Brad Pitt Age 2026: How Old Is Brad Pitt? (62 in November)

Brad Pitt is 62 years old as of November 2026. He was born William Bradley Pitt on 18 December 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, which means he turns 63 on 18 December 2026 — just five weeks from now. The number still surprises people, because Pitt spent 2025 and 2026 doing the kind of work actors half his age chase: headlining F1, the biggest box-office hit of his career, filming a survival thriller in the Greek mountains, and stepping back into the role of Cliff Booth for Netflix.

This page answers the age question in full — his exact birthday, how old he was in each of his famous films, what he is doing at 62, who he is dating, and how his fortune stands in 2026. Celebrity Net Worth puts his net worth at about $400 million in 2026, built on three decades of top-tier acting fees, his Plan B production company, and a property portfolio put together over twenty years. Everything below is tied to a named source, and where reports disagree we say so rather than picking the tidier number.

Brad Pitt at a Glance: Quick Facts

How Old Is Brad Pitt in 2026?

Brad Pitt is 62 years old for almost all of 2026. He was born on 18 December 1963, so the simple subtraction — 2026 minus 1963 — gives 63, and that is the figure that trips people up. Because his birthday falls in the last two weeks of the year, he stays 62 until 18 December, then turns 63. Britannica’s Brad Pitt fact page, updated 26 October 2026, lists him as “Born December 18, 1963 (age 62)”.

The same late-December birthday explains why so many articles published in the first half of a year quietly get his age wrong. Any piece written in, say, June 2026 that calls him 63 is a year ahead. He turned 60 on 18 December 2023, 61 on 18 December 2024, and 62 on 18 December 2025. His 63rd birthday arrives on 18 December 2026, five days before his new film lands on Netflix.

For readers who want the short version: if you are reading this in November 2026, Brad Pitt is 62. If you are reading it after 18 December 2026, he is 63.

Brad Pitt’s Birthday and Birthplace

Brad Pitt was born William Bradley Pitt on 18 December 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Shawnee is a small city east of Oklahoma City, and Pitt spent only his earliest years there. The family moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he grew up — the place he still calls home in interviews, and the town where he went to Kickapoo High School.

His father, William Alvin Pitt, ran a trucking company. His mother, Jane Etta Pitt, worked as a school counsellor. Pitt is the eldest of three children; his younger brother Doug and younger sister Julie both stayed close to the family and to Springfield. His mother died on 5 August 2025 at the age of 84, a loss Pitt spoke about in a rare, open interview with Esquire published on 10 August 2026.

Pitt’s birthday has become a small annual news event of its own. Each December, the coverage notes the same thing: a man in his sixties who still looks a decade younger, still taking physically demanding roles, and still working at a pace that would tire a younger actor. The 2026 birthday carries an extra hook this year — his new film opens in IMAX on 25 November and arrives on Netflix on 23 December, so his 63rd birthday week doubles as a release week.

Early Life: Shawnee, Springfield and the Road to Los Angeles

Pitt grew up in Springfield, Missouri, in a Southern Baptist household, and by his own account he was an ordinary Midwestern kid — sports, school, church, and a plan to go into advertising. He enrolled at the University of Missouri in Columbia and studied journalism with an emphasis on advertising. He did well there, and he was two credits short of graduating when, in 1986, he decided the degree could wait and drove to Los Angeles instead.

The story of that drive has become part of Hollywood lore: Pitt arrived in Los Angeles with about $325 in his pocket, took whatever work he could find — driving a limousine, moving furniture, dressing up as a chicken to hand out flyers for a restaurant — and signed up for acting classes while he waited for a break. The $325 figure comes from Pitt’s own retellings of the move, and it has stuck because the distance between that arrival and where he stands now is so large.

His first screen work was small: an uncredited appearance in the 1987 film Hunk, a few episodes of the soap opera Dallas, and a short run on the sitcom Growing Pains. None of it paid much, and none of it hinted at what was coming. What it did give him was time on sets, a Screen Actors Guild card, and a working knowledge of how productions run — experience that would matter later, when he started producing his own films.

