Kristen Stewart was apparently paid a whopping 500,000 dollars in exchange for a 15 minute meet and greet with a Middle Eastern Prince.
The 'Twilight' star received the full amount in cash when she met the unidentified Prince, and his team of bodyguards, at Madison Square Garden in December 2012, the Mirror reported.
Hollywood movie executive Harvey Weinstein revealed that he helped negotiate the deal between the actress and the Prince to raise funds for the Hurricane Sandy relief effort.
Weinstein, who is currently promoting a documentary based on the Hurricane Sandy benefit concert at the Toronto Film Festival, said that when he took the offer to Stewart, her immediate response was "How much?"
The Prince apparently had to shell out over 33,333 dollars a minute, which is roughly 555 dollars a second, to mingle with Stewart.
