Brad Pitt Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is the net worth and salary of Brad Pitt?

With a net worth of $400 million, Brad Pitt is an acclaimed actor and producer. Recognized as one of the world’s most famous and highest-paid entertainers, he typically secures at least $20 million for major film releases. For the 2025 Apple TV film “F1,” he received a $30 million upfront salary, marking the highest payday of his career at that time. However, this record was quickly surpassed when Apple TV paid him $35 million to co-star alongside George Clooney in the 2024 film “Wolfs.”

Throughout his career, Pitt has received numerous Academy Award nominations. He won an Academy Award as a Producer in 2014 when “12 Years a Slave” was honored with the Best Picture award. In 2020, he secured the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Significantly contributing to his overall net worth, Brad Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment. He established the production company in the 1990s with his then-wife Jennifer Aniston and later bought her out following their divorce. Over the years, Plan B has been responsible for several notable films, including “The Departed,” “Moonlight,” and “12 Years a Slave,” all of which garnered the Best Picture Academy Award. Many films starring Brad have also been produced by 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 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, with his two younger siblings. He enrolled at the University of Missouri, majoring in journalism with an emphasis on advertising. During his college years, he discovered his passion for acting and decided to move to Los Angeles. He left school just two weeks shy of completing his degree and moved to California.

Success

Brad’s inaugural film role was a minor background character in “Hunk.” Additionally, viewers may catch a fleeting glimpse of him in the 1987 Kevin Costner film “No Way Out.”

After several minor roles and guest appearances, Pitt gained recognition for his supporting performance in “Thelma and Louise.” In 1992, he shared the screen in the Academy-Award-winning film “A River Runs Through It.” His portrayal in the successful 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million worldwide, earned him widespread acclaim. Following this, he received a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award nomination for his role in “12 Monkeys.”

Pitt’s commitment to his craft has led him to traverse the Alps, box in the ring, and master remarkably 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, for which he received a $30 million fee, marking a career high, not including royalties.

Plan B

In November 2001, Brad Pitt, along with his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, super producer Brad Grey, and a number of executives, co-founded Plan B Entertainment. Following their divorce, Brad bought out Jennifer’s share of the company for an undisclosed sum. In October 2022, it became public that Plan B was in the midst of negotiating a sale of a 60% stake to the French media conglomerate Mediawan. This deal was said to value Plan B at $300 million, which was financed through a combination of 50% cash and 50% stock in Mediawan. Essentially, Mediawan paid $180 million at the time of the deal, comprising $90 million in cash and $90 million in stock, to acquire 60% of Plan B. If Brad previously owned 60% of the company, he may have either taken the entire amount for himself, relinquishing any ownership of Plan B, or more likely, sold approximately half of his personal shares, sharing the profits with his partners.

As of this writing, Plan B films have amassed $3 billion in global box office revenue against a total production budget of $1 billion. The movie that has garnered the most success in terms of worldwide box office revenue is “World War Z,” raking in $530 million globally. Close behind is “Troy,” which generated $483 million.

Among notable Plan B films 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

In 1991, Brad was compensated $6,000 for his minor role in Thelma & Louise. Just a couple of years later, he made $500,000 for Kalifornia, which, when adjusted for inflation, comes to just under $1 million. Following Kalifornia, he received $4 million for his performance in Seven. The subsequent year brought him his first $10 million paycheck for Sleepers, as well as another $10 million for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the late 1990s, his base salary for films had risen to $17.5 million, which he earned for projects like Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. For Mr. & Mrs. Smith, he earned $20 million, a figure he has received for most lead roles when not producing. However, for the Tarantino films Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he chose to cut his salary to $10 million.

In 2001, while co-starring in Ocean’s Eleven, Brad opted for a reduced base salary of $10 million in exchange for a share of the backend receipts, netting him a total of $30 million from the film’s success.

For his role in the upcoming 2025 Apple TV Formula One drama “F1,” Pitt is set to earn $30 million. Additionally, for his appearance in the 2024 Apple TV film “Wolfs,” he will receive $35 million.

As a producer in the film industry, Pitt has likely accumulated additional millions, possibly surpassing his earnings as an actor throughout his career.

After dating for nearly a decade, Brad and Angelina tied the knot in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2019, although they had officially separated in 2016; their custody and support disputes continued for several more years.

Los Feliz Estate

Brad owns an impressive array of real estate valued at over $100 million in total, spanning properties worldwide.

From 1994 to 2023, his primary residence in LA was a compound acquired through various transactions over the years. Reportedly, Brad sold this mansion for $39 million in March 2023 after quietly marketing it a few weeks earlier, without officially listing it on the MLS.

Situated in the Los Feliz neighborhood of LA, the property consists of five contiguous parcels covering just under two acres. It boasts four homes, including a main house of 6,600 square feet, along with a skateboard park, a swimming pool, and more. Brad’s first purchase in this compound was in 1994 for $1.7 million, buying it from actress Cassandra Peterson, known for her “Elvira” persona. Cassandra believed the house was haunted and remarked about it:

“Something

There were strange occurrences happening. Above me, I could hear footsteps on the ceiling. Clouds of smoke began to form into what appeared to be a human figure, only to vanish moments later. A persistent black shadow lingered at the bottom of the pool, refusing to disappear. After a priest conducted an exorcism at the house and a Native American conducted a sage cleansing of the property, everything seemed to return to normal.“

The main residence features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, spanning over 7,000 square feet of living space. Below is an image of the estate from 1997, showcasing its appearance before he merged several nearby estates into one continuous property:

He and Jolie listed this property for $6.5 million in 2015, but ultimately withdrew it from the market due to a lack of buyers.

In 2004, Brad acquired a bluff-top mansion in Malibu, California, for $8.4 million. He then sold this residence in December 2011 to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi for $12 million. Just six months later, they sold it to a new buyer for $13 million. In October 2022, this buyer turned around and sold the home for $45 million to a fashion entrepreneur couple closely connected to Kim Kardashian.
