‘The Twilight Saga’: How Much Is the ‘Cullen Coven’ Worth Today?
Stephanie Meyer’s young adult novels dubbed The Twilight Saga reimagined vampires in a new light. That vision was brought to life on the big screen to the delight of fans around the world. The Cullen family is the central vampire coven depicted in the novels and films. Each member has unique quirks, and some even possess special abilities above and beyond typical vamp powers. But which Cullen portrayer is most dominant today when it comes to net worth?
‘The Twilight Saga’: Who are The Cullens?
In Twilight, a teenaged girl named Bella Swan becomes romantically entangled with an immortal named Edward Cullen. As the object of Ed’s affections, Bella spends lots of time with his adoptive family of vampires in their expansive home.
The head of the household, Carlisle Cullen, works as the town doctor, and his wife, Esme, has a knack for remodeling. Carlisle and Esme act as parental figures to Edward and his four adoptive siblings, Alice and Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. All seven members of the Cullen coven demonstrate fierce love and loyalty to one another, which ultimately extends to Bella as well.
Several of the Cullens have special gifts, including Edward, who possesses telepathic abilities and Alice, who can see the future. Emmett boasts brute strength, and Jasper is a skilled empath. Twilight enthusiasts have debated which Cullen reigns supreme within the books’ pages and on the big screen. But in reality, when it comes to net worth, one Cullen portrayer has out-earned his scene partners. Here’s how the actors who played the Cullen family rank when it comes to wealth, as estimated by Celebrity Net Worth.
