With Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Aniston, Kobe Bryant, and Beyonce Knowles taking the top of this year's Forbes Celebrity 100 list, it is a wonder why The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Robert Pattinson did not make the list.

According to E!, however, there is a reason. Say they, the criteria for the list includes two factors: (1) recognizability and (2) earned income. "He has exactly half of what he needs to earn a spot. I'll let you guess which half," they say.

If that's the case, then one might guess that it won't be long - since, as Pattinson's star continues to rise, surely his income level will increase as well.

In the meantime, while John Mayer might not know who Robert Pattinson is, over at the Improper, there is a poll to see who is the biggest celebrity in young Hollywood. Pattinson is up against James Franco (contender in a role about Jeff Buckley), Zac Efron, Chris Pine (from Star Trek), and Shia LeBeouf - vote here!
