Being Brangelina Isn't Cheap
Filed under: Brad Pitt > Angelina Jolie
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????
Re: manta – NO, that is the amount she PROMISED. She never went through with it. She's a low-life of the worst kind.
My bet is that for tax purposes, their accountable has set up multiple business entities and the shell company rents it, therefore the rent is deductible… and neither of them are actually "paying" for it. Don't they run a production company together?
Re: Brad & Angie Jolie-Pitt – They've only "made" one baby so far….they bought the rest. But they did "buy" pretty babies…..no mentally or physically challenged kids for brangelina. They wouldn't look as "good" as these "100% healthy" kids in all their arranged photo ops. Heaven forbid they should be like Mia Farrow, who actually does adopt children altruistically without thought as to how they might "look". Yes, appearances are VERY IMPORTANT for the brangelina family!

By the way,
you don't need to thank me for bringing excitement to your life today, maybe if your good we can do this tomorrow. oh sweetie, you need to stoop down to name calling, oh wow, like i couldnt of done that to you. I am a loser you say yet you are getting all prissy on a comment that you've been arguing with me about till 100 post later. What does that make you then Frany???
Re: JUST SAYING – bye bye. oh, and you didn't get me riled. you amused me with your obvious devotion to people who don't give a shit about you. read the other posts so you can get a good feeling for the general consensus regarding your beloved brangelina!!! have fum!
P.S. BAMPZS ARE PATHETIC!!!!!
I really like them, so I hope the studio is paying for this $$$hit and not them- otherwise it does make them seem a bit hyypocritical. I totally understand how expensive manhattan real estate is, and that they have a lot of kids- but they really only need 4 bedrooms: 1 for them (or 2 depending on whether they sleep togethr or not) 1 for the girls and 1 for the boys. Not sure if their staff lives with them or not- but regardless it seems a bit excessive.
Plus Brad is always talking about his love for modern architecture and green design and Angie's understated style really doesn't seem to fit the overly grand opulence of the W=A.
Not hating on them, because I really love them as a couple, but those are just my observations about it. But most likely the studio is footing the bill like I said.
Re: SASHA – That's right, "Sasha Chin". You would certainly know, since you are mentally challenged yourself. My guess is that you are "cosmetically challenged" as well. ;D
I LOVE BRAD & ANGELINA!!!
I LOVE BRAD & ANGELINA!!!
I LOVE BRAD & ANGELINA!!!
Re: Me – Repay your World War II debt and World War I debt to the United States. Europe is forever indebted to the brave Americans who fought aganist the entrenched Nazis in Europe. Never forget you would not be alive without Americans. Your European family in 1943 would have be pilled high in mass Nazi graves in consentration camps unless they were Nazis!
DUH! They pay for it like every other big actor does…they give the studio the bill!
I want to lick Brad's bottom lip.
The studio's paying, they are living there while he's making a movie. It is hypocrital tho, it's a case of 'do as i say, not as i do.'
Re: Just Saying – Yep, you are definitely a bampzs!!!! as you can see, there aren't many who share your opinions here. i know you're upset that jared hasn't posted pix of them in like ONE WHOLE DAY but that's no need to act out and froth at the mouth over it.

Alright.
This reply was a complete bore, lol i wasn't seeking attention, just entertainment. I got more what i asked for, a sensitive chick that doesn't know when to shut up, lol, what made you think i am a brangelina fan anyway? try keeping up with one argument, cause you can barely keep up with this one.
Ok Perez, this drives me nuts everytime you talk about Angelina and Brad… Angie is spelled with an I… NOT Ange!
Geeze, get it right!!! =)
what i always wonder about is why celebrity homes always have one more bathroom than bedrooms? like: 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms.
OMG! I love her dress!!!
Re: Ugly Sasha is Ugly Shasa – why are you so angry? because you know i speak the truth?
God bless those children. I mean, I'm sure this ultra deluxe Waldorf suite comes with a romper room, right? And there are many other children, you know–peers, friends—with whom the Jolie Pitt kids can play? It's great that they all have the security of their own bed, their own room, their own toys all as they should be. Hell, Pax's (SANG'S) life was not rich in Saigon, but he had his own bed and friends. He knew his place in life, he was grounded, he had the security of a HOME.
These jerks think photo-op trips to FAO Schwartz compensate for the fact that they've hauled these kids around like so much Vuitton luggage? Take a peek at Shiloh's photos, side by side next to Suri Cruise. They are one month apart in age, years apart in development.
WAKE UP, PEREZ. Your idols are parental idiots, and those kids are going to grow up to hate them for all they were subjected to as children.

