Angelina Jolie's £70 million yacht
By BANG
Apr 11, 2007, 11:30 GMT
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are buying a £70million yacht.
The Hollywood couple are said to be splashing out the enormous sum on a
luxury 240ft-long three-deck yacht, which they have reportedly ordered from
a company near Rome.
Brad and Angelina will have a choice of six ensuite bedrooms on board the
lavish ship, decorated with marble and gold fittings. The mega-yacht will
also boast a helicopter pad, swimming pool and gym.
Boat builder Mario La Via confirmed the Privilege Yard near the Italian
capital had received an order for the luxury vessel, but refused to say
whether the prospective owners were Brad and Angelina.
Meanwhile, Brad has reportedly banned Angelina from adopting again in the
near future.
The 'Ocean's Thirteen' actor thinks he and his partner should concentrate on
the children they already have before extending their family again.
A source said: "Brad couldn't be more proud of Angelina and their family but
he wants time to invest a little in what they have already.
"Brad is not against having more children, adopted or otherwise. Angelina
wants more but he has suggested they should wait a while - a couple of years
maybe - before adding to their family again."
Angelina, 31, and Brad, 43, have a daughter together, Shiloh, who was born
last May. They also have two adopted children - five-year-old Maddox and
two-year-old Zahara. Angelina adopted a three-year-old Vietnamese boy, Pax
Thien, last month. Brad is not named on the adoption papers because the
couple are not married.

It sounds to me like he thinks his biological daughter isn't getting
her mother's attention as much as he thinks she should. I hope
Angelina doesn't kick him out because of this.

yatch? why? You mean after dissing all those stars prancing around

Sounds like BS to me, too.
More likely, AJ would buy and old freighter, to deliver care packages
of love to orphans all over the world. Of course, her own kids would

Maybe it's kind of a supersized houseboat, so there could be adequate
security. Like an Onassis thing.
I've only seen large yachts on Travel Channel, of course. Maybe it's how
the fixtures look on TV cameras, but they look shiny, glitzy and like I
imagine a high-end brothel to look.
The only yacht I ever was on was a normal size (whatever that means) but
it was all teak and gorgeous wood, very pretty. An old friend from high
school had a captain's license and ran the boat for a self-made
millionaire for fishing trips. Very nice (which showed me it was worth
it to go to that fifth high-school reunion!)

Bullshit. Yesterday there was an article about how they were spending a
similar amount on a private 747 aircraft. There is no way these people
have the kind of money necessary to throw away close to $300 million
dollars on toys. I doubt they even have ONE hundred million dollars
between them, let alone 300 of them.
I think Jolie is enjoying the backlash from only allowing People to
publish her photos/interviews. The other media outlets have nothing to
lose by badmouthing her as she only sells mags for their competition.
It is, in fact, in their best interest to grind her face down into the
mud. She'd better start sharing the wealth amongst the mags, or this is
going to get worse.

Someone so concerned about starving children is going to publicly admit
to spending 70 million dollars on a luxury yacht? I can't imagine that
she even has 70 million I guess Brad migiht, but where's his history of
spending absurd amounts of money on extravagant toys?
I can see them taking a cruise on it--but buying it? Never.
And if he really did tell Angelina to wait a couple of years before the
next kid, I wish him luck. AJ is too impetuous and too impatient to
wait that long.

Remember that Aniston was raking in ALOT of money from Friends and she
was Loreal's original ad girl. before they started taking on every
celeb with a little hype. Pitt was earning alot but Aniston was
pulling alot in, too.

It was only the start of his career pretty much. Then, he shot up WAY
UP to $500K in Kalifornia.

Has the adoption of Maddox and Zahara been completed because it seems
quite bizarre that they haven't informed us yet, I mean, they tell us
when they are doing anything for the kids or did I miss the
announcement?
8MilesHigh
M&Z have been adopted by Pitt here in the US. Paxil could only be
adopted by one person, according to Viet law, since Pitt and Jolie are
not married.
As soon as Paxil gets his US passport, Pitt will probably adopt him,
too - if this family doesn't crumble before then.

