To break it down starting from his first few films. Brad Pitt earned $6000 for Thelma and Louise. He also earned a base salary of $4 million for Se7en, $10 million for Sleepers, and $20 million for Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
From starring in Ocean's Eleven he accepted a lower base salary in the hopes of getting a larger payout later if the movie does well. So, Brad cut his asking price to $10 million. While Brad accepted a $10 million base salary for movies like Inglorious Bastards and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it is bound to pay off more in the end.
Moonlight, Americanah, If Beale Street Could Talk, The Underground Railroad, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Selma, Twelve Years a Slave. What all these movies and shows have in common is that they're all produced or executive produced by Brad. He obtained full control of the Plan B production company after divorcing Jennifer Aniston. It's hard to say exactly how much Brad made from the projects he produced. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, "a newbie typically earns $250,000, while a hot actor making a foray into producing earns $500,000 to $750,000 with some backend.” Besides getting Plan B in the divorce, Brad also got $30 million, about $2 million more than Jen got.
When Brad and Angelina had Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, they sold the photo rights to People and Hello! for a total of $7.6 million. And when Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt were born, they sold the first pictures to the same magazines for $14 million.
According to Forbes, when Brad and Angelina filed for divorce in 2016, their joint income since their 2014 marriage is around $117.5 million.
