With the "Twilight" series coming to an end this fall, Pattinson needs to prove that he can do something beyond Edward. So far, he hasn't had much luck.

Team Jacob wins this year as Lautner lands on our Celebrity 100 List but his "Twilight" costar, Robert Pattinson, sliped off. Both earned the same amount of money in the last 12 months so how did Lautner beat Pattinson? Fame. Lautner simply got more attention in the press and from fans this year. The young star now needs to work on his post-"Twilight" career. His 2011 film "Abduction" earned only $82 million at the box office. (MAX NASH/AFP/Getty Images)
The diminutive rhymester had his most lucrative year yet, thanks in part to new album "Carter IV," which sold nearly 1 million copies in its opening week last summer. But the bulk of his earnings came from playing over 50 shows in the past 12 months, grossing upwards of $600,000 per night. Expect Lil Wayne to keep getting bigger; he also launched a clothing line, Trukfit, and inked his first big endorsement deal, a multimillion dollar pact with Pepsi's Mountain Dew.

At the young age of 22 Stewart earned more than any other actress between May 2011 and May 2012. Most of that money came from "Twilight" where Stewart stars as Bella Swan.

Her relationship with "Twilight" costar Robert Pattinson is a constant source of tabloid interest. (Eamonn McCormack/WireImage/Getty Images)
The big-voiced Brit has sold over 23 million copies of her smash album "21," even more amazing in an era when selling 500,000 copies is a strong showing. With hits like "Rolling in the Deep" and "Rumor Has It," the singer-songwriter continues to reap the rewards of heavy airplay and digital downloads. She won all six Grammy awards for which she was nominated, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. (Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic/Getty Images)
Quick, who are the only two musicians in history to have five No. 1 singles from the same album? Michael Jackson and Katy Perry. The latter accomplished that feat with 2010 smash "Teenage Dream," which continues to garner considerable airplay, and dollars, for the "Firework" singer. Her California Dreams Tour grossed nearly $60 million. Perry also got plenty of attention from the media for her personal life this year. She split from comedian husband Russell Brand in December.

Last year's top celeb on our Celebrity 100 slides from No.1 on our list due to a lack of touring, but stays near the top because of her tremendous social media influence. With over 24 million followers, she's the world's most popular Twitter user; her 50 million Facebook fans are more than any other celebrity aside from Eminem and Rihanna. Thanks to multiple older hits as well as her latest album, "Born This Way," the singer-songwriter still makes plenty of money off of music sales. (AP Photo)

If that's not enough, he's also becoming a venture capitalist, amassing stakes in startups including Enflick, Tinychat and Spotify. (Michael Prince for Forbes)
