Brad Pitt’s Design-Forward Real Estate Portfolio

Brad Pitt’s Design-Forward Real Estate Portfolio

Among Brad Pitt’s many accomplishments—seven Academy Award nominations, a successful wine label, the title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive—is his ability to invest in some truly trophy real estate. The Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor has spoken before about his affinity for all things architecture and interior design, telling Oprah Winfrey in 2004, “I love that architecture is this huge art piece you can be inside. I believe it lifts your soul and affects your mindset.” In late 2012 he collaborated on a collection with furniture-maker Frank Pollaro, and in 2020 he narrated a documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright. So it is no surprise that he has selected some impressive homes and made them even more so with his time, investment, and attention to detail.

Brad Pitt Home

2001

When Aniston and Pitt purchased their main marital home together, they opted for an impressive 11,173-square-foot Wallace Neff designed mansion. The couple spent three years renovating the French Normandy Revival-style residence, which was originally built in 1934 for actor Fredric March and his wife Florence Eldridge. Improvements included heated marble floors, a bar with wood floors from a 200-year-old French chateau, and a brand-new screening room. When the couple split in 2005, they put the property on the market and ultimately sold it for $28 million the following year.

Pitt then spent $8.4 million on a midcentury-modern bachelor pad in Malibu situated between Point Mugu State Park and the sea. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom dwelling featured three fireplaces, a tennis court, and access to a private cove, and measured 4,088 square feet. The architecture buff reportedly spent millions renovating the 1962 property before finally listing it in early 2009. Fellow real estate enthusiast Ellen DeGeneres snapped it up for $12 million in 2011, and flipped it for a $1 million profit a year later.

2006

The following year, Pitt and Jolie bought a property in New Orleans’s French Quarter as they focused on charity work in the city after Hurricane Katrina. (Pitt’s started a nonprofit called the Make It Right Foundation in 2007 to help rebuild housing in the area, though it was plagued with issues and controversy.) They paid $3.5 million for the brick, traditional-style 7,650-square-foot house, which was originally built in the 1830s and featured Venetian-plastered walls, custom marble mantles, and original crown moldings. The now-separated couple put it on the market and sold it a decade later for $4.9 million.

2007

Pitt and Jolie set down roots in New York City with the purchase of a residence at the famed Waldorf Astoria hotel. While it’s unknown how much they paid for the luxury unit, it’s rumored that the hotel held particular significance for them as one of the first places that they stayed together as a couple. It’s unclear whether or not Pitt or Jolie still own this home.
