Brad Pitt Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Brad Pitt’s net worth and salary?

With a net worth of $400 million, Brad Pitt stands as an award-winning actor and producer. Considered one of the highest-paid entertainers globally, he commands a minimum of $20 million for major film releases. For the 2025 Apple TV movie “F1,” he received a $30 million upfront salary, marking a career high, only to surpass it mere months later when Apple TV compensated him with $35 million to share the screen with George Clooney in the 2024 film “Wolfs.”

Throughout his career, Pitt has garnered multiple Academy Award nominations. Notably, in 2014, he secured an Academy Award as a Producer when “12 Years a Slave” clinched the Best Picture honor. In 2020, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Brad Pitt’s net worth is significantly bolstered by his role as a co-founder of Plan B Entertainment. He established this production company with his then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, during the 1990s but bought her share post-divorce. Over the years, Plan B has produced several acclaimed films, including “The Departed,” “Moonlight,” and “12 Years a Slave,” all of which have earned the Best Picture Academy Award. Many films starring Brad, like “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 also been produced by Plan B. Further details on Plan B will be 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. Pitt pursued a journalism degree with an emphasis on advertising at the University of Missouri. Eventually, he developed an interest in acting, prompting him to relocate to Los Angeles just two weeks shy of graduating, leaving school behind in pursuit of his dreams.

Success

Brad’s film career began with a minor role in “Hunk,” followed by a fleeting appearance in Kevin Costner’s 1987 film “No Way Out.”

After a series of guest roles and smaller parts, he captured attention for his supporting role in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he appeared in the Academy-Award-winning movie “A River Runs Through It.” Pitt earned critical acclaim for his role in the 1995 hit crime drama “Seven,” which topped $327 million at the box office. His next project, “12 Monkeys,” awarded him both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination.

His commitment to diverse roles has led him to various challenges, from scaling the Alps to boxing and adopting impressive 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 slated to star in and produce a Formula One racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski for Apple TV, earning a fee of $30 million for this venture, which stands as a career high apart from royalties.

Plan B

In November 2001, Plan B Entertainment was co-founded by Brad Pitt along with his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, super producer Brad Grey, and several other executives. Following their divorce, Brad purchased Jennifer’s share of the company for an undisclosed sum. In October 2022, it became public that Plan B was working towards selling a 60% stake to Mediawan, a French media conglomerate. Reportedly, the deal valued Plan B at $300 million, with half of the payment in cash and the other half in Mediawan stock. Essentially, Mediawan paid $180 million during the transaction, comprising $90 million in cash and $90 million in stock, to acquire 60% of Plan B. Assuming Brad initially held 60% of the company, he may have either taken the entire payout for himself and ceased owning any part of Plan B, or (more likely) sold approximately half of his personal shares and divided the proceeds with his partners.

As of this moment, movies produced by Plan B have amassed $3 billion in global box office earnings against total production budgets of $1 billion. The most profitable film from Plan B in terms of worldwide box office gross is “World War Z,” which generated $530 million globally. Following closely is “Troy,” which brought in $483 million.

Significant 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

Brad earned merely $6,000 for his minor role in Thelma & Louise in 1991. Just two years afterward, he received $500,000 for Kalifornia, equivalent to just under $1 million when adjusted for inflation. Following Kalifornia, he made a substantial $4 million for Seven. The next year marked his first $10 million paycheck for Sleepers, a figure he matched for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the late 1990s, his standard film salary reached $17.5 million, which he earned for films including Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. His earnings for Mr. & Mrs. Smith were $20 million, a figure that he received for most leading roles where he is not the producer. To star in the Tarantino films Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he halved his salary to $10 million.

In 2001, when co-starring in Ocean’s Eleven, Brad agreed to a reduced base salary of $10 million in return for a portion of the backend earnings. Ultimately, he earned $30 million from the film.

Pitt received $30 million for his role in the upcoming 2025 Apple TV Formula One drama “F1.” Additionally, he was paid $35 million for his part in the 2024 Apple TV movie “Wolfs.”

As a film producer, Pitt has made countless millions more—potentially surpassing his earnings from acting throughout his career.