lolololol, you definitely give me a good laugh. Most of your argument aren't even debatable anymore, your just talking out of your ass now because I don't know what the fuck your saying. : p You love my attention, don't deny it. Dont take shit so seriously sweetheart in the end its just a blog .
Wealthy people, if they follow the advice of their financial advisors, never deplete their real value, they simply live on interest payments. If one's actual worth is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, then the total amount of interest and dividends constantly running off from all that wealth is in the stratosphere. Breaking down this rich gravy into monthly or weekly "paychecks", the amounts are so extravagant that a 100,000 dollar monthly rental simply looks like a reasonable percentage of one's monthly income to spend on rent, with lots and lots left over to do everything else you'd like to do. If the net worth does not decrease and only the earnings on net worth are spent, it's really a very nice walk in the park. First you have to get the hundreds of millions though, and how to do that? Hmm…
I do not understand the hypocrisy. They whine about various humanitarian crises in Africa, yet what they spend in a week could probably feed an African country for a year. So they expect poor bastards like us to cough it up?? WTF? How on earth can they justify what they say vs. what they do?
dont over use the new word in your vocab it's very unbecoming. (Caliente?!!? wtf?)
You greedy Americans live in luxury while Orphans starve & die on the streets ! it's disgusting !!!!!!!!!!! and Americans are ruining the planet with their private jets , SUVS and frivolou sway of life !
Do what I say Not as I do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks -
SKANKalina & pretty boy Brad
Re: Jen – Don't be such a naive bitch. They could pay a lot less and still be comfortable.
Re: francesca – Finally, someone with intelligence. Well said
Re: ellen – I could not have said it better myself. This just shows the real them, liers and hypocrites who think they are gods and we, the common people should worship them.
Re: leslie – Re: ellen – Lets see, Angie alone made at least 2 movies this year, so it is a minimum total of $40 million. 1/3 of that amount is 13.3 million dollars from the two movies alone, without including the commercials and other things that she does. Has she donated 13.3 million to charities, without including BP's income, this year? NOOOOO, SHE HAS NOT.. So please, for your own good and for the good of this country and its future, do not beleive everything these two assholes say. And yes, when i give 40 dollars to charities, it is much more than i can afford to give, while for them it is a piece of cake they are giving when they donate 100.000
Ok, may I just take a moment and laugh (and maybe vomit) at the outrageous irony of the title
"BEING BRANGELINA ISN'T CHEAP"
Umm…I believe that's exactly what women like her should be called…
1. Lived with her boyfriend at the age of 14 !!!!
2. History of extreme drug abuse
3. History of being a skin cutter
4. Barely graduated high school
5. Had sex with NUMEROUS individuals
6. Had a relationship with a man while he was still married
7. all before the age of 30
Sounds "CHEAP" to me.
So they are paying that much for an rental–don't they know how many people they could really help with that kind of money? Kinda hypocritical don't you think?
tax write off

Where the fuck are they supposed to live if they dont pay for something like that. They cant be around regular people.. The general public is nothing but jealous ignorant bitches. They need to stay as far away as they can from regular people. Just read these comments. All you losers are soooo dumb. Good god i hate the public. So ignorant. So blind. Such victims. Get the fuck outta here.

Re: leslie –
Cut that shit out already! Do you really believe these two donate 1/3 of their income to charity? It is made up bullshit that they feed to the press to make themselves look good.
EAT SOME FOOD! YOU LOOK LIKE A CRACK WHORE!!!
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”.
AMEN SISTER…..DA*N GIRL YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!
Gee…wonder how many of those poor little souls living over in the projects of NY could be fed/clothed for a year based on this?
The FOOLS are the ones that believe they do it "out of the goodness of their hearts" bawaahahahahahhahahahhaaha get a clue! joke is on you…as long as you're gonna inhale they're gonna blow that smoke up your a**
But again, we non-lovers must admit hey she's pretty and he's pretty so it's all okay…long as they look good right?!?!?!?!?!?
Not quite as outragous as it first seems
I think it you break it down it comes out to less than $500.00 a night per room
and that is the rate in a 4 **** NYC hotel
100k/month rent for these two is very reasonable and not at all difficult for them to afford. They make millions just off of the interest on the money they already have!