Career Rise: From Thelma & Louise to Fight Club

The break came in 1991. Pitt was 27 when Thelma & Louise opened, and his fifteen minutes as J.D., the charming drifter who robs the two heroines, turned him into a star overnight. Celebrity Net Worth records his fee for that role as $6,000 — a number that reads like a misprint next to his later paydays, and one that makes the arc of his career easy to measure. From $6,000 in 1991 to a reported $30 million for F1 in 2025, his upfront fee rose roughly five-thousand-fold across 34 years.

The years after Thelma & Louise were a deliberate climb. A River Runs Through It (1992), directed by Robert Redford, gave him his first serious leading-man credit at 28. Kalifornia (1993) and True Romance (1993) showed he could play dark and strange. Then came the run that made him a fixture: Interview with the Vampire (1994), where he starred alongside Tom Cruise, Legends of the Fall (1994), and Se7en (1995), the David Fincher thriller that paid him a reported $4 million and proved he could carry a grim, adult drama. Our full Brad Pitt biography covers this rise in detail, film by film.

Seven Years in Tibet (1997) and Meet Joe Black (1998) kept him in the top tier, but the film that defined his thirties was Fight Club (1999), again with Fincher. Pitt was 35 when it opened. The film flopped on release and then became one of the most quoted and rewatched films of its era — a pattern that would repeat across his career, where the work that lasts is not always the work that opens biggest.

The 2000s made him a global box-office draw. Ocean’s Eleven (2001) paid him a reported $10 million and launched a franchise. Troy (2004) put him at the head of a sword-and-sandals epic at 40. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) paid a reported $20 million and, off screen, began the relationship with Angelina Jolie that would dominate tabloid coverage for the next decade. Babel (2006), The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) — in which he played a man who ages backwards — showed a star willing to spend his drawing power on strange, ambitious films. Inglourious Basterds (2009) reunited him with Quentin Tarantino, and Moneyball (2011) earned him an Oscar nomination as both actor and producer.

His fifties were, by most measures, his strongest decade. World War Z (2013) became his biggest hit to that point. 12 Years a Slave (2013), which he produced through Plan B, won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The Big Short (2015) and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) followed, the latter winning him his first acting Oscar — Best Supporting Actor — at 56. He entered his sixties with the industry’s respect, a production company with a shelf of prestige credits, and a fee that had never been higher.

Brad Pitt’s Age in His Biggest Films

Because Pitt’s birthday falls on 18 December, his age in any given film depends on whether the film opened before or after that date in its release year. The table below uses the release date of each film, so the ages are exact rather than guessed from the year alone.

The pattern in that table is the story of this page in miniature. Pitt was 27 when Hollywood noticed him, 35 when he made Fight Club, 41 when he became the biggest tabloid story on earth, 55 when he won his acting Oscar, and 61 when he delivered the biggest box-office hit of his life. Very few leading men have a career that peaks in their sixties. Pitt’s is doing exactly that.

F1, Wolfs and the 2025 Paydays

If there is one number that explains why Pitt’s age keeps making headlines, it is the F1 payday. Celebrity Net Worth reports that Pitt earned a $30 million upfront salary for the 2025 Apple racing film, in which he played veteran Formula One driver Sonny Hayes. At the time it was the largest upfront fee of his career. The film went on to gross more than $630 million worldwide, passing World War Z to become the highest-grossing film of Pitt’s career as a leading actor, and Variety reported in September 2025 that it generated about $34 million in theatrical profit for Apple.

The $30 million did not stay his record for long. Celebrity Net Worth also reports that Apple paid him $35 million a few months later to co-star with George Clooney in Wolfs, the 2024 crime caper — and some 2026 reports put his fee for the Netflix Cliff Booth sequel higher still, at a reported $40 million, though that figure is not confirmed by the major trades and should be read as reported rather than settled. What is settled is the direction of travel: his fees rose through his late fifties and into his sixties, the opposite of the usual Hollywood arc, where a leading man’s quote falls as he ages.