Personal Life

Previously, Brad was wed to actress Jennifer Aniston. Their marriage took place in 2000 but ended in divorce in 2005. Rumors have long circulated that their separation was triggered by his affair with Angelina Jolie, his co-star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Following nearly a decade together, Brad and Angelina tied the knot in 2014. They separated officially in 2016, divorced in 2019, yet their custody and support disagreements continued to persist for several years.

The couple shares six children, a combination of adopted and biological. After Jolie welcomed 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, totaling $7.6 million. Subsequently, following the birth of their twins Knox and Vivienne, they repeated this sale to People and Hello!, earning them $15 million. This transaction remains the highest-priced celebrity photograph ever.

In 2022, Pitt started a relationship with jewelry designer Ines de Ramon.

Philanthropy

Throughout his career, Pitt has engaged in various humanitarian efforts. He has made significant donations to organizations like the ONE Campaign, Make It Right Foundation, and the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which he co-founded with Angelina Jolie. After the Haiti earthquake in 2010, Pitt and Jolie contributed $1 million to Doctors Without Borders. Through their foundation, the couple has donated tens of millions to charitable causes. Furthermore, via the Make It Right Foundation, he constructed 150 affordable homes in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward post-Hurricane Katrina.

Los Feliz Estate

Holding an impressive real estate portfolio, Brad’s properties around the globe are collectively valued at over $100 million.

For nearly three decades, from 1994 to 2023, his primary residence in LA was a compound he acquired over the years through numerous purchases. Reportedly, this mansion was sold for $39 million in March 2023, following a quiet period of shopping it around a few weeks earlier. It was never listed on the MLS.

Located in the Los Feliz area of LA, the property now comprises five contiguous parcels covering just under two acres. It features four homes, which include a 6,600-square-foot main house, a skateboard park, a swimming pool, and more. Brad’s initial acquisition for this compound began in 1994 with a $1.7 million purchase. The seller at the time was actress Cassandra Peterson, known for her role as “Elvira.” Cassandra had been convinced that the house was haunted, remarking:

“Somethingweird was happening. There were footsteps above me on the ceiling. Smoke swirled into shapes resembling a human figure before vanishing. A persistent black shadow lingered at the bottom of the pool. Once a priest performed an exorcism in the home and a Native American cleansed it with sage, everything seemed to settle down.“

The main residence contains six bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread across 7,000 square feet of living area. Here’s how the estate appeared back in 1997 after he purchased several adjacent properties before merging them into one contiguous estate:

Other Real Estate

While married to Jennifer Aniston, the former 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, just a year after their wedding. A complete renovation took place that lasted three years. Following their separation and finalized divorce, Brad and Jennifer sold the home for $28 million, which later sold for $44.5 million in March 2020. Here is a video tour of the former Pitt/Aniston Beverly Hills mansion:

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

Around the end of 2006, as he was planning the construction of 150 affordable homes in New Orleans, Pitt acquired a historic mansion in the city’s French Quarter for $3.5 million. He and Jolie listed the property for sale in 2015 at $6.5 million but eventually took it off the market due to the lack of buyers.

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

In 2015, Brad acquired a villa on Majorca, a Spanish island, for $3.7 million.

In July 2022, an architecturally significant historic home in Carmel Highlands, California, was bought by Brad for $40 million.

In April 2023, Pitt purchased the Los Feliz residence previously owned by Getty oil heiress Aileen Getty for $5.5 million.

Chateau Miraval

In 2008, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie invested a staggering $67 million in Chateau Miraval, a 1,200-acre winery located in the south of France. Chateau Miraval is renowned for being one of the leading producers of rosé, with its bottles being available at upscale grocery stores throughout the US.

The main house on the estate is said to consist of 35 rooms, along with multiple guest houses and a recording studio. They famously exchanged vows at the chateau in 2014. This property becameDuring the proceedings of their divorce, a significant point of contention arose, which is said to have prolonged the final settlement for several years. Ultimately, they arrived at a settlement that likely entailed an arrangement to either sell the property in the future or designate their children as the primary heirs.
