Don't overestimate money and status to negate height, it's always something that hangs around in the back of people's minds. The fact that we had to look up Mr. Pump's height is proof that most people don't know his height, they just know that he's rich and kinda attractive I guess.
Just like Taylor Lautner. At peak "Team Jacob" era he had money and status, because the average moviegoer didn't know he was short. And when they found out, it was like "Huh. I mean, yes he is hot, and rich, and I like him in Twilight, but... come on, can't I be shocked at how much shorter he is than me?" And shocked they were. And shocked they will continue to be.
