Brad Pitt, the Hollywood actor, is not only known for his acting skills but also for his success in real estate. With a property portfolio worth $72 million (£57 million), Pitt has earned a profit of $31 million (£24 million) from his properties last year. His collection spans across Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, New Orleans, and even Europe. The details of his impressive asset portfolio are being widely scrutinized as his divorce from Angelina Jolie unfolds. Pitt has been investing in real estate since 1994 and has seen substantial profits over nearly three decades.
One of Pitt's most notable real estate wins was when he sold his family compound for a profit of $31.
3 million (£24.7 million). The property, which was bought over 30 years ago for $1.7 million (£1.3 million), featured a skate park, secret cave, and three swimming pools. It was the home where Brad and Angelina settled down with their six children before their split.
In addition to this, Pitt has earned significant profits from other property investments, including three studios in Los Angeles' Frogtown neighborhood. His previous home with Jennifer Aniston was also worth $45 million (£35 million).
One property investment that has gained attention during the divorce proceedings is their French winery and vineyard, Chateau Miraval.
Purchased for $60 million (£47 million) in 2008, the estate has 35 rooms and covers 1000 acres. It is famous for its wine, particularly its rosé, and was the location of the couple's private wedding in 2016.
There were discussions regarding Brad purchasing Angelina's half of the business and property, but the deal reportedly stalled when Brad tried to include a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) preventing Angelina from discussing their infamous argument in front of their children on a private jet in 2016. It has been argued that Angelina was the one insisting on the NDA before eventually backing out of the deal.