The earlier paydays put the late-career jump in context. Celebrity Net Worth’s salary table lists $4 million for Se7en in 1995, $10 million for Ocean’s Eleven in 2001, $20 million for Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, and about $25 million plus backend for World War Z in 2013. The same source puts his total named film pay at roughly $269.5 million across his career — gross pay before tax, agents’ fees and costs, not a bank balance, and not to be added to the Plan B money below. The point is the shape of the curve: a slow, steady climb for thirty years, then a sharp rise after 60, driven by streamers willing to pay a premium for a star who still opens films.

Brad Pitt’s Net Worth in 2026

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Brad Pitt’s net worth at $400 million in 2026. That is the anchor figure for this page: a single-source estimate from the outlet that tracks his pay most closely, dated to 2026, and consistent with the reporting of other outlets covering the same period. Zoom TV’s October 2026 profile of Pitt’s finances cites the same Celebrity Net Worth figure, and no major outlet publishes a rival total — Forbes, for instance, lists no competing estimate, because Pitt sits well outside its billionaire lists.

For a fuller picture of how that $400 million is built, our sister site’s Brad Pitt net worth breakdown on GuideNetWorth walks through the same estimate from the money side — film pay, the Plan B stake, and property — while this page stays focused on his age and career. The two pieces cover the same man from different angles, which is the point of the pairing.

Three things are worth saying plainly about the number. First, it is an estimate, not an audited balance sheet. Pitt has never published his accounts, and no reporter has seen them. Second, it counts film pay, his Plan B stake, property and other assets together, and it is net of the costs of a very expensive life — taxes on nine-figure gross earnings, agent and manager fees, and the running costs of large estates. Third, it has been stable rather than soaring: the figure has sat around $400 million in published estimates for several years, because the new paydays of 2024 and 2025 are offset by the divorce settlement, the legal costs of the Miraval dispute, and the simple fact that a $30 million fee is gross, not net.

Readers sometimes ask why a man who has earned close to $270 million in named film salaries alone is “only” worth $400 million. The answer is the gap between gross pay and kept wealth. Film salaries are paid before tax, before a 10 percent agent’s fee and a manager’s fee, and before the cost of the houses, staff, security and travel that a career at that level demands. Pitt’s fortune is large because he kept earning at the top for thirty years, not because any single film made him rich. The $400 million is best read as a reasonable approximation of that long, steady accumulation — not a precise number, and not a bank balance.

Plan B Entertainment and the Business Behind the Fortune

The second pillar of Pitt’s wealth is not acting at all. He co-founded Plan B Entertainment in 2001 with Brad Grey and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston, and over two decades the company became one of the most respected production houses in Hollywood. Its credits include 12 Years a Slave, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2014, Moonlight, which won Best Picture in 2017, The Big Short, Selma, If Beale Street Could Talk, Minari, Women Talking, and Nickel Boys. Pitt’s own starring films — Moneyball, World War Z, F1 — were also Plan B productions, which means he earned twice on them: once as the actor, once as the producer.

In December 2022, Plan B sold a majority stake to Mediawan, the French media group. Reports at the time put the value of the deal at more than $300 million, though the exact terms were never disclosed and the figure should be read as reported rather than confirmed. Pitt stayed on with the company after the sale, and Plan B has kept producing at the same pace since — The Riders, the film Pitt shot in Greece in early 2026, is a Plan B production, as is the Cliff Booth sequel.

The Plan B story matters for an age article because it explains how Pitt’s career survived the moment when most leading men fade. A star who only acts is at the mercy of casting directors. A star who also produces can build his own vehicles, pick his own directors, and keep working on his own terms. Pitt started Plan B at 37, and by 62 it had become the engine of his career — the reason he could headline F1 at 61 and walk straight into a Fincher film at 62.

Homes, Cars and Investments

Pitt’s property portfolio has been assembled over twenty-five years, and it is one of the quieter parts of his fortune. His best-known home is the Los Feliz compound in Los Angeles, built up lot by lot since the mid-1990s into a multi-acre estate where he has lived for most of his adult life. He also owns property in Santa Barbara, California, and has held homes in New Orleans — where he founded the Make It Right foundation after Hurricane Katrina, building affordable homes in the Lower Ninth Ward — and in the Hollywood Hills.

