherwise that would have had consequences.
How would you describe your character in the movie?
Eric Packer is a man who looks at the whole world very abstract, himself, his body, his fellow men. He shows egomaniacal characteristics and lives in his inner self, in a world in which actual reality doesn’t exist. Throughout the film, he finally tries to regain control of his body, of himself, until he gives up completely at the end.
What will remain to you of Eric Packer?
It's weird. I had to remember so much text and I thought these lines would disappear from my brain as soon as each scene is filmed. But the words are still there, I can still memorize the entire script. It sounds stupid, but there are times a day in which I quote passages from DeLillo, flawless. David (Cronenberg) always says: "It's like the Bible! There is a quote for every occasion! Somehow DeLillo's words are still stuck with me. Their meaning becomes more and more aware to me. Especially in the scene with Samantha Morton, as we talk about the future, there are passages that haunt me literally. (Tink: If he really said this, I totally relate. When you embrace the film, those words and passages stick with you long after and you do end up quoting them.)
Is this due to DeLillo's strong lyrical, poetic word formations?
Yes. I was unsure at first to accept the movie offer because I thought it would be extremely boring. Because basically, "Cosmopolis" is about people who are talking in a car – just that. One can easily miss the point in the movie. Either you follow DeLillo's words all the time, or you lose yourself in it, without knowing exactly what happens - then you are left with only a couple of nice pictures. David (Cronenberg) had so many strange ideas, things that at first I did not really understand. But if you’ll let yourself get involved with this, you'll see the whole picture! I've seen the film three times now. It was only the second time I could really get involved and I was just completely overwhelmed.
You say DeLillo's words haunt you. Did the the movie teach you something about life, about our times that you weren’t aware of beforehand?
Some things of political current affairs I haven’t thought about much while shooting, such as the Occupy-Wall Street movement . Then we did the protest scene: 200 extras rattled the limo, climbed onto the roof and tried with all their might to overturn the car. We sat there and focused on our dialogue - and it was so easy to ignore all this! You forget that 200 people are out there, just basically trying to kill you. That's insane! Every day we pursue similar scenes in the real world, watching TV. And you just have to turn it off and suddenly you forget what’s happening out there in the world. With Occupy thousands of people are fighting for a cause, and all their efforts have absolutely no effect on those against whom they protest. That's kind of scary. A few years ago I read a book about slavery. It described how brutal the slave owners have been to their slaves during daytime and at night they were talking about theology and God. Actually that shows that one and the same person can live in two completely different realities. While preparing for my role, I watched the interview between the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and his father. This is so sad. If you then imagine what Dahmer did you ask yourself how you can ever have pity with such a creature. In such moments your own emotional condition divides from the life story of the reality of this person.
Were you inspired by Jeffrey Dahmer for your role?
A little bit. Mainly I was looking for a voice. I watched Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer, and then found this Dahmer interview with his father. And coincidentally, at the end of the shoot it turned out that Paul Giamatti was watching exactly the same interview for his long final monologue.
Do you engage yourself politically?
Not in public. I form an opinion, but I’ll watch out for not telling people what to do. Maybe I just know too little to take responsibility for the actions of other people.
But you could still use your Twilight image to sensitize the younger generation for political and economic world events!
I don’t know. My generation shares this aggressive apathy, in which no one goes to the polls and at the same time they are irritated that everything slowly but surely loses significance. That’s ridiculous! People do make their own world! If I look at the Occupy phenomenon for example: Even if you don’t agree on the message itself or you can’t identify with the content, I think it's great that at least a few more people are getting involved.
Do you know anything of economy?
No.
What do you do with your money?
I hide it under the bed. Probably that's pretty stupid, but I don’t understand much of it. I just hope that I will be fine.
In the film Eric Packer seems very static. Basically, there are no changes in his facial expressions, gestures, or even in his own language, like a zombie, he moves through New York until he shoots himself in the hand at the end. Here you see a little humanity.
