I just read a newspaper story this morning saying that Brad Pitt has hired an Italian company to make him his own luxury yacht that comes with, get this, a helipad, speedboats, 300 square foot rooms and a submarine (!!) that can go down to a depth of 300 meters. How nuts is that? Can you imagine the birthday parties for their kids and their friends that want to take a ride on the sub?? How can Brad afford this? Is he worth $300 million from making all of his movies or is he investing his movie money??
I do not think he made 300 million for all the movies he did. He probably only made 20 million a movie in last few years. I do not think the production company he is partner in makes that much either. He owned it with Ex wife so she gets half and some other people get money also. 300 million he should help the poor out instead of building a boat like that. Remember how he tells people to help and so does angelina jolie well use that money to help the poor.
300 million...it is probably just a the "show room" pricetag. Alot of this high-priced stuff is given to celebs as an advertising and marketing piece for the companies involved.
Look at everyone bitching and boohooing. He earned the money, let him spend it anyway he wishes. Granted he's a bad actor, but he still earned the money fair and square. If you were born with the face every woman melted for, you too could buy a 300m yacht!
I guess he'd be buying this on credit for investment purposes; you'd have to be a billionaire to spend that kind of money "just for the hell of it."
You're joking, right? Brad and Angelina are continually helping poor nations. Even adopting Children of poor nations what, three times now? Brad definitely has $300m for a yacht. Maybe only 'just' from movies, but think of all the advertisement deals, sponsorship, awards and all the other small neccesities he gets for free, thus, saving a lot of money. I doubt the Yacht is going to cost him that much though. More than likely, the media has found out about the specs and phoned up lots of boating companies for a quote. That is what it would cost the average joe, but I doubt we know the exact details. Why hate the guy? Damn, I'm proud of him. He's done well in his life in a very competitive movie industry. Good on him!
When you have money, you can spend it in whatever way you like. But to spend so much money on a yacth plus a little submarine that comes with it is totally mind boggling. Consider the fact that Brad and Angelina are trying to help the poor African nations and how much the amount of money would mean to the poor there. How many more lifes will it save? How many hospitals can it build? How many more ophans can they adopt?
But you have to understand, they want to live life too. They don't claim to be the next Mary and Jesus.... they, like me and you, want luxury. They can afford it, it's their money... so why not? They've helped and no doubt continue to help poor African nations in many ways.
So what? How many cans of food could you have bought instead of your computer to help feed the poor? See? Why is it his place to build a hospital? It's not. Why is it your place to buy can food instead of your computer? It's not.
Snatch is a LITTE better than Fight Club. But they're both awesome. I personally prefer Pitt's character in Snatch. That is some superb acting.