Angelina Jolie is not an America any more, she is from Somali land living a nomadic life, she is not normal if she was really a good mom she would keep all her kids in one place, they need friends, good neighbours and have a normal life as any other kid, Brangelina kids dont have that all they know is mom moving us from end of the world to another. When Angelina only had Maddox was she doing this all the time? No, she just like being in power taking other women's husbands, e.g her father, brother and the stolen Brad who was never meant to be. Jolie is an hypocriate of the the first order, she is the worst mom I would think of. This is not the best couple in Hollywood they love to fool people. Kids needs a structure, Brangelina have double standards, there is no stability in this family. My advise also Angelina start wearing long sleeved dresses those arms makes me want to vomit, they are too ugly. I wonder what Brad is doing with this Whore, Ang is a slut low life tatooed bitch. Get your life straight.
Re: Fitz –
sorry to correct your math skills but it DOES NOT come out to about $500/night
It is $3,571/night !!!
See, that's my problem with them…for all their philanthropy, they still live this exorbitant, prodigious lifestyle… It's inconsistent with Angelina's eating only slices of fruit because others are starving… It doesn't make sense… If you can't eat because another person cannot, how can you rent for 100K a month when bums are all around you on the streets in NY????? I think philanthropy is a form of escapism for Angie and Brad, well he's in punch-drunk love…
Re: Jenny –
LMAO….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH That dumb ass said $500 a night …AHHHHHHHHHHHHH that shit is tooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People, don't forget Brad's quest for environmental housing in NOLA, and the country as a whole. All the while they travel constantly in private gulf stream jets and use gas guzzling SUVs.
Talk about being Green Brad, come on think about the amount of gas, wood-probably not recycled, ect. used to build that monster of a hotel house. I do understand to some people renting seems like the socially councious thing to do b/c you aren't dealing with the whole property rights and excluding others deal, but you could at least rent something sustainable and not outrageous. There is no need to rent a place for that much regardless of whos paying. You may have the money but doesnt your heart want to be in a more sustainable and normal enviornment. Dont be such a hypocrticial RICH AMERICAN.
I bet Brad pays for everything!He makes millions per picture and you can tell he spoils Angie and the kids!They have the best life ever!Lucky Angelina!
Re: FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! –
You need to calm down, Angie. Us normal folks can't get to you.
He's there for a movie so neither are paying more than likely. Let the studio foot the bill. If they pay themselves, it will definitely be a tax write-off—at least partially.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL IDIOTIC RICH PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR MONEY, SO THEY SPEND 100 G A MONTH LIKE IT'S NOTHING! TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES CAUSE THEY ARE SOULLESS EMPTY ACTORS THEY DONATE TO CHARITY'S AND ADOPT AFRICAN CHILDREN, IT'S A BOOST FOR THEIR ENORMOUS EGO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Your readers know fuck-all about economics. Let's think children: if B is in town shooting a movie, and he makes $20 mil per movie, don't you think his agent/the studio would have negotiated the paltry $1 mil of living expenses into his contract?
interesting that they need 6 bedrooms. You would think Brad and Ang would share a bedroom and Pax and Mad would room together, and maybe Z and Shy would have a room each. Making there an extra bedroom or 2, but they had to convert a room to a bedroom?
Do Brad and Ang sleep in the same room?
Instead of Brangelina, they should be called Hypocritolina!! Angie thinks nothing about getting on her soap box to preach to the world about doing charity, but then lives so lavishly like this? Didn't Brad just make a statement in an interview about how he'd like to even up the wealth of the world? They are just too dumb for words!! Angelina's idea of saving the world is to take 2-3 kids and have them live like this, instead of donating to the entire village and helping them to survive on their own???? Dumb biatch
Oh, come on! Where do you want them to stay, at the HoJo Airport Inn? I bet they don't have diamond encrusted toilet seats and 14K gold fixtures, and that type of "blingity-bling!" They spread the wealth enough…although it WOULD be funny to see them bunkering down at the ol' HoJo's like us po' folks!
Re: peachy in nj –
Yeah, and didn't Brad say that they have a 9 ft wide bed that they all sleep in? So, why the need for 6 bedrooms?
I think its interesting that these people, who have seen the real poverty in the world, still choose to live such a ridiculously expensive lifestyle. Im not saying they have to live in tents, but come on, you preach to us about changing the world but you still sit on the fence and have a foot on both extremes.
I'm so sick of seeing these two. Please stop giving these hypocrites publicity. They do not deserve it.
Brangelina is FULL OF SHIT.
Soon this clan will be fucking each other, Maddox fucking Jolie, Zahara fucking the other brother and that is when it will be a real BRANGELINA CLAN. Angelina is under depression just compensating to have these kids out of guilt of being trash.
Angelina will fuck Maddax soonest. She is mad.
This place has top security because all the heads of state stay there when visiting the U.N. This family needs that level of security to keep the stalking paps and all the cameras away from their kids for at least when they are at home.
And really, $1M/year rent is not that much out of sync with what other actors pay for their Malibu beach house rentals.
The family gives away magnitudes more that that in charity each year, compared to so many other celebs who don't do that sort of charity and buy/build themselves $15Million mansions in LA.
I don't understand the whole fascination some people have for angelina. Does doing charity work wipe you clean of your past? Angelina has no class, does anyone recall a red carpet interview where she stated (or billybob did) that they had just had sex in the limo? The vile of blood? admitting "mental" issues? etc…
The comment someone stated earlier might not be far from the truth, the kids might end up kissing and making out with each other, again, does anyone remember her making out with her brother? I think angelina is a hypocrite, she had stated (after adopting pax) that she was going to dedicate herself to helping him assimilate to the usa, blah blah blah then she goes off to film a movie or something or the other.
She states that she wants to go live in cambodia or something, i think she should go live there. I think she is bluffing. I don't believe she could stay more than 2 years max. She is a media whore. She should go live there so we won't have to deal with this nonsense anymore. Pack up your kids, go live in cambodia, at least over there you will give your kids a STABLE environment. They will have a room and possibly develope friends. BTW, she had also stated in an interview that she didn't feel "close" to shiloh since she was born into privileged life. Well, aren't the other adopted kids also privileged? since his adoption, wasn't maddox sporting designer duds? Anyhow, this girl gets me crazy b/c it seems she is always contradicting herself or not aware her actions. Sorry for venting off like this, but I just don't get it. She needs to go live modestly in some remote place on this earth and give to charity without have a media crew by herside. The satisfaction comes from knowing you did something to change someones life not from making sure everyone knows what you did and publicizing it.
She looks HAMMERED in that picture! They crap money- paying for it is easy. But not very green, is it? More environmental hypocrites!
when you're that rich, you'd just pool your money together and not even talk of expenses and money.
just one joint account-they're his kids now too so it's not like she needs to spend more because it's her kids they need the extra bedrooms and nannys for
No problem.
You set up a corporation. You both pay equally into it–at least to start.
Then, you pay by company check, credit card, or with petty cash!
Eaaaasy.
pontification pair of fuckin twats u aint
never gonna change the world and " angie ! trying to resemble a fuckin etheopian doesn mean u feel their pain u skinny slut
she looks like julia roberts in this picture
Why don't you ASSHOLES give YOUR paychecks away to charity? We who have money, MADE it and have the RIGHT to spend it anyway WE want! How much money do THEY give to charity? You don't have a CLUE, do you? I give between $200,000.00-$300,000.00 a year away and no one knows who I am when I do. Yes, I lead a VERY good life but I WORKED for it. I see a bunch of jealous, minimum wage, trailer trash wanna-be's pissing on everything Brad & Angie have done. I'm HAPPY, are YOU?
Brad is working in New york right now?.that is why they rent the apt. It is better than staying in the hotel. The kids and Angie will be near by . That is why.
That is right Brad is working in NY they rent the apt because of it. Haters, This two involve in helping others . It is their money they only deserve to have the best .
I gotpost from the other tread
Hate tom cruise and those zenu nuts. Because they don't belive in helping others or involve in such things. They help and give money only and only to their clut church though they have millions.
Angelina is a hypocrit.
She tells us that we should be out in a different country helping the poor, while she lives in a fancy new york pad.
100,000 a month? when you know that money should be contributed elsewhere.
Maybe if she set a better example then I would be compelled to help out. She is only throwing out money. idiot.
I had the same question. Ill ask her if I run into her at Central Park.
It doesn't even matter when you have THAT much money. It really, really doesn't. They are so loaded that that is chump change to them. And it just keeps comin'.
BUT ALSO
You know BRAD is paying for it because Angelina has him PUSSY WHIPPED just like she does all the other guys. She is probably putting shit on his credit card and making him pay for EVERYTHING!!!
gee if they can afford that surely they can buy a good meal. and what happened to them being all for the world and all wouldnt it make sense to go camping and save the enviroment and give that money to people that need it like the people struggling in burma and i pity those kids they should be out having fun with other kids instead of globe trotting its really sad
And save Africa and New Orleans. Yeah. Who cares.

they're my neighbours, i have the appt above them and it costs like, 150,000 pm. mine is so much bigger.
a traveling pack of gypsies is RE-DUN-DANT
I wonder the same thing too!!!!! no one else will admit it….wondering who is paying for all those kids' keep!!!
they are rather dorky, aren't they??? soooo mia farrow.
by the way….i am pretty sure shilo doesnt even exist. she is one of those computer generated pictures of both brad and angie together!!!