It's always interesting to me to hear or read someone recall their
first impressions of Pitt in that movie. I for one NEVER understood
his appeal. Still don't. Never will. I mean, is it really that great
for a male to be blonde and blue-eyed?? I don't get it. It's almost
like an over-played sterotype of the Adonis male. If he's blond and
blue-eyed then he's automatically adored, no matter what. I find his
acting talent to be extremely mediocre. Even the one performance I saw
that I thought was not half-bad was '12 Monkeys' and although he was
better than usual, he was only decent because he was so forced. He had
to force himself to act outside of his normal bland range. It was a
decent performance but not great because he tried so hard, like it
doesn't come to him naturally. I had the same feeling watching him in
'Babel'. Forced, forced, forced. As for his looks--he always looks
unwashed to me. And he has acne-scarred skin. I don't think his nose
and mouth are attractive. The only thing I could say about Pitt is
that he has a good sense of humor. I saw him on Oprah once and the guy
was funny. Without being forced.
Slinky Pink
The claim (not directly from them) is that he *can't* adopt him
because they are not married. Now, I'm no lawyer and certainly
ignorant of adoption laws, but I can't imagine why a woman can't
choose who she wants the father of her adopted children to be. I don't
see why they can't "co-adopt". He gave the two older kids his last
name--apparently legally. So what law is stopping him from putting his
name on adoption papers? I really don't get it. And as much as they
claim they are a family forever, if not being married was the only
impediment to him legally becoming their father, I would think that is
a good excuse to get married. They are living together and raising a
family like man and wife. Why not just do it? It leads me to believe
even more that Jolie doesn't WANT to marry him and that she is more
than content calling the shots on everything related to their
relationship and family life.

It is Vietnamese law that wouldn't allow the adoption to unwed parents so
she had to do it as a single mother. In the US I'm sure it's different so
he was able to adopt the older two.

In Vietnam, obviously. It's the law in many countries, that 2 single
people cannot adopt a child as a couple. Even in the US, gay couples
have to jump through expensive legal hoops to co-adopt a child since
they cannot marry.
<shrug> I don't get it. It must be based in some archaic
superstition or strict bias on what defines family.

It's the same Bizarro universe that makes it OK for the kid's family to

refusing to lift a single finger to help the baby who is guilty of the

Tom's salary varies - he didn't make that much on War of the Worlds
(he had no salary - only a percent of the profits, IIRC, that was
virtually NIL). He makes about 20-25M per picture - which is about
what Brad makes. Brad got $30M for Oceans 11. Tom did get $75M off
of MI2 - with backend (Brad's $30M included backend too). Brad makes
more pictures. He has like three out right now. Tom's are still in
development - and he's producing/paying for a lot of it, himself, at
this point. Tom gives, what, 20% to Scientology?
Angelina gets around $10-15M per movie and got $20M for Mr. and Mrs.
Smith - IOW, she gets only slightly less than Tom Cruise.
Back when she was married to Cruise, Nicole was getting 1.5-6M per
picture - she makes more now. In 2001, Jolie $7M for Tombraider,
which is the same amount Kidman got for 2001 picture - Moulin Rouge -
but Kidman made more movies that year (one at 1.5 and r one at 7M).
Either couple could afford a yacht. No one is saying they'd own it
outright. It's probably owned by their respective corporations, if
they film on it, it can be a business expense.
Of course, Angie is a tad twee - and god only knows how she really
spends her money. But either of these two couples could (temporarily
or permanently) own a $70M yacht. It's no different than buying a
house - and don't forget just how much non-Scientology owned R.E. the
Jolie-Pitt batch has.

Well - for one, the Yacht Builder would. Gladly. And say he hadn't
leaked it, either.
I don't know why everyone is so surprised. Brad is basically spending
that amount attempting to turn his Malibu house AND the Los Feliz
place into what are essentially Luxury Yachts. Especially the Malibu
house - well, we thought it looked like a Luxury Liner - a full blown
cruise ship, that house.
In fact, that's essentially what they've bought - if they have. A
mini luxury liner. They will keep it a few years, then sell it. They
will probably not end up spending much on it, compared to leasing the
houses they're leasing or buying the houses they're buying.
$40-50M a year for a family is enough to make payments on a boat.
That's a California Size Boat, though.

One report said that he offered the BH place to Jennifer Aniston in
their divorce settlement. She lives in Malibu so I don't know if that's
true. Maybe it was sold after the divorce.
