He has been romantically linked to a number of other famous women including actress Kristen Stewart and singer Emily Dickinson. He is one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood, with a net worth of approximately $25 million.
Early Life
Rob Pattinson was born in London on April 26, 1986. He was the only child of Marjorie (née Pattinson), a travel agent, and Andrew Pattinson, an accountant. He grew up in the affluent London suburb of Primrose Hill. As a child, he suffered from a stutter, which he overcame by taking drama classes, acting in school plays, and participating in role-playing games. He went to Hill House School and later to the exclusive Charterhouse School in London. He then studied English Literature and Film at the University of Oxford. After university, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. While in Los Angeles, he began dating American actress Reese Witherspoon, with whom he has a daughter, Genevieve. After dating for a few months, they officially started a relationship in April 2012. In October 2012, they announced they were engaged. On May 12, 2014, the couple married in an intimate ceremony in Italy.
Career
Although Pattinson had received acting job offers prior to moving to Los Angeles, it wasn’t until he got there that his career started to take off. Since then, he has appeared in a number of blockbuster films including The Twilight Saga, Magic Mike, and The Martian. In 2016, he starred in the biographical film Pattinson and co-starred in the comedy-drama Love, Simon as a gay high school student. In 2018, he was ranked #14 on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-grossing filmmakers, with an estimated net worth of $25 million.
Net Worth
Rob Pattinson’s net worth is primarily made up of the money he earns from acting and his share of the profits from the films he’s been in. His share of the profits from the Twilight Saga films alone are estimated at around $10 million. As of January 2021, his net worth is valued at about $25 million.
It’s no secret that dating royalty can be profitable. Just look at King George, who made a whopping $30 million after he married Princess Diana in 1982. Needless to say, Rob Pattinson has been very fortunate to date some of the most gorgeous women in the world. With so many attractive women in his vicinity, it’s no wonder he’s had such a successful dating life.
Income
Apart from his acting career, Rob Pattinson also makes money from music. He is the co-founder of the record label Heavenly Recordings and fronts the band Heaven & Earth, which he co-founded with Reese Witherspoon. The band released their debut single, “I’m Not Coming Back”, in December 2014 and has since gone on to sign a record deal with RCA Records.
Lifestyle
Being a movie star doesn’t earn you a lavish lifestyle exactly. In fact, the opposite is usually the case. The majority of famous figures have extremely modest lifestyles. It’s safe to assume that Rob Pattinson doesn’t spend a huge amount of money on luxury goods and extravagant holidays. Instead, he prefers to splurge on his daughter’s ballet classes and piano lessons. He is also a keen skier and enjoys spending his winter holidays in the mountains.
On the other hand, Reese Witherspoon and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley lead a very affluent lifestyle and enjoy traveling the world and spending lots of money on luxury goods and designer clothing. They’re both regular attendees at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Pattinson is also a keen collector of vintage cars and is a notable petrolhead. He owns a 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and a 1939 Bentley. In 2016, he purchased a one-of-a-kind DeLorean from the Back to the Future film trilogy. He has also been known to shop for his wife Reese Witherspoon and daughter Genevieve. He bought a Burberry coat for Witherspoon in 2014 and a Louis Vuitton handbag for Genevieve in 2015.
Interesting Fact
Pattinson is a very private person. His Twitter account, which he uses to share interesting facts about himself and his family, has only 12.7 million followers. He tweets about once every two weeks and replies to his followers’ tweets within 24 hours. His favorite thing to do on Twitter is to engage with his followers by sharing interesting tidbits about himself. One of the most popular tweets he’s ever sent out was between midnight and 12:01 a.m. on New Year’s Day 2020: “I love Twitter. It’s the only social media platform I actually look forward to using. I love telling stories and sharing interesting facts about my life & loves. Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have a lovely day and I look forward to continuing to do this on Twitter in the new year. Thanks for being here for me.

In the same year, he also caused headlines when he was involved in a motorcycle accident in Morocco. The accident, which occurred in September, resulted in him breaking his right wrist and requiring surgery. However, he made a full recovery and was back on the bike road by Christmas.
