Today we’re talking about Brad Pitt. He’s more than just a pretty face, and he’s got the business and real estate portfolio to prove it. We’ll talk about how much this Ocean’s Eleven’s star’s blockbusters have made, his love of art and his own sculpting works, the latest on his Plan B production company and what’s next after he sold a large stake in the company, and his real estate portfolio which includes the sprawling Chateau Miraval winery in the South of France.

Brad Pitt's movies have earned a total of $5,079,590,654 Billion dollars worldwide.

If that whole acting thing doesn’t work out Brad Pitt could always fall back on his Plan B Entertainment company. Started in 2001 with then-wife Jennifer Aniston and movie producer Brad Gray, Brad Pitt invested his own money into the production venture. When he and Aniston parted ways, Brad Pitt kept Plan B in the divorce.

It’s great that Brad Pitt has diversified beyond acting, but did you know he’s also an artist and a creative at heart. His love of art led him to purchase 3 Los Angeles art studios from his British art sculptor friend Thomas Houseago in a rundown industrial-turned-hipster part of the Frogtown neighborhood. He bought the first two side-by-side studios for $4,095,000 in 2016, and then in 2021 he bought a vintage manufacturing building in a separate deal for $2,933,500.

This brings us to the crown jewel of Brad Pitt’s real estate empire, the sprawling 1,200 plus acre Chateau Miraval winery in Correns, France. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie first leased the centuries-old French vineyard in 2008, before deciding to purchase the estate and make it their family home in 2012 for an estimated $60 million. Even though they reportedly split the bill for the property 60/40, with Brad Pitt paying the larger share, he gave Angelina Jolie an additional 10% equity as a wedding gift to make them even partners, but he included a now controversial right of first refusal to purchase back Angelina Jolie’s shares in Chateau Miraval should they ever decide to divorce. At that point Chateau Miraval was owned 50/50 via Brad Pitt’s company Mondo Bongo, and Angelina Jolie’s company Nouvel.

Chateau Miraval’s villa, which some say is at least as old as the mid-thirteenth century, is its own small city. Surprisingly, the main house is relatively modest in style, but it is definitely not lacking in substance, sporting 35 bedrooms, 2 gyms, a billiards room, a mini-movie theater, an indoor pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. Surrounded by beautiful woodlands and a moat, the outdoor property is a real stunner with extensive gardens, 20 fountains, ancient aqueducts, more outdoor swimming pools, a private pond, an olive grove planted among winding stone terraces, and the Roman-style chapel where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie secretly married on August 14, 2014.

Then there’s the vineyard. The vineyard had already been a successful wine producing money-maker when they bought Chateau Miraval, which has been the pride of Tom Bove, the American businessman who had bought the property in the 1990’s and went on to make it one of France’s top organic wine producers. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wanted to carry on with Chateau Miraval’s history of winemaking, and so in 2013 they teamed up with Rhone Valley winery Chateau Beaucastel to launch their own Miraval Wines brand.
