Cha-ching!
Kristen Stewart bankrolled $500,000 from an unnamed Middle Eastern prince for a good cause.
Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein spilled the beans to reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept. 8 screening of "12.12.12," the Hurricane Sandy benefit concert movie.
According to Weinstein, the prince paid the large sum in order to spend 15 minutes with Stewart, reports Us Weekly.

The "Twilight" star was intrigued with the offer and reportedly asked Weinstein how much the royal was offering, which led him to come to a pricey agreement with the prince in exchange for a chat with the 23-year-old actress.
"And Kristen sits with the guy for 15 minutes," Weinstein said of the deal he brokered, which was a substantial donation made to the Sandy relief effort.
The unnamed prince forked over the dough in cash prior to meeting with Stewart at Madison Square Garden.
But the half a million dollars proved to be a minimal donation in the total sum the benefit concert raised.
With the help of other A-list celebs like Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen, the fundraiser raked in $30 million.
