In 2012,Forbeslisted her as the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.

This was primarily due to her lead role as Bella Swan in the incredibly popular “Twilight” series.

Because of this, she likely didn’t make as much off of the first few films.

But, with the success of the series, Stewart became more and more indispensable to the studio.

Forbes estimated that Stewart made $12.5 million per film on the last two installments in the franchise.

She also had a share of the profits in her contract.

But her success didn’t stop at “Twilight.”

Let’s hope she shows off her drumming in a future film!

Newslater quoted the interview, sharing, “I thought what they did for a living was awesome.”

But things started to turn around after her part in “The Safety of Objects.”

The very next year, she was cast in"Panic Room.

I’m proud of it.

What a faker!”

However, Stewart defended her character from these criticisms.

“In fact, you have someone who is stronger than the guy she is with, emotionally.

Fight for the thing you love you are a remarkable person if you do it.

It’s a cop-out to think that girl power is all about gusto and ballbusting.”

She’s done a few shorts and directed an episode of the 2020 Netflix series"Homemade.

“I wanted to externalize a literally internal thought process,” she said.

Though the film is very symbolic, she confirmed it was about a romantic relationship.

“Dude, it’s totally about personal relationships,” she said.

“Full-on heartbreak.”

This had many fans guessing it could be about her relationship with former “Twilight” costar Robert Pattinson.

According toPeople, the pair was rumored to start dating in 2009.

They mostly kept their relationship private despite being the talk of celebrity gossip.

So, the actress switched to homeschooling while she was in high school.

But Stewart didn’t mind the transition and toldVanity Fairthat independent study was a much better fit for her.

Because of this, she was often bullied for not dressing like everyone else.

I remember this girl in sixth grade looked at me in gym and was like, ‘Oh my God!

That’s disgusting you don’t shave your legs!'"

Looking at her success now, it’s pretty safe to say Stewart got the last laugh.

So, when she began datingAlicia Cargilein 2014, it sparked lots of questions about her sexuality.

Rather than trying to keep it a secret, Stewart stayed open about her sexuality.

It’s not confusing at all.

For me, it’s quite the opposite."

Though once he became president, the idea of him tweeting at her was a lot stranger.

I think he’s in love with my boyfriend," which got a big laugh from the audience.

Meyer is a screenwriter and actress in her own right.

They met again at a mutual friend’s birthday party.

Throughout the Howard Stern interview, the actress continued to gush about how in love with Meyer she is.

She even told Stern that she couldn’t wait to ask Meyer to marry her.

She also clarified that she wouldn’t propose right away.

We’re marrying, it’s happening."

She specifically mentioned watching old interviews with Diana and the interpretation of her in “The Crown.”

It seems that her work paid off.
