Peter Newcomb, the magazine’s executive editor, provides this info on how Taylor made it into the list’s top 10 earners:
He’s perhaps the highest-paid teenage star right now. When they first negotiated their contracts, they were getting paid a lot less. Then, with the immense success of the film, the agents went back and renegotiated the deal—Lautner’s deal, in particular, was really bumped up. He was actually getting less than the other two stars at the beginning of the Twilight series. For this last installment that they split into two parts, they really ratcheted it up. He’s now paid on par with the others.

Is it just me, or are the figures they are paying Rob, Kristen, and Taylor together for the first breaking dawn more than the entire budget of the first Twilight film? We really are moving up in the world!
