Once upon a time in Hollywood, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were the ‘It’ couple. Their glamorous presence had sped up relationship goals before it was cool. However, like all good things, their relationship too had an expiry date attached. Their dissimilarities eventually overpowered their love. Not only that, the power couple’s divorce was estimated at $29M. While the numbers were substantial, the void in Aniston’s heart was even more significant. 

Following their divorce, the Friends star had once opened up about her sentimental trek and coping mechanism in a candid interview.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt’s relationship was written in the stars. However, being the star-studded couple did not help them reconcile their differences. Approximately half a decade into their knot-tying ceremony, their marital paradise came down to shackles. While opening up about how their journey went downhill in an interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Aniston revealed, how there were days when she threw “a little pity party” for herself.

Aniston explained that although the split was publicized, the burden of emotion was not any less for her, if not more. The divorce with Brad Pitt saw the light of many speculations, including his alleged affair. However, those assumptions were debunked by Courtney Cox and herself. While the world had kept them high on a “pedestal”, there was less recognition of their human side. Hence, the actor had to look out for herself in her own way.

Jennifer Aniston’s current net worth stands at an impressive estimation of $300M. Although her divorce from Brad Pitt had cost a fortune, it never actually dug a hole in her pocket. Even after almost a decade since the last episode of Friends aired, Aniston still heaves $20M due to its syndication rights. Additionally, the actors now also earn $2M individually after Netflix’s acquisition. Furthermore, her acting career apart from starring in Friends also credits to her bonanza.

Reports also suggest that the Friends star secures $10M annually from endorsements alone. Furthermore, she is also the owner of Echo Films, which she launched in 2008. The company co-produces The Morning Show with Reese Witherspoon. Therefore, even though Aniston’s love story did not turn out to be very lucky, she did luck out with her portfolio of fortune.
