The Rise of Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is not only an actor. He’s also a producer with $300 million net worth to his name.

So, how does he acquire this? Well, aside from being one of the most famous actors, not to mention one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world, earning $20 million for a single motion picture is just a piece of cake for him.

He started in the late ‘80s, doing minor roles and guest appearances in different movies until he gained notoriety when he did a supporting role for Thelma & Louise in the early ‘90s. From one successful project to another, he did A River Runs Through It in 1992 and the critically-acclaimed Se7en in 1995.

His incredible dedication to his work had paid off and his career took off. He did several successful movies, like Ocean’s Eleven, Fight Club, World War Z and more.

After they divorced in 2016, the award-winning actor revealed they had a mutual understanding that no one would sell their shares without the other’s consent. Now, Wine Spectator reported the actress sold her stake to Tenute del Mondo without her ex-husband’s knowledge.

Tenute del Mondo is a division of the vodka company Stoli Group, owned by the Russian businessman Yuri Shefler. As the château includes a mansion and extensive vineyards, this only means the “sale deprives Brad Pitt of his right to enjoy his private home and to oversee the business he developed from scratch.”

The lawsuit claims Angelina Jolie intended to cause “gratuitous harm” to Brad Pitt and “undermine his investment” that’s why he sold her share.
