Hey,I always wondered how the Cullens got all that rich.

No amount of money can save them from the wrath of Chuck Norris.

If any average family didn't have to buy food, they'd be pretty wealthy too.

From what was mentioned, Carlisle was the only one with a job, but he's been working for many many many many years. They don't have to spent their money on the things average people do
Food
water
paper towels
toilet paper
tissues
utensils
beds
medication


If anda tally up how much an average household spends on these items in an average year, it is a LOT of money.
Now multiply that sejak however long Carlisle has been working. (A doctor's salary is pretty high)
Now add all they've grossed from the investments Alice suggested.
Bank interest. (If they use banks, I'm not sure)

They have plenty of money to splurge.

I heard they're rich because they don't have to buy Makanan and that Alice predicts the stock market. However, it feels kind of weird that they would be THAT rich (Isle Esme. Really?) Sure Carlisle is a doctor, but was he a doctor in a big hospital in a big city? I don't think the going pay rate would have been that much. Also, stock markets can change every single day, so unless Alice had her visions that frequently, I doubt the Cullens could make that much money. Even if they didn't have to buy food, they still owned a lot of things which cost a lot of money.

-an island! wtf?
-dozens of cars
-big house
-designer clothes
-make up

Because they don't sleep, I'm sure they keep the lights on all night. There goes the electricity bill right there. Not to mention gasoline for their cars. If they drive fast, that eats up the gas does it not?

The only reason I think they're rich is because Stephenie wanted to make them perfect. No sense making them so good looking and not have the luxury of living the way they do also.

They're rich because SMeyer wanted them to be. I think it says in New Moon (I could be wrong) 'money was something that accumulated with time' and then something about Alice predicting the stock trends. I don't think this really explains how they could 'feed a small country' (I think it says that in Breaking dawn) and how Bella taking twice the amount of how much an avergae American family earns per tahun could go unnoticed.

Basically, the Cullen are rich because they're supposed to be perfect.

Before I get into why the Cullens are rich, I will state why they should be poor.
Only one person in the family has a job. But they need to buy a lot of things-the rent for the house, the island, keeping the house clean, and even buying food-yes, food. It would seem rather suspicious if they didn't.
Now, here's how I think they got rich.
Edward Cullen got an Berlakon job in "Harry Potter" under the alias of Robert. He later played himself in the Filem of Twilight, racking up a huge fortune.

its pretty obvious isnt it?

when anda have eons and eons of time and have supernaturl powers everything gets in your way easily. and what with alice predicting the stock markets! actually the cullens can invest their money in the right firm knowing about whether it will be success atau failure in the end!

so that explains to an extent how they got rich and further they can even get to work lebih than normal humans do. in the hari as well as night. so probably with their handy powers and future predicting techniques they could have got all the money!

anda would be rich too if anda didn't had to buy food, water, elektricity and your sister could say what would make money. Plus, Carlisle is a doktor. They make a lot of money.

they've lived for a very long time, and they don't need to spend money in Makanan so....

Ask Meyer :P

I thought this was explained in the books.

Edward once berkata it was because Alice could predict the Stock Market atau /whatever/.

WTF?
Just...WTF

After they drank the blood of animals, they sold the fur!

LOL I dunno... Rawak thoughts go buzzing through my head all the time.

the weasleys didn't have to pay for Makanan atau utilities for their children when they were at hogwarts and they were still pretty poor, so not paying for Makanan does not explain amount of wealth the Cullen enjoyed in the books. Lets suppose that Carlisle makes 200k a tahun the Mercedes bella had at the start of breaking dawn was like 100k so there goes half of their income.

I think that Alice cheated at the lottery atau the stock markets atau something to that degree. I think they mentioned it in the book somewhere...

I have to admit though, if I had that much money, I'd give at least some money to charity. I mean, I'm selfish (I'd probably go to the book store with my money before I gave some to charity), but I wouldn't be that selfish. They already have so much, I would give up at least some

They've had how many years to get successful jobs and not spend money on things that a normal human would need...?

Really???!!! Their father is a DOCTOR.you know Dr.Carlisle Cullen.

Well, Carlisle has been living for quite a while so he probably saved up over the years. Plus they don't have do buy any Makanan atau toiletries, so that certainly saves a lot of money.
