Twilight: How The Cullens Got So Rich (And What They’re Worth) – Screen Rant

In Twilight, the Cullens are insanely rich, owning multiple luxury cars and homes, but exactly how much money do they have and how did they get it?

In the hit book and film series, Twilight, the Cullen family is obviously wealthy, but how exactly did they get so rich? Carlisle Cullen is the founding member of the wealthy Cullen family and Olympic coven. Other vampires in the coven include Carlisles wife, Esme, and their adopted children: Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Jasper, and Alice. Bella Swann, the point-of-view character for the Twilight series, becomes a vampire and joins the coven in Breaking Dawnalong with her and Edwards daughter, Renesmee, after meeting and falling in love with Edward and marrying into the old money of the Cullen family in Twilight.

When Bella first meets the Cullens, they are living in a sleek mansion in a secluded forest in Washington. The actual filming location for the contemporary Cullen mansion is located just outside Portland, Oregon. The home, originally built by a Nike executive for his family, has become iconic for its wood-paneled exterior and large glass windows. In later Twilight films, the Cullens are seen in different homes, one of which was valued at around $3.3 million shortly after the release of Twilight:New Moon, a visual sign of their status. The Cullens also own more than a dozen luxury vehicles and wear designer brands, subtly showcasing their extreme wealth.

Carlisle, the oldest member of the family, has been amassing wealth for an exceptionally long time. According to Forbes, Carlisle Cullens estimated real-life net worth sat at $34.1 billion in 2010. Carlisle topped Forbes Fictional 15 list (an annually published list of the wealthiest fictional characters that ran from 2002 to 2013), where the Twilight character beat out otherfamous fictional billionaires likeTony Stark, Bruce Wayne, and Scrooge McDuck. $34.1 billion is an insane amount of money and, usually, that kind of money is only made by forming some kind ofcorporation. But in the Twilight series, Carlisle is a doctor (and has been for hundreds of years) working in mostly small towns and rural areas. Evenwhen accounting for hisreduced food and medical expenses (with him being an immortal vampire and all), it's unlikely that Carlisles wealth would have accumulated to the point that it did unless he had some other source of income.