Re: starstruck – Don't Madonna, Oprah, Bono, George Clooney, Bill Gates and countless other celebs who are humanitarian's live like this?
Re: Anne – Oprah, Bono, Leonardo Dicaprio, Georege Clooney, Bill Gates, live the same way and are humanitarian's, try again with the hyprocrite name calling.
Re: Mims – She actually has a home in Cambodia.
Re: Eat something –
FYI, I'm as skinny as she is and I eat like a normal person. Some people are just genetically thin!
Re: Jenny – You made this same rant on another blog. She let people know about drug use, you didn't catch her in clubs partying or being photographed using drugs. There is a huge epidemic of teens today and college women who are cutters, not out of the ordinary. Live in boyfriend she told that story as well, but since you mentioned, her mother didn't want her sneaking around like most young women do, not saying it was right, so she allowed the boyfriend to move in with them so she could moniter their relationship, but she didn't have any babies AND she graduated early from high school at age 16, attended NYU, and the Lees Strausberg Theater Institute. Name the numerous men. She was married most of her twenties and I've never heard of cheating, actually all of her ex's have nothing but good things to say about her. If you want to talk about cheating while in a relationship, that would maybe be Brad and definantly Jennifer. The reason being she was photographed showing public displays of affection while on a hotel balcony with Vince Vaughn well before she was divorced.
Perez, can you see how sick their life is? The poor kids dont have a fucking home, do you imagine being 3 or 4 and live in a private jet or a hotel apt? Nothing permanent, no friends to stablish a real relashionship. No toy to call your own. They don't even have a permanent bed for God's sake. Sorry to tell you, but your "humanitarian momy" it's full of shit. She is still a mental case and nobody in the world should give this women another child to adopt.
Re: COCO – Didn't Britney, Paris, Lindsey Lohan come from families that stayed in one place? Bad example Hon. Military kids have multiple residences, so what you're saying is not true, it's about up bringing.
…and how do they ever expect their children to form friendships with other children if they are constantly on the move?
Holy Fuckery!!
$100,000/month!!!
How the hell can they travel the world and see people living in shacks with no food and then WASTE money on this kind of decadent life. They seem so full of shit.
WHO CARES IM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THESE ACTORS SHOWING OFF THIER MONEY!!! MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL STOP GOING TO THE MOVIES ITS TIME TO STRIKE.WERE PAYING MORE AT THEATERS TO SUPPORT THEIR LIFESTYLES. THEY DONT NEED ALL THAT MONEY. WE DO!!!!
This Heavenly couple needs to feather a posh nest on East 52nd and the river or Fifth on the Park or really private Beekman Pl. Ahhh the Glamour. Downtown sucks it's all about up and EAST. START PACKING
so she apparently doesn't eat because she feels sorry for starving children but they'll pay $100,000 a month for an apartment? hmmm.
Do they really have to pay the rent? I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually GETTING paid to live there
I hate that rich people waste like this but how many of us can honestly say we wouldn't indulge every now and then if we had THAT much money.
Most rich people are evil, selfish, indulgent, arrogant, self-serving assholes; at
least they give back some of their wealth and time and can claim to have done some good deeds unlike most celebs who don't give shit.
HOW SICKENING, I AM ALMOST 50 YEARS OLD, AND CANT EVEN COME UP WITH $5000.00 FOR A CAR AND THEY SPEND $100,000.00 A NIGHT ON A MOTEL ROOM, I HAVE 2 WORK FOR A LIVING AND NEED ANOTHER JOB JUST TO EAT AND PAY BILLS, JUST MAKES ME SHAKE MY HEAD WHEN I TRY SO HARD AND STILL CANT MAKE IT, AND LOOK AT THE MONEY THEY THROW AWAY
what a waste of money!
When a person is really famous, they have worries that the average person cannot relate to. There is a constant threat of harm to them and their children. Kidnappings,overzealous fans,overzealous media, unbalanced folk who want to marry/kill/rape/maim you, etc. are all serious concerns for these people.
James Woods moved to a hotel because he discovered it was cheaper than paying for the staff he needed to live a somewhat normal life. The Pitt-Jolies have 6 people that need looking after,and 2 of them also work full-time. Living in a hotel that provides EVERYTHING they need to live a somewhat normal life is probably cheaper than making a family home as safe and private as The Waldorf.
As very wealthy people they have a different relationship towards money. It's like being a poor law student who drools over $50 and then casually leaves $50 as a tip 10 years later as a lawyer.
A poor villager living in Bangladesh probably thinks the $5 any one of us spent on a gourmet coffee the other day is excessive.
Welcome to global capitalism.
