Brad has received numerous nominations for the Academy Awards, winning an Oscar as a Producer for “12 Years a Slave,” which took home the Best Picture award in 2014. Furthermore, in 2020, he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Additionally, Brad Pitt is significantly involved in the entertainment industry as the co-founder of Plan B Entertainment, which he started with his then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, in the 1990s. Following their divorce, he acquired her share. Over time, Plan B has produced several critically acclaimed films, including “The Departed,” “Moonlight,” and “12 Years a Slave,” each winning the Best Picture Academy Award. Many films featuring Brad were 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 be discussed 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 journalism with an emphasis on advertising at the University of Missouri. During his college years, he developed a passion for acting and decided to relocate to Los Angeles. He left school just two weeks before graduation to move to California.

Success

Brad’s acting debut came in the form of a minor background role in the film “Hunk.” He also made a brief appearance in the background of Kevin Costner’s 1987 movie “No Way Out.”

Achieving fame began with his supporting role in “Thelma and Louise,” and in 1992, he starred in the Academy Award-winning film “A River Runs Through It.” His performance in the 1995 crime drama “Seven,” which grossed $327 million globally, earned him widespread acclaim. Following that, he received a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination for his role in “12 Monkeys.”

Brad Pitt’s commitment to his film roles has taken him to various extremes, including the Alps, boxing rings, and mastering startlingly accurate 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 star in and produce a Formula One racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski for Apple TV, for which he has secured a $30 million fee, a career high excluding any royalties.

Plan B

In November 2001, Plan B Entertainment was co-founded by Brad Pitt alongside his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, notable producer Brad Grey, and several other executives. Following their divorce, Brad bought out Jennifer’s stake in the company for an undisclosed sum. In October 2022, news surfaced that Plan B was working on selling a 60% share to the French media conglomerate Mediawan. The valuation of Plan B during this deal was reported to be $300 million, with payment comprising 50% cash and 50% stock in Mediawan. This means that at the transaction, Mediawan effectively paid $180 million—split into $90 million in cash and $90 million in stock—to acquire 60% of Plan B. Assuming Brad owned 60% of the company before, he might have taken the total amount for himself, ceasing his ownership of Plan B, or more likely sold approximately half of his personal shares, reaping a significant profit alongside his partners.

As of the current date, films produced by Plan B have accumulated a global box office revenue of $3 billion, with total production budgets amounting to $1 billion. “World War Z” stands as Plan B’s most successful feature based on worldwide box office receipts, grossing $530 million. Following closely is “Troy,” which garnered $483 million.

Some notable productions 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

In 1991, Brad received a mere $6,000 for his minor role in Thelma & Louise. Just two years later, he earned $500,000 for his work in Kalifornia, translating to just under $1 million when adjusted for inflation. Following this, he made $4 million for his role in Seven, and the subsequent year marked his first $10 million paycheck for Sleepers. He also received another $10 million for Seven Years in Tibet.

By the late 1990s, his base salary had risen to $17.5 million, as seen with Meet Joe Black, Fight Club, Spy Game, and Troy. He commanded $20 million for Mr. & Mrs. Smith and typically earned around $20 million for most leading roles where he did not serve as a producer. For Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he accepted a reduced salary of $10 million.

In 2001, while co-starring in Ocean’s Eleven, Brad agreed to a lower base salary of $10 million in return for a percentage of the backend profits. Ultimately, this decision led to him earning $30 million from the film.

For his portrayal in the upcoming 2025 Apple TV Formula One drama, “F1,” Pitt received a compensation of $30 million. In the 2024 Apple TV film “Wolfs,” his salary was $35 million.

As a producer, Pitt has amassed countless additional millions, potentially surpassing his earnings throughout his acting career.

The compound, located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, comprises five contiguous parcels spanning nearly two acres. The estate includes four homes, featuring a main house of 6,600 square feet, a swimming pool, and a skateboard park, among other amenities. Brad purchased his first parcel in 1994 for $1.7 million from actress Cassandra Peterson, known for her role as “Elvira.” Cassandra believed the house was haunted and remarked about the home:

“Something

A series of unusual events unfolded. I could hear footsteps above me on the ceiling. Clouds of smoke formed into what appeared to be a human figure, only to vanish moments later. A persistent black shadow hovered at the bottom of the pool, refusing to dissipate. However, after a priest conducted an exorcism at the residence and a Native American performed a sage cleansing, everything seemed to return to normal.“

This primary residence boasts six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, encompassing 7,000 square feet of living space. Below is an image of the estate taken in 1997, prior to the merging of several nearby properties into one cohesive estate:
