Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has revealed he isn't just an award winning actor, but also a savvy real estate mogul too with a property portfolio worth $72million (£57million).
The actor's collection of property spans across Los Angeles including Beverly Hills, New Orleans and even Europe, and earned the actor a cool $31million (£24million) last year in profits. The extent of Brad's real estate success has also been discussed as his divorce from ex wife Angelina Jolie gets underway, with details of Brad's impressive asset portfolio being widely scrutinised. The actor has been buying property and investing in real estate since 1994, and in nearly three decades has seen a huge profit from his portfolio.
One of the most notable wins for The Fight Club actor came when he sold his family compound last year. Initially bought for $1.7million (£1.3million) over 30 years ago, it made a profit of $31.3million (£24.7million) when it sold for a whopping $33million (£26million). The property boasted a skate park, secret cave and three swimming pools, and was where Brad and Angelina settled down with their family including their six children. The couple wed in 2016, but split just two years later.

The deal reportedly stalled however when Brad tried to insert an NDA that would prevent his former partner from publicly talking about their infamous argument in front of their kids on a private jet in 2016, which is believed to have been the catalyst for their split. However it's been argued that it was Angelina insistent on the NDA, before eventually backing out of the deal.
As divorce proceedings continue, it's emerged that Angelina sold her half to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, in a move that has reportedly surprised Brad. Last year Brad's impressive property portfolio earned him over $30million (£23million), and was second only to fellow actor Mark Wahlberg in Hollywood for celebrity real estate investors.
