'Twilight' Carlisle Cullen Named Wealthiest Fictional Character...

Forget that boring Forbes 500 list, with its Walmarts, oil companies and lack of vampires. The better Forbes list was released this week, the one that not only includes vampires, but puts a bloodsucker squarely on top of the list.


In its annual ranking of the wealthiest fictional characters, Forbes calculated that Carlisle Cullen -- the father of the vampiric Cullen clan from the Twilight novels and movies -- is the most well-heeled character in the world with an estimated fortune of over $34 billion.

Forbes... explain yourself:

Immortal vampire and small-town doctor has quietly amassed a fortune over the centuries. In 1670 received generous handout from Italian friends; put savings in bank, reaped billions in compound interest. Made shrewd long-term investments in steel, gold, oil, thanks to prescience of daughter turned financial advisor Alice; saw recessions coming, invested early in Wal-Mart. Earned doctor's salary for 340 years without paying for groceries, health care expenses. Avoids sunshine and public displays of wealth but owns several valuable properties, including yacht, private island, collection of Renaissance art.

Everyone's favorite feathered billionaire Scrooge McDuck's $33.5 billion -- mostly in gold coins -- was enough to put him in the #2 slot, while Richie Rich continues to creep us out in the third position with $11.5 billion.

Tony "Iron Man" Stark is only at #4 with $8.8 billion, though that may change depending on how well his sequel does this summer. And good ol' Jed Clampett keeps sipping that Texas Tea to the tune of $7.2 billion and the final spot in the top five.


Here is the entire Forbes Fictional 15:


1. Carlisle Cullen (Twilight): $34.1 billion

2. Scrooge McDuck: $33.5 billion

3. Richie Rich: $11.5 billion

4. Tony Stark (Iron Man): $8.8 billion

5. Jed Clampett (Beverly Hillbillies): $7.2 billion

6. Adrian "Ozymandias" Veidt (Watchmen): $7 billion

7. Bruce Wayne (Batman): $6.5 billion

8. The Tooth Fairy (she's real): $3.9 billion

9. Thurston Howell, III (Gilligan's Island): $2.1 billion

10. Sir Tophamm Hatt (Thomas the Tank Engine): $2 billion

11. Artemis Fowl II : $1.9 billion

12. Montgomery C. Burns (The Simpsons): $1.3 billion

13. Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl): $1.1 billion

14. Jay Gatsby (The Great Gatsby): $1 billion

15. Lucille Bluth (Arrested Development): $950 million

Peter Facinelli Answers Questions About Rob....



During a live chat with Peter Facinelli last night he answered a few fan questions about Rob and Edward.



Hi Peter, Hope you are well! Q: If you could be any character other than your own in the saga, who would that be and why? Thank You for all the time you give to us fans on twitter! xx

Peter Facinelli: Edward, for a bunch of reasons, if I were younger would be a great character to play. If I couldn't play Edward I'm quite happy playing the dad. I don't think the apple falls far from the tree.



Team Taylor or Team Robert?

Peter Facinelli: haha - I gotta go Team Robert. he's my family. I love Taylor, but Rob plays my son so I got to keep it in the family.


But as far as the real actors in the film -- I think they're both immensely talented and I support both of them.