The most famous property is Château Miraval, the 1,000-acre estate in Provence, France, which he bought with Angelina Jolie in 2008 and turned into a working winery. Miraval’s rosé became a genuine commercial success, winning awards and selling in volume, and the estate is now at the centre of the legal dispute covered below. Pitt also owns a home in the south of France beyond Miraval, and has been reported to keep a residence in Greece, where he spent much of 2026 filming.

On cars, Pitt is a known collector with a taste for the unusual: vintage motorcycles, classic sports cars, and a Tesla among the modern entries. The collection is a hobby rather than an investment strategy, and no reliable public valuation of it exists, so we do not put a number on it here. The same goes for his art collection, which has been reported on in passing but never itemised in public. What can be said with confidence is that property, not cars or art, is the real estate of his wealth outside film — and that his homes have generally been bought early, held long, and improved, which is the boring way fortunes in property are actually made.

One other investment deserves a line: Pitt has put money into architecture and design, including the Make It Right project and a long-standing interest in modernist design. None of it is a headline number. All of it fits the same pattern as Plan B — a star using his money to build things that last longer than a film’s opening weekend.

Personal Life in 2026: Ines de Ramon, Family and Loss

Pitt’s personal life in 2026 is quieter than it was a decade ago, and by most accounts happier. He has been dating Ines de Ramon, a jewellery executive, since late 2022. De Ramon is 33 years old — born in December 1992 — which makes the age gap between them 29 years, a number that generates a fresh round of headlines every time the couple appears together on a red carpet. They were photographed together at the San Sebastian Film Festival in October 2026, where Pitt was promoting Heart of the Beast, and reports in 2026 have described them as living together for part of the year, including time in Greece while Pitt filmed The Riders.

The relationship follows the end of his marriage to Angelina Jolie. Pitt and Jolie met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, married in France in August 2014, and separated in September 2016. They have six children together: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. The divorce was finalised in December 2024, after eight years of proceedings, with the terms kept private. The children are now mostly adults — Maddox, the eldest, was born in 2001 — and several have dropped the Pitt surname in public and professional use, a detail that has been widely reported and that Pitt has not discussed in public.

Before Jolie, Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005, a marriage that ended before he met Jolie and that remains one of the most covered celebrity divorces of its era. He was also engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow in the late 1990s. None of those relationships is the story of 2026; the story of 2026 is a man in his sixties, in a settled relationship, working at full pace, and talking — when he talks at all — about the work rather than the past.

The year also brought a loss. Pitt’s mother, Jane Etta Pitt, died on 5 August 2025 at the age of 84, according to ABC News. A year later, in the Esquire interview published on 10 August 2026, Pitt spoke about grief, about getting older, and about the actors of the generation before him — Redford, Hackman, Newman, Duvall — who shaped his idea of what a long career could look like. The interview was also strikingly open about his mental health: Pitt spoke about a period of suicidal thoughts and about returning to drinking after seven years of sobriety. It was the most personal interview he has given in years, and it landed in the same month that his 62nd year began to draw press attention ahead of the Cliff Booth release.

The Miraval Dispute and the Divorce Settlement

No honest account of Pitt’s sixties can skip the Miraval dispute, because it has run alongside everything else in his life since 2021. The facts, as reported by the major outlets, are these: Pitt and Jolie bought Château Miraval together in 2008. In 2021, Jolie sold her stake in the estate to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group. Pitt sued, arguing that the couple had agreed neither would sell without the other’s consent, and that the sale undermined the winery business they had built together. Jolie’s side has argued the sale was lawful and that Pitt’s suit is an attempt to control her. The case has produced years of filings, counter-filings and court rulings in the United States and France, and as of late 2026 it remains unresolved.

The dispute matters to the money story because Miraval is not a hobby vineyard. The estate’s rosé is a real business with real revenue, and control of it is worth a great deal to both sides. It also matters to the age story in a quieter way: the litigation has been running for five years, through Pitt’s late fifties and early sixties, and it has cost both sides heavily in legal fees. The divorce itself was finalised in December 2024, but Miraval is the thread that keeps the former couple in court.

