While most actors banking $26.5 million per year are more than content to splurge on a Rolls-Royce and a driver, Pattinson is a little more careful with his money. The 26-year-old spent less than 0.01 percent of his annual salary on his latest ride - an American pickup from the early 2000s.
After some haggling Pattinson says he got the seller to accept $2,500 for the truck. Although affordable even by 99 percenter standards, the Silverado was more than double the price of Pattinson's last car purchase.
"The first car I ever bought was $1,000," he said of another Craigslist buy. "I thought I negotiated it myself, but I just got reminded that I had just moved to L.A. and I turned up with my agent and my manager literally to negotiate the price of a $1,000 car."
Pattinson still owns that car - a 1989 BMW - but needed to buy the Silverado after it "blew up."
"I still have it. It's just blown up," he told Yahoo! last fall.
