For major motion picture releases, he consistently secures at least $20 million.

Additionally, many of Brad’s films, 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,” have been produced by Plan B. More details on Plan B will follow later in this article.

Early Life

Born William Bradley Pitt on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, Brad grew up in Springfield, Missouri, along with his two younger siblings. He attended the University of Missouri, majoring in journalism with an emphasis on advertising. During his college years, he developed an interest in acting and decided to relocate to Los Angeles. He made the leap by leaving college just two weeks before completing his degree to move to California.

Success

His debut film role featured him in a background capacity in “Hunk.” Additionally, Brad made a brief appearance in the background of the 1987 Kevin Costner film “No Way Out.”

After appearing in various minor roles and guest spots, Pitt garnered attention for his supporting role in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he appeared in the Academy Award-winning film “A River Runs Through It.” His performance in the successful 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million globally, received significant acclaim. For his role in “12 Monkeys,” he earned a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination.

Brad Pitt’s commitment to his characters has taken him on unique journeys, including the Alps, the boxing ring, and adopting remarkably accurate accents. Some other 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

He is also scheduled to star in and produce a Formula One racing film for Apple TV, directed by Joseph Kosinski, for which he secured a $30 million fee, marking a career high not including royalties.

Plan B

In November 2001, alongside his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, super producer Brad Grey, and various other executives, Brad Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment. Following their divorce, Brad purchased Jennifer’s stake in the company for an undisclosed sum. In October 2022, it became known that Plan B was preparing to sell a 60% share to the French media conglomerate Mediawan. This agreement reportedly valued Plan B at $300 million, with payment made in 50% cash and 50% stock in Mediawan. Thus, during the transaction, Mediawan invested $180 million, comprising $90 million in cash and $90 million in stock, to acquire 60% ownership of Plan B. Assuming Brad previously held 60% of the company, he either took the entire amount for himself and no longer has any ownership in Plan B, or more likely, he sold approximately half of his shares and distributed the profits with his partners.

At the time of this writing, films produced by Plan B have amassed $3 billion in global box office earnings from a total production budget of $1 billion. The highest-grossing movie from Plan B, in terms of worldwide box office earnings, is “World War Z,” which brought in $530 million internationally. Following closely, the second-best performer is “Troy,” which earned $483 million.

Noteworthy films from Plan B include:

• 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 a mere $6,000 for his small role in Thelma & Louise. Just two years later, he earned $500,000 for Kalifornia, equivalent to just under $1 million when adjusted for inflation. Two years after that, he was compensated with $4 million for his role in Seven. The following year marked his first $10 million paycheck for Sleepers, which he matched again with a $10 million salary for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the late 1990s, his base salary for films had risen to $17.5 million for projects like Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. Brad garnered $20 million for Mr. & Mrs. Smith and has typically earned that amount for most leading roles where he is not producing. For the Tarantino films Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he reduced his salary to $10 million.

In 2001, while co-starring in Ocean’s Eleven, Brad accepted a reduced base salary of $10 million in return for a percentage of the backend revenue, ultimately earning $30 million from the film.

For his participation in the 2025 Apple TV Formula One drama titled “F1,” he was paid $30 million, while his compensation for the 2024 Apple TV film “Wolfs” amounted to $35 million.

Personal Life

Brad was previously married to actress Jennifer Aniston, as mentioned earlier. Their marriage took place in 2000, ending in divorce in 2005. Rumors have circulated regarding their breakup, often attributing it to Brad’s alleged affair with Angelina Jolie, his co-star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. After a nearly decade-long relationship, Brad and Angelina tied the knot in 2014. Their divorce occurred in 2019, although they officially separated in 2016; however, a prolonged custody and support battle ensued for several years.

The couple shares six children, a blend of adopted and biological. Upon the birth of their daughter Shiloh, they sold the North American photo rights to People Magazine for $4.1 million and the British rights to Hello! for $3.5 million, amounting to a total of $7.6 million. After welcoming twins Knox and Vivienne, they sold the rights to People and Hello! again for a combined total of $15 million, a record for the most expensive celebrity photograph ever.

In response to the Haiti earthquake in 2010, Pitt and Jolie donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders. The couple contributed tens of millions to charity through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation and built 150 affordable homes in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward via the Make It Right Foundation following Hurricane Katrina.

Los Feliz Estate

Brad boasts an impressive real estate portfolio that encompasses properties worldwide, collectively worth over $100 million.

From 1994 to 2023, Brad’s primary residence in LA was a compound he gradually built through several transactions. In March 2023, he reportedly sold this mansion for $39 million after quietly marketing it a few weeks prior without an official MLS listing.

Situated in the Los Feliz neighborhood of LA, the property comprises five contiguous parcels covering nearly two acres. It features four homes, including a 6,600-square-foot main house, a skateboard park, a swimming pool, and more. Brad purchased his first parcel within the compound in 1994 for $1.7 million from actress Cassandra Peterson, known for her portrayal of “Elvira.” Cassandra believed the house was haunted and commented about it:

“Somethingweird happenings. Footsteps echoed above on the ceiling. Smoke clouds coalesced into what appeared to be a human figure before fading away. A persistent black shadow lingered at the bottom of the pool. After a priest conducted an exorcism in the residence and a Native American performed a sage cleansing, everything seemed to dissipate.“

The primary residence consists of six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, encompassing 7,000 square feet of living area. Below is how the estate appeared in 1997 after he had acquired multiple nearby properties, but before merging them into a single contiguous estate:

Towards the end of 2006, as he was organizing the construction of 150 affordable homes in New Orleans, Pitt acquired a historic mansion in the French Quarter for $3.5 million. The property was listed for sale by Pitt and Jolie in 2015 for $6.5 million, but they later removed it from the market due to a lack of buyers.

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

The main residence on the estate reportedly features 35 rooms, several guest houses, and a recording studio. Notably, they exchanged vows at the chateau in 2014. This property becameA significant issue during their divorce proceedings led to the final settlement being prolonged for several years. Ultimately, they arrived at an agreement that likely included a plan to either sell the property in the future or designate their children as the primary heirs.
