Brad Pitt Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Brad Pitt’s net worth and salary?

With a net worth of $400 million, Brad Pitt is a celebrated actor and producer renowned for his contributions to the film industry. One of the highest-paid actors globally, he regularly secures a minimum of $20 million per major film release. For the 2025 Apple TV project “F1,” he received a $30 million upfront salary, marking a career-high earnings milestone. However, this record was surpassed shortly after when he was paid $35 million by Apple TV to co-star alongside George Clooney in the 2024 film “Wolfs.”

Throughout his career, Pitt has received numerous Academy Award nominations. Notably, he won an Academy Award as a producer for “12 Years a Slave,” which claimed the Best Picture title in 2014. Additionally, Pitt was awarded the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 2020 for his performance in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Significantly contributing to his overall net worth, Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment with his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, in the 1990s. Following their divorce, he bought her out of the production company. Over time, Plan B has been behind several critically acclaimed films, such as “The Departed,” “Moonlight,” and “12 Years a Slave,” all winners of the Best Picture Academy Award. Many projects featuring Pitt, including “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. More details about Plan B will follow later in this article.

Early Life

Born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, William Bradley Pitt grew up in Springfield, Missouri, alongside his two younger siblings. He pursued a major in journalism with a concentration in advertising at the University of Missouri. At one point during his college years, he developed a passion for acting and decided to relocate to Los Angeles, leaving school just two weeks shy of completing his degree.

Success

His initial film appearance was a minor role in “Hunk,” and he briefly appeared in the background of the 1987 Kevin Costner film “No Way Out.”

After landing several guest spots and minor roles, Pitt rose to fame with his supporting turn in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he starred in the Academy Award-winning film “A River Runs Through It.” He garnered significant acclaim for his role in the successful 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million globally. His subsequent film “12 Monkeys” earned him a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination.

Pitt’s commitment to his roles has led him to diverse filming locations, from the Alps to boxing rings, along with perfecting strikingly realistic accents. 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

Additionally, he is set to both star in and produce a Formula One racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski for Apple TV, for which he secured a fee of $30 million, a notable high excluding any royalties.

Plan B

In November 2001, Plan B Entertainment was co-founded by Brad Pitt alongside his then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, prominent producer Brad Grey, and various other executives. Following their divorce, Brad acquired Jennifer’s shares in the company for an undisclosed sum. In October 2022, it came to light that Plan B was negotiating to sell a 60% stake to the French media conglomerate Mediawan. This deal valued Plan B at $300 million, with payments made in equal halves: 50% cash and 50% stock in Mediawan. Essentially, at the time of the agreement, Mediawan contributed $180 million to possess 60% of Plan B, which consisted of $90 million in cash and another $90 million in stock. If Brad previously held a 60% ownership in the company, he either took the entire sum for himself and divested entirely from Plan B, or more plausibly, he sold about half of his shares, sharing the profit with his partners.

As of now, movies produced by Plan B have accrued $3 billion in global box office revenue against a total production budget of $1 billion. The film “World War Z” stands out as Plan B’s top performer, raking in $530 million worldwide, while “Troy” follows closely as the second highest with earnings of $483 million.

Among the notable films produced by Plan B are:

• 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 received only $6,000 in 1991 for his minor role in Thelma & Louise. Just two years later, that sum rose to $500,000 for Kalifornia, which adjusts to just under $1 million considering inflation. Following Kalifornia, he made $4 million for Seven, and then in the subsequent year, his first paycheck of $10 million came from Sleepers. A similar amount was earned for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the end of the 1990s, his standard salary had reached $17.5 million, paid for films like Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. He garnered $20 million for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, a figure he achieved for most leading roles that did not involve him as a producer. For Quentin Tarantino’s films, Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he halved his salary to $10 million.

In 2001, his agreement for Ocean’s Eleven entailed a reduced base salary of $10 million in return for a cut of the backend profits, leading to a total earning of $30 million from the film.

Pitt received $30 million for his role in the 2025 Apple TV Formula One drama, “F1,” while for the 2024 Apple TV feature “Wolfs,” he was compensated with $35 million.

Furthermore, as a film producer, Pitt has accumulated countless additional millions, likely exceeding his earnings as an actor throughout his career.

Previously mentioned, Brad was married to actress Jennifer Aniston, with their marriage occurring in 2000 and concluding in divorce in 2005. Rumors have constantly circulated that their separation resulted from his affair with his co-star Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. After nearly a decade together, Brad and Angelina tied the knot in 2014. However, they officially split in 2016, with their divorce finalized in 2019; yet, their custody and financial disputes continued for several more years.

The couple, Pitt and Jolie, are parents to six children, a combination of adopted and biological kids. Following the birth of their daughter Shiloh, they sold the North American rights to her photos to People Magazine for $4.1 million, while the British rights were sold to Hello! for $3.5 million, totaling $7.6 million.

Additionally, through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, they donated tens of millions to charitable organizations. The Make It Right Foundation saw him construct 150 affordable homes in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina.

Los Feliz Estate

Brad boasts an impressive real estate portfolio valued at over $100 million, comprising properties worldwide.

From 1994 to 2023, his main residence in Los Angeles was a compound that he assembled over the years through several acquisitions. Reportedly, Brad sold this mansion for $39 million in March 2023 after discreetly shopping it around weeks before, without listing it on the MLS.

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

“Something

some strange occurrences. Above my head, footsteps echoed on the ceiling. Clouds of smoke twisted into forms resembling a human before dissipating. A persistent black shadow lingered underneath the pool, refusing to vanish. After a priest completed an exorcism and a Native American performed a sage cleansing on the home, everything seemed to return to normal.“

The primary residence consists of six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, spanning 7,000 square feet of living area. Below is an image depicting how the estate appeared in 1997, prior to the merging of several nearby estates into a single contiguous property:

Other Real Estate

Around late 2006, as he was planning a project for constructing 150 affordable homes in New Orleans, Pitt acquired a historic mansion in the French Quarter for $3.5 million.
