With a net worth of $400 million, Brad Pitt stands as an acclaimed actor and producer. He is regarded as one of the most recognized and well-compensated entertainers globally, typically earning at least $20 million from major film releases. His upfront salary for the 2025 Apple TV film “F1” was $30 million, marking a career-high payday that was soon surpassed when Apple TV subsequently offered him $35 million to co-star with George Clooney in the 2024 film “Wolfs.”

Pitt has received multiple Academy Award nominations throughout his career. He secured an Academy Award as a Producer for “12 Years a Slave,” which won Best Picture in 2014. In 2020, he earned the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

More significantly for his overall wealth, Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment with his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, during the 1990s. After their divorce, he purchased her share. Over the years, Plan B has produced several notable films, including “The Departed,” “Moonlight,” and “12 Years a Slave,” each winning the Best Picture Academy Award. Many of Pitt’s films have also come from Plan B, such as “Troy,” “Moneyball,” “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” “Killing Them Softly,” “World War Z,” “The Big Short,” and “Ad Astra.” More details about Plan B are provided later in this article.

Early Life

Born William Bradley Pitt on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, he grew up in Springfield, Missouri, alongside his two younger siblings. Attending the University of Missouri, he studied journalism with an emphasis on advertising. During his college years, he developed an interest in acting and decided to move to Los Angeles. Just two weeks shy of graduating, he left school for California.

Success

Pitt’s initial film appearance was a minor role in “Hunk.” He also made a brief appearance in the background of the 1987 film “No Way Out” starring Kevin Costner.

Following several guest spots and small roles, he gained recognition for his supporting performance in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he appeared in the Academy Award-winning movie “A River Runs Through It.” His role in the critically acclaimed 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million worldwide, garnered him significant acclaim. Pitt was awarded a Golden Globe and received an Academy Award nomination for “12 Monkeys.”

His commitment to his roles has seen him train high in the Alps, step into a boxing ring, and master impressively accurate accents. Notable films featuring Brad Pitt include:

• Ocean’s Eleven
• Troy
• Babel
• Mr. and Mrs. Smith
• Fight Club
• World War Z
• Moneyball
• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
• Bullet Train
• Babylon

Additionally, he is set to star in and produce a Formula One racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski for Apple TV, earning a $30 million fee for the project, marking a career high not including royalties.

Plan B

Brad Pitt, in November 2001, co-founded Plan B Entertainment alongside his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, super producer Brad Grey, and several other executives. Following their divorce, Brad bought Jennifer out of the company for an undisclosed sum. In October 2022, it was disclosed that Plan B was in negotiations to sell a 60% stake to the French media conglomerate Mediawan. The deal was reported to value Plan B at $300 million, with payments split evenly between 50% cash and 50% stock in Mediawan. Essentially, at the time of the transaction, Mediawan disbursed $180 million, consisting of $90 million in stock and $90 million in cash, to acquire 60% of Plan B. Assuming Brad held a 60% ownership prior, he may have taken the entire amount for himself, forfeiting any stake in Plan B, or more plausibly, sold about half of his personal shares, sharing the profits with his partners.

As of now, films produced by Plan B have brought in $3 billion in global box office sales, with total production budgets amounting to $1 billion. Among these, “World War Z” stands as Plan B’s top earner worldwide, raking in $530 million. Following closely is “Troy,” which amassed $483 million.

Plan B has produced several notable films, including:

• Troy
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
• The Departed
• The Time Traveler’s Wife
• Eat Pray Love, Moneyball
• World War Z
• Kick-Ass
• 12 Years a Slave
• Ad Astra

Notable Salaries

In 1991, Brad received merely $6,000 for his minor role in Thelma & Louise. Fast forward two years, and he earned $500,000 for Kalifornia, which is nearly equivalent to just under $1 million when inflation is considered. Following Kalifornia, he secured a hefty $4 million for Seven two years later, and the following year marked his first $10 million paycheck for Sleepers. He earned another $10 million for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the end of the 1990s, his base salary per film had soared to $17.5 million for projects like Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. For Mr. & Mrs. Smith, he received $20 million, a figure he matched for most leading roles where he didn’t serve as a producer. He chose to lower his asking price to $10 million for appearances in Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

In 2001, when he co-starred in Ocean’s Eleven, Brad accepted a reduced base salary of $10 million in exchange for a cut of backend receipts. Ultimately, he accrued $30 million from that film.

Pitt was compensated $30 million for his role in the 2025 Apple TV Formula One drama, “F1,” and earned $35 million for his work in the 2024 Apple TV film “Wolfs.”

