Throughout his career, Pitt has garnered multiple Academy Award nominations. He clinched an Academy Award for Best Picture as a producer in 2014 for “12 Years a Slave.” Additionally, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 2020 for his performance in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Brad Pitt’s financial success is significantly bolstered by his role as co-founder of Plan B Entertainment, a production company he established in the 1990s with his then-wife, Jennifer Aniston. Following their divorce, he bought her share. Plan B has produced several acclaimed films, including “The Departed,” “Moonlight,” and “12 Years a Slave,” all of which received the Best Picture Academy Award. Furthermore, many movies in which Pitt stars, 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 be provided 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 degree in journalism with a concentration in advertising at the University of Missouri. During his college years, he developed an interest in acting and decided to relocate to Los Angeles. He left school just two weeks before graduating to move to California.

Success

Brad’s acting career commenced with a minor role in the movie “Hunk.” He also briefly appeared in the 1987 Kevin Costner film “No Way Out.”

Following various guest appearances and small roles, he gained fame due to his supporting role in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he starred in “A River Runs Through It,” which won an Academy Award. His performance in the successful 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million worldwide, received widespread acclaim. For his subsequent film, “12 Monkeys,” he won a Golden Globe and earned an Academy Award nomination.

Pitt has shown remarkable commitment to his characters, undertaking various challenges, including climbing the Alps and mastering 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

He is also slated to star in and produce a Formula One racing film for Apple TV, under the direction of Joseph Kosinski. For this project, he is set to earn a fee of $30 million, marking a new career high, excluding royalties.

Plan B

Co-founding Plan B Entertainment in November 2001 alongside his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, super producer Brad Grey, and several other executives, Brad Pitt played a significant role in the company’s establishment. Following their divorce, Brad acquired Jennifer’s shares in the company for an undisclosed sum. By October 2022, it became public that Plan B was negotiating to sell a 60% stake to the French media behemoth Mediawan. This transaction valued Plan B at approximately $300 million, with payments divided equally between cash and stock in Mediawan. Essentially, during the deal, Mediawan invested $180 million, consisting of $90 million in cash paired with $90 million in stock, to gain a 60% stake in Plan B. Assuming that Brad previously held 60% of the company, he had two options: either he opted to receive the entire amount and thus forfeited his ownership of Plan B, or he (more likely) divested close to half of his shares and distributed the earnings with his partners.

At this time, films produced by Plan B have accumulated $3 billion in global box office earnings from an estimated $1 billion in production expenses. The highest-grossing film in Plan B’s portfolio is “World War Z,” raking in $530 million worldwide, followed by “Troy,” which tallied $483 million in revenue.

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 earned a mere $6,000 in 1991 for his supporting role in Thelma & Louise. Just two years later, he was compensated with $500,000 for his role in Kalifornia, which roughly converts to just under $1 million when adjusted for inflation. A further two years on, he secured a hefty $4 million for his performance in Seven, and the subsequent year marked his first $10 million paycheck for Sleepers, with an additional $10 million earned for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the tail end of the 1990s, his base salary for films had risen to $17.5 million, a sum he earned for movies such as Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. $20 million was his fee for the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and this amount has been standard for most of his leading roles where he took on no production responsibilities. For the Quentin Tarantino films Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he opted to reduce his salary to $10 million.

In 2001, while featuring in Ocean’s Eleven, Brad agreed to a reduced base salary of $10 million to receive a percentage of backend profits, ultimately netting $30 million from the film.

For his performance in the 2025 Apple TV drama centered on Formula One, dubbed “F1,” Pitt was compensated a generous $30 million. In the 2024 movie “Wolfs,” also for Apple TV, he commanded $35 million.

Additionally, as a film producer, Pitt has accrued remarkable additional earnings, likely surpassing his total income from his acting career.

Sitting in LA’s Los Feliz neighborhood, the property comprises five contiguous parcels covering nearly two acres. It features four homes, a skate park, a swimming pool, and more, with the main house spanning 6,600 square feet. Brad’s first acquisition in this compound was in 1994, when he purchased a parcel for $1.7 million from actress Cassandra Peterson, known for her role as “Elvira.” Cassandra believed the house was haunted and remarked:

“Something

weird happenings occurred. Above me, footsteps could be heard on the ceiling. Smoke gathered into what appeared to be a human figure before vanishing. A persistent black shadow hovered at the bottom of the pool, refusing to dissipate. It all seemed to cease after a priest conducted an exorcism in the house and a Native American performed a sage cleansing.“

The main residence features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, encompassing 7,000 square feet of living area. Below is how the estate appeared in 1997, prior to the combining of several nearby estates into a single contiguous property:
