Being Brangelina Isn't Cheap

Filed under: Brad Pitt > Angelina Jolie

brannnnge222__opt.jpg

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their kids are like a traveling pack of gypsies. They're never in one spot for too long and have been all over the world these last two years.

For the time being, the family has set up shop in New York City, where they are staying at the posh Waldorf Towers.

Check this….

Brange are paying an astonishing $100,000 a month for their New York pad. And they don't even own it.

They're renting!

Brange's NY pad is 6,000 square feet and came fully furnished.

The "sprawling" apartment features five bedrooms plus a library that they have converted into a sixth, plus six baths and a huge gourmet kitchen.

You know, we're always curious. How does this work???

Does Brad pay for it all? Does he split the costs for their extravagant lifestyle with Ange? Do they split it 50/50? Does he pay more? Do they do it according to who makes more?

How do you even begin to have that conversation with someone????

      what happened to angie wanting to be a "regular" mom, when they bought that house in new orleans? you know, she was hanging out at parks and trying to befriend mom's at her kids' school. i guess the mothers of new orleans sent that vampire packing.

      They each make millions of dollars each year, though Pitt probably makes a little more because he's been making more movies than Jolie. Besides movies, Jolie also does television commercials (overseas) and fashion ads. The $100,000 rent on a Waldorf Astoria apartment is not exorbitant. Whether they split everything 50/50 is irrelevent. Who cares? What an exciting and purposeful life that whole family leads!

      That's so wasteful. $100,000 for rent is disgusting! it's a bit hypocritcal of them to be spending so much money to live in luxury. I can understand wanting to stay some place that is comfortable and that will accomdate them since they are a large family but this is completely unecessary.
      If this were anyone else you'd be talking about how wrong it is.

      That's why they need people LIKE YOU, PEREZ, to make them popular and "loved' so that they can make more money.

      They need good PR to maintain their popularity, so BP and AJ can ask 20 millions for each movie they make. YOU, and those poor kids are helping them to get those money.

      Don't be naive. Just continue worshiping your goddess. Didn't you call them "ROYAL COUPLE"? Didn't AJ say the money she made is "disgustingly" big on Larry King show?

      Let' s see…Perez put this thread because he knew the haters will say Brad and Angie are hypocrits!

      Come on folks! If you also scream at Bill Gates, Oprah, Bono, and numerous other famous philanthropists for living a life of luxury while helping others who are less fortunate, while you donate most of your income to help others instead of spending on yourself or your kids' luxury items, then I will accept your criticism of this couple.

      44

      Who really cares? Most of us are so busy working out our OWN expenses that we don't have time to worry about how some celebrity splits their cost of living.
      One thing that DOES concern me is wouldn't one expect adopted children to have more stability than that? Do these children have the opportunity to form lasting friendships & bonds with people outside their "circle" moving around so much? Kinda sad & selfish on Brange's part to me.

      45

      Re: leslieRe: leslie – That's not the point. The point is that these two rightous assholes judge the way that others live and claim to live altruistic lives when in reality they are being just as wasteful as the people that they supposedly don't approve of. It's great that they donate money. It's great that they bring attention to issues but take a hard look at their other actions. Spending this kind of money on a hotel is a complete waste and goes against everything that they supposedly stand for. I don't donate a 1/3 of my money to charity because I can't afford to (like most can't) but I also don't spend an obscene amount of money on things that are wasteful. Also, donating money for people who have loads of it is a tax write off. They have it to spare and need to get rid of it somehow. If they were ONLY doing it for the right reasons there wouldn't be a camera crew around everytime they did something "good".

      Say what you want about them but they do much more then most celebrities, with possibly the only exception of Oprah. They can spend whatever money they have earned whatever way they want, that is no one's business. It is not thier fault that Hollywood is willing to pay actors 20 million a movie, believe me if I was offered that money I would take it in a heart beat. They give enough of thier money and time to the causes they believe in, they deserve to enjoy thier good fortune anyway they want.

      What I want to know is WHAT is up with Brad in this picture? He looks so unhealthy. He looks pale and thin. I know … Angilina ia REALLY a vampire and she is sucking all of the life force put of him. He looked so healthy when he was with Jennifer. He was so hot. Now he looks warn out. I dont think he would stay with her if it werent for the children. She seems exhausting.

    51. attractive nuisance says – reply to this


      51

      Perez, I have been wondering about that too. I think they probably determine which one of them makes what percentage of their combined total income and then split the bills accordingly. Say he makes 70% and she makes 30% of their total 1 billion dollar annual income, so he pays $70,000 and she pays $30,000 of the $100,000 monthly rent on their pricey NY love nest. But in reality they probably just tell their money people to take care of fairly dividing their living costs so they don't have to contaminate their relationship with talks about the budget. The more bewildering thought to me is how they decide where to travel at any given moment. Do they just wake up in the morning and throw darts at a map of the world?

      It isn't hypocritical for someone to spend part of what they earn on themselves and for their family. It is quoted somewhere that Angelina balances their checkbook, so most likely they have a shared account…amongst other things.