(Laughs embarrassed) It shouldn’t be like that with the static perception. Eric Packer's development takes place largely within him, very subtle. I think he is trying to be reborn.
And this slow, subtle development is also reflected in the slow-moving traffic and in the funeral ...
Exactly. He is like an iceberg - in the end he begins to break apart until nothing is left.
How critical are you with your own performance?
Very critical. This is the first film I've seen more than once, mainly because I was forced to. (Laughs) I had to watch it in Cannes and was not allowed to leave the room.
Did you want to leave?
For heaven's sake, yes! When I saw the movie for the first time, it was not quite ready yet. The second time I really liked it. And at Cannes, I didn’t watch it at all, I just watched the audience. With every cough, every clearing of the throat I thought: Oh my God, what does this mean? I’m always critical with my work, I mean, after all you want people to like what you are doing. After all that is the reason to make the next film.
Mr. Pattinson, thank you for your time!
LONDON - Actors, such as Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson, musicians, led by Adele, and models dominate the Young Rich List of British millionaires age 30 and under that "The Sunday Times" is scheduled to publish later this month.
Its Rich List 2012, set to come out on April 29, includes 60 young millionaires along with the 1,000 richest people in Britain and the 250 richest in Ireland, the paper said.
Outside of sports, which has its own Times rich list in May, more than half of the wealthiest young people in the U.K. are entertainers, according to the paper.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson saw a bigger $12.7 million gain in his net worth over the past year, but comes in second with $63.6 million.
Lionsgate executives on Friday did much to talk up the synergies between the two studios now that the brain trust behind the Twilight franchise is at work on the launch of the next possible vampire flicks franchise once The Hunger Games debuts next month.
For example, the Breaking Dawn Part 2 trailer will debut on every Hunger Games print on its theatrical opening on March 23 – Lionsgate’s largest ever theatrical release.
Ranking second behind Grint and Watson is reported real-life couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the stars of the Twilight franchise. All of the Twilight films to date have hit theaters in the last five years, earning $2.5 billion at the global box office. While the Harry Potter series is mostly about Potter’s journey, the Twilight franchise is centered on Stewart and Pattinson’s characters, the human Bella and the vampire Edward. In the most recent movie they got married, with disastrous results. They’ll have a chance to boost their earnings even more when the second part of the last book, Breaking Dawn, is released this coming November.
Robert PattinsonHere is the full list of Top 10 Grossing Actors of 2011:
$750 million
Pattinson's biggest hit of the year was Breaking Dawn, the fourth Twilight movie. But he also earns from Water for Elephants which brought in $117 million.
Later that night Rob sat down to talk about the latest film in the “Twilight” saga during a guest appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”. The 25-year-old actor stepped out onto the talk show stage in a nearly all-black look!What do you ladies in the dark recesses think? Courtney could have totally talked about the sexhair and scruff, right? ;)
Rob wore a black open-collar polo to show off his favorite v-neck tee underneath, but his suit of choice was the “Wall Street” black plain weave blazer and trousers from ACNE‘s Fall/Winter 2011 menswear collection. Rob left the two-button blazer open for a laid back feel.
He looked really good for that appearance. Really, really good. Do I need to comment on his perfected disheveled hair or ‘just-enough’ facial scruff? Because I could… I just don’t think I need to.
He finished off his look with black leather dress shoes by Salvatore Ferragamo.
Robert Pattinson ~ $20 million
The Twilight star branched out recently with Water for Elephants, which costarred Reese Witherspoon. The film did OK but its box office was a drop in the bucket compared to the Twilight films. With two movies left, expect Pattinson to keep earning big for the next two years.
This past weekend marked the first time Water for Elephants was not in the top 10 films but after 5 weekends in the top 10, this 6th weekend still gave us reason to celebrate.
Water for Elephants is now over the $100 million mark worldwide!
Reuters and Box Office Mojo reports domestic box office at $54.4 million and The Hollywood Reporter has WFE at $50.7 million in foreign box office sales, $105.1 million total.
