Apparently, being a vampire pays pretty well.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are the highest-grossing romantic celebrity couple, according to Forbes, helping the famed Twilight franchise films rake in $625 million over the last three years. 

Try to contain your shock, folks.

Forbes compiled the list by looking at the top money-making romantic movies over the past three years and then added up each couple's U.S. box office total.

Not only are R.Pattz and K.Stew the highest-grossing duo on screen, but they are also one of the only couples to make the cut who have a real-life romance as well.

The only other pair of costars-turned-lovers to land a spot on the list (coming in eighth) are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, whose film The Last Song, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, earned $63 million at the box office. 

Second place went to Sexiest Man Alive Channing Tatum and costar Rachel McAdams, whose on-screen chemistry helped their romantic drama The Vow gross $125 million. 

And Mr. Pattinson even landed on the list twice, once in the top spot with his ladylove and then taking 10th place with costar Reese Witherspoon for their work in Water for Elephants, which cashed in a cool $59 million.

Looks like Robsten is doing pretty well for themselves! But let's be real—you already knew that, right