As a producer, Pitt’s earnings have soared into untold millions—possibly exceeding what he has made throughout his acting career.

Personal Life

As previously discussed, Brad’s first marriage was to actress Jennifer Aniston, with whom he tied the knot in 2000 and divorced in 2005. Rumors have circulated that their split occurred due to his affair with Angelina Jolie, his co-star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. After nearly a decade of being together, Brad and Angelina got married in 2014 but divorced in 2019, officially separating in 2016; nevertheless, their lengthy custody and support disputes continued for several years.

The couple shares six children, which include both biological and adopted kids. Following the birth of their daughter, Shiloh, they sold the North American photo rights to People Magazine for $4.1 million, alongside British rights to Hello! for $3.5 million, amassing a total of $7.6 million.

His charitable donations have benefitted organizations such as the ONE Campaign, Make It Right Foundation, and the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which he co-established with Angelina Jolie. In the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake in 2010, Pitt and Jolie made a $1 million donation to Doctors Without Borders. Through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, they have contributed tens of millions to philanthropic initiatives. In response to Hurricane Katrina, he notably constructed 150 affordable homes in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward via the Make It Right Foundation.

Los Feliz Estate

Brad has curated an impressive real estate portfolio with properties worldwide, collectively exceeding a value of over $100 million.

From 1994 to 2023, his primary residence in Los Angeles was a compound he gradually acquired through various purchases. In March 2023, Brad reportedly sold this mansion for $39 million after discreetly marketing it without an MLS listing a few weeks ahead of the sale.

Situated in LA’s Los Feliz area, the property consists of five adjacent parcels covering nearly two acres. It features four houses, including a main residence of 6,600 square feet, along with amenities such as a skateboard park and swimming pool. Brad’s first acquisition in the compound occurred in 1994, at a price of $1.7 million, from actress Cassandra Peterson, known for her role as “Elvira.” Cassandra expressed a belief that the house was haunted. She remarked:

“Something

strange occurrences were happening. There were footsteps above my head on the ceiling. Clouds of smoke were forming into what seemed to be a human figure, only to vanish moments later. A persistent black shadow lingered at the bottom of the pool, refusing to disappear. However, after an exorcism performed by a priest and a cleansing ceremony conducted with sage by a Native American, everything seemed to dissipate.“

The main residence comprises six bedrooms and seven bathrooms distributed over 7,000 square feet of living area. This is what the estate looked like in 1997, prior to the purchase of several nearby properties and their eventual merging into one contiguous estate:

Other Real Estate

While married to Jennifer Aniston, the couple resided in an 11,000-square-foot mansion designed by Wallace Neff in Beverly Hills. They acquired this property in 2001 for $12.5 million, shortly after their wedding. Following their purchase, they undertook a total renovation that lasted three years. After their breakup and the finalization of their divorce, they sold the house for $28 million. The home later fetched $44.5 million in March 2020. Below is a video tour of the former Pitt/Aniston mansion in Beverly Hills:

In 2000, Brad acquired a beach house situated on 15 acres north of Santa Barbara in Goleta, California, for $4 million.

During late 2006, around the time he was planning to build 150 affordable homes in New Orleans, Pitt invested $3.5 million in a historic mansion located in the renowned French Quarter of the city. Brad and Angelina Jolie listed the property for $6.5 million in 2015, but eventually withdrew it from the market after failing to find a buyer.

In 2004, Brad purchased a bluff-top mansion in Malibu, California, for $8.4 million. He sold this property in December 2011 to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi for $12 million. Just six months later, Ellen and Portia sold it to a new buyer for $13 million. In October 2022, that buyer sold the home for $45 million to a couple of fashion entrepreneurs closely linked to Kim Kardashian.

In 2015, Brad bought a villa in Majorca, Spain, for $3.7 million.

In July 2022, he paid $40 million for a historically significant architectural home in Carmel Highlands, California.

In April 2023, Pitt purchased the Los Feliz home belonging to Getty oil heiress Aileen Getty for $5.5 million.

Chateau Miraval

In 2008, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie splurged $67 million on a 1,200-acre winery situated in the south of France, known as Chateau Miraval. This estate is one of the premier producers of rosé, with its wines found in most upscale grocery stores across the United States.

The main residence on the property is said to feature 35 rooms, numerous guest houses, and a recording studio. They even exchanged vows at the chateau in 2014. This property becameDuring their divorce proceedings, a significant issue arose that reportedly prolonged the final settlement for years. Ultimately, they came to an agreement that likely entailed either selling the property in the future or designating their children as the primary heirs.
