Forbes just announced the top 10 highest paid stars under the age of 30.

The list was based on album and concert sales, movie paydays, profit participation, endorsement, and advertising work between May 2011 and May 2012.

We're happy to report that women dominate the list and while all of them are household names, there are still a few surprises.

Let's just say it was a good year for vampires and werewolves.

All of the following numbers are based on Forbes research.

10. $26.5M: Robert Pattinson

The 26-year old may have gotten his start in "Harry Potter" but he has "Twilight" to thank for his enormous $26.5 million profit this year. While the majority of that has come from his role as Edward, he has also starred in "Remember Me" and "Water for Elephants."



9. $26.5M: Taylor Lautner

The 20-year old "Twilight" actor has also managed to rake in $26.5 million, thanks to his role as Jacob. Taylor Lautner has also appeared in "Abduction" with now ex-girlfriend Lily Collins, which made $82 million at the box office.



8. $27M: Lil' Wayne

Surprise, surprise! Rapper Lil' Wayne makes it all the way to number eight! It's been a busy year for the 29-year old: he's played over 50 shows in the past year, launched a clothing line, and landed his first endorsement deal with Mountain Dew.
