Heat magazine's list is compiled by a panel of experts that analyzes celebrities' earnings for the past year based on their TV and film deals, music sales and product endorsements.
As a result of the massively successful Twilight Saga films, Robert Pattinson has transformed into a bigger star than he could ever have imagined.
And this week, it was widely reportedly by outlets including E!, The New York Daily News and USA Today that the young actor had landed a whopping $12 million dollar men's fragrance deal with Christian Dior. Gleefully, the press noted that Pattinson's deal had even topped Brad Pitt's reported paltry $7 million for his Chanel No. 5 ads.
But there is no fragrance contract. Not yet, at least.
The Dior international press office in Paris explained to The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday morning that the so-called "reports" were just rumors and that no contract has been signed. They had no further comments.
Calls to Pattinson's camp went unanswered.
There is no question that a fragrance deal may be in Pattinson's future. After all, his Twilight costar (and rumored on-again girlfriend) Kristen Stewart is already plugging the house of Balenciaga’s Florabotanica scent.
Should a deal come through for Pattinson, he would join the ranks of other A-list actors -- Jude Law, Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman -- who have endorsed Dior fragrances in the past. Marion Cotillard is also the face of Dior handbags
But it's worth noting that Pattinson has a closer relationship with Gucci than Dior. In fact, he loves Gucci so much that he wore their designs head-to-toe (the Signoria suit, white shirt, skinny black tie, leather belt and dress shoes) throughout his film Cosmopolis, as well as during the film's press tour.
"After I found out [from his agent] that Rob actually wore Gucci in real life, I looked at photos of him in their suits and that was the style I wanted for his character,” Cosmopolis costume designer Denise Cronenberg told THR. “Gucci is not something I have used before, but I think it’s smart to use a line that he has already worn."
Cronenberg also revealed that Pattinson kept all his Gucci suits from the film. "I didn't think he would because he has like 4,000 suits," she admitted.
When and if Pattinson ever does land a lucrative fragrance contract, we hope he isn't presented with a script that rambles nonsensically about dreams and destiny (see: Pitt's frequently parodied Chanel No. 5 ad).
It was an innocent joke: "My biggest problem in life is, I'm cheap and I didn't hire a publicist," Robert Pattinson told Jon Stewart Aug. 13 on The Daily Show while promoting Cosmopolis amid the Kristen Stewart cheating hoopla. Sources tell THR the comment set off a mini-frenzy among top Hollywood publicity shops, many of which were salivating at the prospect that Pattinson -- who for years has gone without a personal PR rep -- might finally take one on.
The Twilight star's manager, Nick Frenkel, is said to have been inundated with phone calls and e-mails from firms including 42West, Sunshine Sachs and others seeking meetings to pitch press strategies for the 26-year-old star (and offering to slash fees). (Tink: I laughed. Rob forever extending Nick's job title. That's what friends are for. *singing sappy song for Rob and Nick*)
Frenkel declines comment, but one source says Pattinson still has no desire to add a publicist to his team. Notes one veteran rep: "He's actually doing really well on his own."If people had doubts, last week definitely proved he's doing great without one. Rob's team was at their best and their star client shined brightly all on his own like he always has. Publicist? Robert Pattinson don't need no stinkin' publicist. ;)
According to Pattinson's manager Nicholas Frenkel, the truth is that "We have not canceled any confirmed professional appearances for Robert. Specifically, he was never invited or set to attend these events."Wonder if Nick knew it was a competition between him, Dean and Stephanie on 44DoR today? Wanted to edge them out and beat them by reminding fandom he works hard for Rob. ;)
LONDON - Actors, such as Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson, musicians, led by Adele, and models dominate the Young Rich List of British millionaires age 30 and under that "The Sunday Times" is scheduled to publish later this month.
Its Rich List 2012, set to come out on April 29, includes 60 young millionaires along with the 1,000 richest people in Britain and the 250 richest in Ireland, the paper said.
Outside of sports, which has its own Times rich list in May, more than half of the wealthiest young people in the U.K. are entertainers, according to the paper.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson saw a bigger $12.7 million gain in his net worth over the past year, but comes in second with $63.6 million.
An Early Peek at Cannes 2012 Films
Pitt and Pattinson are in while Gosling's a question mark as the festival comes together.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have a date on the French Riviera. The official lineup of films selected for the 65th Cannes Film Festival won't be revealed until April 19, but the Twilight stars can book their flights because both have movies debuting at the fest, which kicks off May 16. Stewart's invite comes courtesy of On the Road, director Walter Salles' adaptation of the 1957 Jack Kerouac novel that defined the Beat generation, while Pattinson stars in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, the screen version of Don DeLillo's novel about a fateful day in the life of a wealthy financier.Is anyone doubting at this point? My calendar is already cleared and....
Lionsgate executives on Friday did much to talk up the synergies between the two studios now that the brain trust behind the Twilight franchise is at work on the launch of the next possible vampire flicks franchise once The Hunger Games debuts next month.
For example, the Breaking Dawn Part 2 trailer will debut on every Hunger Games print on its theatrical opening on March 23 – Lionsgate’s largest ever theatrical release.
The A-listers will be out in force, the films will go on to awards-season glory, and the European Film Market will be a dealmaking juggernaut when the 62nd annual showcase begins Feb. 9. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's the frigid Berlin winter that inspires critics to repeat the same bitter litany year after year about the Berlinale, that there are no stars, no good films, no new ideas.
Several wags called 2011's fest "the worst Berlinale ever." Really? A festival that included Wim Wenders' groundbreaking 3D documentary Pina, J.C. Chandor's furious financial drama Margin Call and the astounding Iranian film A Separation -- all of which picked up Oscar nominations on Jan. 24?
When the 62nd Berlinale opens Feb. 9, expect the critics to be just as disgruntled. And just as wrong. Berlin's broad, eclectic selection process makes it harder to pick which titles will be the big breakouts, but given the festival's track record, there will be some.

Festival director Dieter Kosslick has taken to combing the indie ranks for smaller features, often directorial debuts, with big-name casts. So this year, Berlin has the world premiere of Bel Ami, a period piece from first-timers Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod that counts Robert Pattinson, Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas among its A-list talent.Click HERE to read the article in its entirety.
Pattinson, who recently appeared in Francis Lawrence's Water for Elephants, will also star in Bel Ami with Uma Thurman; the film is set for an October 19th release.
