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????

    This makes me sick because they talk so much about charity but they could be giving half that to a charity if they just rented a normal place. They do not NEED to stay someplace that cost that much a month.

    they are so fake.

    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.

    What a waste of $$$$ they could be donating. Those poor kids living in a hotel, sorry freaks but to say it is ok is denial. Kids need structure, their beds and security. What kind of back yard can you have when you live in a hotel. What age you think Z will be in rehab?? and having her boyfriend moving in with her 14 like Angie or younger?

  31. BIG DEAL says – reply to this
    31

    Oh yeah and they are parents of the year…wonder how those kids are with getting tugged all over the place and without a stable place to live. Wonder how they will turn out…and people think Britney is bad and Angelina is Mother Teresa. WHAT A LAUGH…talk about double standards.

    with that rent they are going to go bankrupt soon, they are paying 1,2 million a year for an apprtment that the don´t own! That´s just bad economics!

  36. That's why they need you PEREZ to promote them! says – reply to this
    36

    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?

    that's not really a ridiculous amount of money for 6,000 sq feet in what is likely an amazing location in NYC…

    and yes, they should donate all of their money to charity and live in a shitty apartment, because I'm sure that's the first thing all of you would do. you bitter, impoverished, judgmental assholes.

    They both donate 1/3 of their income to charity. How much do you donate of your total income?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Angelina on the other hand needs to EAT. please.

    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.

    the stuidio/production co. pays for everything and writes it off as expenses.

  64. Snoozer says – reply to this
    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.

    Your intelligence really astonishes me, how so? Let me explain. By posting your comment to a “public” blog, you are basically opening yourself up to criticism and judgment to what you say since people do take time to read others comments. Don’t get your panties in a twist just because someone called you out on your hypercritical dumb comment

    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

    in NY NY a single bedroom can run a mil rent a year, they are recieving a HUGE!! discount for NY based probably on publicity for the place and when they move out the rent can be increased to even higher rates because it can be advertised as "brad and ang lived here"
