Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have separated years ago, but the exes still get a lot of attention from fans. Aside from whether they will they get back together, many are also wondering who is richer between them.

Both of them started in the industry pretty young. Brad Pitt first appeared in the 1987 Kevin Costner movie “No Way Out” but his breakout role was in “Thelma and Louise,” per Celebrity Net Worth. He also appeared in “Interview with the Vampire” alongside Tom Cruise in 1994. With a string of movie hits where he showcased his talents in acting, Pitt would soon become an in-demand A-lister in Hollywood.

“World War Z,” a movie he acted and produced in 2013, made $540 million worldwide. He actually started a production house with Aniston in 2011. The company was called Plan B Entertainment. The production house was responsible for producing some of the films of Pitt such as “Troy,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “The Time Traveler's Wife,” “Eat Pray Love,” and “Ad Astra,” among others.

On the other hand, Jennifer Aniston enjoyed a long career on TV as one of the main cast of “Friends.” The show went on to have 10 seasons and its stars continue to make money due to syndication rights. The 51-year-old actress makes money off endorsement deals as well. She had been the ambassador of Smartwater, Emirates, Eyelove and Aveeno. In addition, a separate Celebrity Net Worth report indicated that she received a $1.25 million salary per show for the Apple TV exclusive “The Morning Show.”

Pay gap between actors and actresses still exists in Hollywood. With Aniston commanding a bigger if not the same salary as her co-actors, the feat is an achievement in itself.

Both ex-lovers are completely successful on their own and are set for life. The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor’s fortune is about on the same level as the “Marley & Me” actress’ wealth. Each has $300 million net worth.

The two remain friends and fans are still hoping for them to get back together someday. On the personal side, the 56-year-old award-winning actor and producer was once married to Angelina Jolie. They officially divorced in 2019. Meanwhile, Aniston has been linked to Vince Vaughn, Justin Theroux and John Mayer.

Aniston and Pitt made headlines recently as the two reunited for a table read of “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” The ex-couple were joined by other A-listers such as Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. The read through was set up to raise funds to help ease the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, per Sky News.