We do not take a side here, and we do not repeat the more heated claims made by either camp. Court filings are public, the case is ongoing, and the figures attached to it in press coverage are contested. What is fair to say is that the dispute is the largest unresolved financial matter in Pitt’s life, and that its outcome will shape the final shape of his fortune.

Brad Pitt’s Age Compared With His Peers

Pitt belongs to a generation of male stars born in the early 1960s and early 1970s who are now working through their fifties and sixties — and the comparison is kind to him. Tom Cruise, born 3 July 1962, is 64 in November 2026, a year and a half older than Pitt, and is still hanging off aeroplanes for the Mission: Impossible films. Leonardo DiCaprio, born 11 November 1974, turned 52 in November 2026 — eleven years Pitt’s junior — and remains his closest peer in prestige and pay. George Clooney, born 6 May 1961, is 65 and Pitt’s co-star in Wolfs. Sandra Bullock, born 26 July 1964, is 62 like Pitt, and shared the screen with him in The Lost City (2022), where Pitt’s cameo stole the film’s opening act.

What sets Pitt apart in that group is not his age but the shape of his career at his age. Cruise’s brand is physical spectacle. Clooney’s is direction and politics. DiCaprio’s is prestige drama with the biggest directors alive. Pitt’s is range: a racing film at 61, a Fincher sequel at 62, a producing slate that wins Best Picture, and a fee that keeps rising. Among the celebrity careers of his generation, his is the one that looks least like a victory lap and most like a second peak.

What Brad Pitt Is Doing at 62 in 2026

Pitt’s 2026 has been one of his busiest years in a decade. In February and March he filmed The Riders, a psychological thriller shot on location in Greece, in which he plays a man stranded in the wilderness with his dog after a plane crash. The production wrapped in March 2026 after about five weeks of filming. Later in the year he promoted Heart of the Beast, David Ayer’s survival film in which Pitt plays Special Forces officer James Belmont; Paramount has the film dated for 25 September 2026.

The headline project is The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. Netflix released a teaser trailer on 2 November 2026 and a full trailer on 7 November, with Pitt back as Cliff Booth, the stuntman he played in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — the role that won him his acting Oscar. The film is directed by David Fincher from a script by Quentin Tarantino, and it is set in 1977, a very different Hollywood from the 1969 of the original. It opens in IMAX theatres worldwide on 25 November 2026 for a two-week exclusive run, then arrives on Netflix on 23 December — five days after Pitt’s 63rd birthday.

There is also the question everyone asks about a 62-year-old leading man: how long can this go on? Pitt has answered it in his own way, in the Esquire interview and in his choices. He has said he wants every role now to contain something he has never done before, even something small. The roles he is choosing — a racing driver, a stranded survivalist, a stuntman in 1977 — all fit that rule. He is not playing younger men. He is playing men his age, or close to it, in stories that need a face with sixty years behind it.

What comes after Cliff Booth is not yet public. Plan B has a full slate, and Pitt’s name is attached to several projects in various stages of development. What is public is the pattern: a star who arrived in Los Angeles with $325, who was paid $6,000 for the role that made him famous, who won his Oscar at 56 and his biggest payday at 61, and who turns 63 in December 2026 with a new film in IMAX and another on the way. The age question has a simple answer — 62, turning 63 — and the career behind it is the reason anyone keeps asking.

Brad Pitt Age FAQs

Sources and How We Estimated

How we estimated: the headline age comes from Pitt’s birth date, 18 December 1963, as listed by Britannica (updated 26 October 2026) and confirmed across the 2026 reporting cited below. The net-worth figure is Celebrity Net Worth’s 2026 estimate of about $400 million; it is an estimate drawn from reported pay, deals and assets, not an audited figure, and other outlets either cite the same number or publish none. Film salaries are reported figures from Celebrity Net Worth and trade reporting, not confirmed contracts — where a figure is reported rather than settled, we say so. The Plan B sale value (reported at more than $300 million) and the $40 million Cliff Booth fee are reported figures whose exact terms were never disclosed. Estimates of a private person’s wealth will always differ from the private reality; what we publish is the best public picture, with the source named on every number that matters.