      Since Angelina started that that whole nightmare CARAVAN Family.. she ought to pay all travel costs! It is her constant need to BE ON THE RUN…

      TAKE HER CHILDREN AWAY FROM HER! If she were puling this crap solo, there would certainly be cries.. Britney=like, of claiming that this peripatetic lifestyle was damaging to her children! Yet, because BRAD BOYTOY PITT is going along for the ride (does the guy ever look happy, anyway - HE IS NOT), no one points out what these children are put through!
      They put their poor kids through Britney=Style BS everyday - very likely worse - it is an open secret how crazy Angelina still is…DO NOT support these people! Take their children away!

      They probably don't pay for it at all. Since they're in town while Brad is filming "Burn After Reading," I'm sure the production company is paying for it. Moot point.

      64

      This one's easy - whoever gets the write-off pays the rent. Brad is working in New York; chances are he negotiated a massive living allowance in his contract, but anything out-of-pocket is a "professional expense" and a tax write-off. Celebrities have the best tax accountants in the world. 100% of their fabulous lifestyle is written off, This is why they are all liberals and don't care how high taxes are…all their luxuries come from pre-tax dollars.

      They want to keep their FAMILY together and both make enough money to do that and live in style while in NY. With Nannies and 4 children, that is not so large when you also think about no yard for the kids to play in. That's why you see them out and about so much with the children. At least one of them and sometimes both take the kids to school and They or both take them shopping for things for the CHILDREN. Nannies just seem to help out when needed but the quality time for development for the children is done by Brad and Angelina themselves. A lot of other celebrities would do well to learn from them.

      1.2 mill a year is chump change for them. Without even touching their principal that is easily paid by a small fraction of their interest rate returned on their assets.

      In new york 1.2 mill is cheap!!!!!!!!!!! a year for a modestly sized apartment. They are renting at a great discount for that size in NY

      It would also cover security, concierge, valet, and UTILITIES

      They are paying a great discount rate for the size in NY

      Alright here it is.
      Hmmm.. surprising that Perez's comment would make such a fuss. the paranoid people obsessed with this families downfall are having tantrums because they got this apartment. let me brake it down this way….
      1. NY is fucking expensive, this amount is not as crazy as you think for celebrities
      2. They donate money all the fucking time, recently for New Orleans.
      3. Its funny you guys expect them to live in a shack, if they don't then …yet again.. you scream hypocrites.
      4. Oprah donates too but she spends millions on shit for just one person, hello this is a family!
      5. Their kids look happy all the time, so why do you judge on what would be best for them?

      Bring better arguments. But you haters debatable skills are surely progressing, you moved faway rom just calling her a slut/bitch/homewrecker a couple few thousand times, very proud of your progress, great job!

      Well, they are probably declared "domestic partners." They are not married yet, live in the same dwelling, have children, etc.
      A lot of insurance companies are starting to allow this. You are seeing more same sex partnerships and, more people are not for the marriage concept anymore.
      As far as finances go. None of my or anyone's business. One would assume that they probably share a bank account as well as hold personal accounts of their own.
      They seem level-headed enough to figure that out.

      You know what Perez? I too have wondered how celebrity couples pay for things. How does Ang & Pitt pay for their family love nest? Who pays for the kid's clothes? Who pays for the childcare and family vacations? Is there an 'I got the next bill' agreement betwixt the two of them? Who makes more money? Ang does have an Oscar. Enquiring minds want to know.

      Re: leslie
      Let's stop this legend of the 1/3 of her income given to charity.
      According to Forbes, the earnings of Ms Jolie between june 2006 and june 2007 are estimated at 20 millions $, and for Mr Pitt it's 35 millions $.
      According to givingback.org, the amount donated to charity in 2006 by Jolie and Pitt combined (read combined) is 2,415,000 $.
      Well, it seems quite far from 1/3 to me, it's not even 1/20, and yes it's less than the money I give in % .Maybe arithmetic is not your strong art.

      And yes, the total given by folks like Oprah Winfrey or Tiger Woods, to name only these ones, is a bigger percentage than the one given by the holy couple.

      If we are not the one paying for it, we need to not even comment on this issue. Whatever they do with their money is non of our business. It's not a waste of money, they are not renting just for the two of them, they actually need the space for the children, wouldn't you want all the space and comfort for your kids? As far as who pays, don't you think Brad and Angie already talked about this matter before they even started this whole thing. Also, if Brad was eager and willing to adopt the kids, money shouldn't be an issue. They are not like other celebrities who dish out tons of money for material things just to show of. Those who state that the couples charity is just publicity, who would be insane to give millions to get publicity, this couple do not actually need publicity, it's not their fault that their being hunted by paparazis.

      The studio is paying for their apartment since Brad is filming BAR. The last time they were there, Angie was the one filming TGS. They also stayed in the same WAldorf Tower, but not sure if its the same size.

      Re: wayy too thin – I think I remember her stating that she was breast feeding her baby. If she doesn't take in enough calories, her weight could plummet.
      Who really knows anyway.

      The Arrangement is He does what ever the fuck she says no questions asked. Angie Wears the pants in the relationship, and Brad is the domestic one. Thats why they're not married, because she doesn't want to be. Its awesome he's her bitch.

      I am sorry your mother exposed you to all the signs of depression and failure, but i am sure counseling would do you good. lol, I do not need acknowledgment, I just find it pathetic people like you who post they don't care about a topic yet still post lengthy explanations of why they don't care. you are just as annoying as the freaks who post first all the time. but this was a fun chat, getting you all rilled up!
