What does a Middle Eastern Prince do when he has a wad of cash and some spare time?

He splurges $500,000 on a 15-minute meet and greet with Twilight star Kristen Stewart.

Yes, this actually happened.

An unidentified Prince paid more than $33,333 a minute to mingle with the moody actor in December last year. That’s roughly $555 a second.

Harvey Weinstein negotiated the deal which raised funds for the Hurricane Sandy relief effort.

The movie executive says when he took the offer to Stewart, her immediate response was “How much?”

“My kind of girl,” he joked.

The 23-year-old actor met the Prince, and his team of bodyguards, at Madison Square Garden.

Weinstein, who founded Miramax Films, dropped the bombshell at the Toronto International Film Festival where he is currently promoting 12.12.12, a documentary about the Hurricane Sandy benefit concert.

Oh, and the Prince paid in cash … nice.
