Former celebrity couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were one of the most high-profile pairings in the industry. The two got married in 2014 after dating for almost a decade and currently have six children together.
In 2016, just two years after their wedding, Jolie filed for divorce from her husband. The court proceedings lasted over eight years, but the two have recently reached a divorce settlement, according to Jolie's lawyer, James Simon.
In addition to being a celebrity couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are among the richest and highest-paid stars in Hollywood. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brad Pitt has a net worth of $400 million, which is more than thrice that of Angelina Jolie, who is valued at $120 million.
Exploring the net worths of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
A significant portion of the net worth of both stars comes from acting in high-budget films. Brad Pitt is an award-winning actor and producer, recognized as one of the highest-paid actors in the world. The 61-year-old consistently earns a minimum of $20 million for major film releases.
Additionally, he co-founded Plan B Entertainment with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston in November 2001. Pitt bought out Aniston's share following their divorce in 2005. Over the years, his production company has earned huge amounts by producing blockbusters like The Departed, Moonlight, 12 Years A Slave, Moneyball, The Assassination of Jesse James, Killing Them Softly, Ad Astra, and The Big Short.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Plan B has produced over $3 billion in global box office revenue on a $1 billion total production budget. To date, the company's most successful movie is World War Z, which has earned $530 million globally.
On the other hand, Angelina Jolie first gained prominence with her role in films like Hackers, Girl, Interrupted, and Gia. Over the years, she has evolved into one of the most acclaimed stars and has often been the highest-paid actress in the world. During the peak of her career, she reportedly charged nearly $20 million per film, earning over $120 million from films alone between 2001 and 2011.
Moreover, Jolie was the second-highest-paid actress between August 2017 and August 2018, earning over $28 million in salary and endorsements.
Despite the lucrative income, Jolie claimed to be cash-strapped and sought financial support from Brad Pitt in August 2018. According to court records, Pitt had even given her $8 million as a down payment for her Cecil B. DeMille mansion, worth $25 million.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reach divorce deal following eight-year legal battle
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly reached a divorce settlement after an eight-year-long legal battle. The Lara Croft actress filed for divorce in 2016, citing "irreconcilable differences" in their relationship.
During the court proceedings, Angelina Jolie accused her estranged husband of being physically abusive toward her and two children on a private jet that year. Jolie's lawyers claimed that Pitt had grabbed and pushed his then-wife during an altercation. However, Brad Pitt denied the allegations, and no charges were filed following a police investigation.
Although the terms of the final divorce settlement haven't been divulged, Angelina Jolie's lawyer stated that the actress had been focusing on "finding peace and healing for their family" since the start of the legal proceedings.
"This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over," the lawyer said.
In June 2024, their daughter submitted a petition to a Los Angeles court to drop 'Pitt' from her name. She was reportedly followed by two more of their children making the same request. In 2021, Brad Pitt was awarded joint custody of his children after a long-drawn court battle over living arrangements.
