Angelina Jolie is splitting from Brad Pitt after 12 years together. The couple affectionately known as Brangelina have huge individual net worth estimates due to their successful acting careers.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie amassed a net worth of about $400 million, according to Forbes and their divorce will lead to a complicated division of assets. The publication also states that Brad Pitt’s earning power is mostly responsible for their combined net worth:

“The couple have six children together – and more than half a billion dollars worth in cumulative earnings. Since their marriage in 2014, the duo have earned a combined $117.5 million before taxes and fees, per FORBES estimates. Pitt made the bulk of that cash, with some $76.5 million banked –nearly double Jolie’s takehome in that period.”

Brad Pitt has a successful film entertainment company Plan B that produced highly successful films such as The Big Short, 12 Years a Slave, Eat Pray Love, World War Z, and Selma.

Brad Pitt has a net worth of $240 million, while Angelina Jolie has a net worth of $160 million. Some estimates suggest that Angelina Jolie’s net worth is $185 million

Despite being in a relationship for about 12 years, the couple have only been married since 2014. Therefore, they have legally made income as a couple for two tax years.

According to the divorce filing, Angelina Jolie is not asking for spousal support, and she wants full custody of their six children. Pitt is going to fight for joint custody in a divorce that might get ugly.

Some reports of an affair with Marion Cotillard are reportedly false. The actress who co-stars with Brad Pitt in Allied has issued a statement denying any rumors of an affair and revealed that she is pregnant with a child with her husband.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were high net worth individuals when they began dating and had a prenuptial agreement, according to Radar Online:

“According to their agreement, should they part ways, each will leave with the millions they brought into the union on their own, while anything they earn as a married couple would be funneled into a trust for their children, where the cash would be evenly divided six ways.”

The couple reportedly bought and own several properties around the world. While it is likely that their post-divorce agreement will have something set in place, California community property laws, splits everything 50/50, whether the properties are sold or not.

Brad Pitt is currently facing allegations of abuse, according to TMZ:

“Sources familiar with the situation tell us, Brad, Angelina and their kids were on a flight last Wednesday when he allegedly got wasted on the private jet. He allegedly went wild, screaming and getting physical with the kids.

“We’re told the plane landed at an airport around 8 PM, and witnesses say Pitt continued his rant on the tarmac, and even tried leaving in one of the fuel trucks.”

Brad Pitt has spoken openly about his alcohol and weed use in the past. The Troy actor said he stopped when he started his family with Angelina Jolie.

With their net worth in the millions, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt started the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. This is unlikely to be an issue in the divorce, and Jolie has stated that her son Maddox will likely take over operations when he gets older.

Although Brad Pitt is wealthier, their net worth is individually in a similar range. The main issue in the divorce is likely going to be about custody of their children.

The notoriously private couple rarely give interviews about their family life and have been subject to divorce rumors throughout the year.

The couple appeared in a film together By The Sea, which Angelina Jolie directed. Jolie commented at the time that there were able to make a film about a troubled couple because their marriage was so strong.

There will be speculation as to what went wrong in their marriage. However, at this point is it not clear what happened.

Being high-net worth individuals, do you think money will be become an issue in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce?
