Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt, born William Bradley Pitt on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, is one of the most iconic and bankable movie stars of his generation. Raised in Springfield, Missouri, Pitt moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s to pursue acting, taking odd jobs and studying with acting coach Roy London. His breakout role came in 1991 with a memorable supporting turn in “Thelma & Louise,” and he quickly rose to leading man status with films like “A River Runs Through It” (1992) and “Legends of the Fall” (1994).

Over the following decades, Pitt established himself as both a commercial powerhouse and a critically acclaimed actor. His filmography includes iconic roles in “Se7en” (1995), “Fight Club” (1999), “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001) and its sequels, “Troy” (2004), “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008), “Inglourious Basterds” (2009), “Moneyball” (2011), “The Big Short” (2015), and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (2019). He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and the Academy Award for Best Picture as a producer of “12 Years a Slave” (2013).

As a producer, Pitt co-founded Plan B Entertainment, which has become one of the most successful and respected production companies in Hollywood. Plan B has produced Academy Award-winning films including “12 Years a Slave,” “Moonlight,” “The Departed,” and “The Big Short.” The company’s success has been a major contributor to Pitt’s wealth beyond his acting salary.

With an estimated net worth of $400 million in 2026, Pitt’s wealth extends well beyond entertainment. He has significant real estate holdings, having owned properties around the world. He launched the skincare brand Le Domaine in 2022, and he owns a stake in Chateau Miraval, the French vineyard whose rose wine has become one of the most celebrated in the world. His combination of acting income, producing profits, business ventures, and smart investments has made him one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood history.
