Kristen Stewart received $500,000 after sitting with a guy for 15 minutes, Yahoo! reported Tuesday.
According to the report, Kristen Stewart and co-actor Michael Pitt raised $500,000 for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts through the gentle assistance of Harvey Weinstein.
While promoting "12.12.12," the Hurricane Sandy benefit concert film at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday, Harvey said that the 'Twilight' star raised $500,000 for Sandy relief by simply sitting with a Middle Eastern Prince for just 15 minutes.
NY Times reported that Stewart asked Weinstein the amount the prince was willing to give her for the deal.
Shortly, Weinstein talked to the prince, who proposed the whopping figure, and shared the good news to the actress.
The best part about it according to Harvey was the fact that the money was delivered in advance, in cash.
Chairman of Madison Square Garden James Dolan quipped, "And Kristen sits with the guy for 15 minutes."
In his CBS appearance this morning, Weinstein enlisted former president Bill Clinton as well as incumbent president Barack Obama to help persuade Led Zeppelin reunite for the benefit of the concert, but admitted that Jimmy Page wouldn't do it.
The movie mogul also revealed that he asked Led Zeppelin to play in the concert by explaining that an appearance from the remaining members of the band could significantly help increase the amount of money the benefit aimed to raise.
"Undeterred, Weinstein asked Hillary Clinton if she could lend her considerable diplomatic skills to the cause," The Huffington Post reported. "She didn't think that she'd be the best person to talk Led Zeppelin into performing, so she recruited her husband Bill."
In his last effort, Weinstein asked president Obama for help, but he received a no-go for it.
Nevertheless, the good cause wasn't a total loss.
The concert, which was held at Madison Square Garden in December, raised $30 million for relief efforts all in all.
