Eunice Kathleen Waymon. (Nina Simone) Cantante. EEUU,1933/Francia2003. Nacida en el seno de un humildísima familia de Carolina del Norte, la Suma Sacerdotisa del soul, que es como se la denominaba en los ambientes musicales de la época, comenzó su carrera, como otros muchos talentos de color, cantando en el coro de la iglesia donde, además destacó por tocar de forma virtuosa el piano con tan solo doce años. En un país racista como Estados Unidos, una mujer tenía muy complicado abrirse camino en el mundo profesional, si encima era una mujer negra, el empeño se le complicaba bastante y Eunice no fue una excepción, a pesar de sus excepcionales cualidades. Se le denegaron becas con las que podía haber iniciado sus estudios y a las que tenía derecho, también le negaron la matricula en conservatorios y la discriminaron en audiciones. Gracias al apoyo de patrocinadores, entre ellos su antigua profesora de música en la parroquia, pudo abandonar su tierra e instalarse en una ciudad cosmopolita y sin prejuicios como Nueva York y estudiar piano en la Escuela de Música Juilliard, aunque debido la falta de recursos, no pudo ver cumplido su sueño de convertirse en la primera pianista negra de los Estados Unidos. Tomó su nombre artístico de la actriz francesa Simone Signoret e inicio el despegue de su carrera como cantante con el tema I Love You Porgy que fue todo un bombazo en el mundo musical norteamericano. Se involucró activamente en la lucha por los derechos civiles de las personas de ascendencia africana, posicion humna y política que queda patente en numerosas de sus canciones. Simone dejó Estados Unidos en 1969, tras el asesinato de Martin Luther King, hastiada de la hipocresía y el racismo de sus compatriotas. Instalándose en un principio en las Islas Barbados, antes de instalarse en Europa, donde residiría ya hasta abril de 2003, momento en el que se apagaría para siempre una des las voces más universales, no solo del Soul, también la añoraremos los amantes del jazz, el blues y rhythm and blues.

How much money does Brad Pitt have? Here’s how he earns and spends it

Brad Pitt took home his first-ever Oscar for acting on Sunday for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

He’s most recognizable as an actor, but a significant slice of his income also comes from producing.

He spends his millions on real-estate, including a French vineyard that produces rosé, and a number of philanthropic efforts.

Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.

Brad Pitt won his first-ever Oscar for acting at the Academy Awards on Sunday. Since he first came on the scene in the late 1980s, he’s earned a total of 106 awards and 186 nominations.

He’s also earned millions of dollars.

While there’s no verifiable net worth estimate for Pitt, his typical yearly earnings are comfortably in the millions. Forbes estimated his total paycheck was around $31.5 million in 2016 alone. And that’s not just from acting — Pitt is an accomplished producer with his own production company, as well.

He primarily spends his money on real estate and philanthropic efforts.

A spokesperson for Pitt didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Pitt’s net worth or personal life from Business Insider.

Keep reading for a look at how Pitt makes and spends his fortune.

Brad Pitt has come a long way since earning $6,000 for his breakout role in 1991.

Pitt played a hitchhiking one-night-stand to Geena Davis’ character Thelma in the 1991 film “Thelma and Louise.”

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)

Pitt had just seven minutes of screen time in the Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon cult classic “Thelma and Louise.” The 1991 movie gave Pitt his first big break, albeit with a rather small payday of just $6,000, according to The Telegraph.

In 1995, Pitt earned $4 million for “Se7en” and in 1996, he earned $10 million for “Sleepers,” according to Refinery29. By the late 1990s, Pitt’s baseline paycheck was in the neighborhood of $17.5 million.

Today, Pitt’s movie appearances still yield multimillion-dollar paydays.

Most recently, Pitt was paid $10 million for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

His role as a 1960s stuntman in Tarantino’s movie earned him his first Oscar win for acting, but his upfront payday for the film was significantly lower than the typical $20 million Pitt pulls in from other blockbusters like “World War Z.” This can be attributed to differences in payment models.

For movies like “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Inglorious Bastards,” Pitt was paid a base salary, but he also received bonuses depending on the success of the film post-release.

The payment model varies for actors from movie to movie, and Pitt certainly isn’t struggling because of it.

Pitt founded a production company, Plan B Entertainment, with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston in 2001.

Pitt is currently the sole owner of Plan B, as he bought out Aniston’s stake upon their divorce in 2005.

The production company’s first movie was “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which ultimately grossed half a billion dollars worldwide. The company was also behind 2006’s “The Departed,” 2010’s “Eat, Pray, Love,” and 2011’s “Moneyball.”

More recently, Pitt and Plan B would go on to produce a number of culturally significant films, including “12 Years a Slave,” “Selma,” “Moonlight, “If Beale Street Could Talk,” and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.”

While it is unclear how much money Pitt takes home as a producer, The Hollywood Reporter estimates that actors who cross over into producing successfully take home a decent chunk of change — for example, Adam Sandler earned $5 million to produce “Grown Ups 2,” a movie he also starred in.

Pitt’s high-profile relationship with Angelina Jolie also earned the couple millions.

Pitt was paid $20 million to star in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” where he met ex-wife Jolie.

The power couple went on to monetize their relationship in a number of ways. They sold never-before-seen photos of their growing family to media outlets — including some of the most expensive exclusive photos to date. After the birth of their twins, Knox and Vivienne, in 2008, Pitt and Jolie sold photo rights of the children to People and Hello! magazine for $14 million. They then reportedly donated those earnings to charity.

Both were involved in multiple philanthropic projects, even creating a joint foundation in 2006. Through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, the pair made donations including $1 million toward humanitarian efforts in Darfur in 2007 and $2 million toward wildlife protection in Namibia in 2011.

In 2016, when the pair announced their split, Forbes estimated they had earned a combined $555 million since 2004. The divorce proceedings for their two-year marriage have been tricky, with parts of their real-estate portfolio still yet to be divvied up.

One of the couple’s disputed assets is their sprawling French vineyard. The two were married on the estate in 2014.

Jolie and Pitt have had a messy custody battle on top of difficulty separating assets: They are still arguing over who gets to keep the French estate, albeit privately with a judge.

Chateau Miraval, a 1,200-acre estate in Correns, France, has been part of the Jolie-Pitt real-estate portfolio since 2012, but they’ve reportedly rented the property since 2008. They bought the property for $67 million, according to Us Weekly.

It features 35 rooms and other non-residential spots like the chapel the pair were married in and a recording studio that Pink Floyd and Sting have used. The property also includes a vineyard that specifically produces rosé.

Pitt and Jolie still co-own the rosé brand made on the estate’s property.

Pitt and Jolie brought in the Perrins, a French winemaking family known for their experience in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to produce the wine. It is a 50-50 partnership, according to The Telegraph.

This business venture also undoubtedly earns Pitt a decent chunk of change. In June 2019, a single magnum bottle of Miraval sold for nearly $3,000 at a charity auction, according to Forbes. The rosé is now widely sold and was even featured at the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” premiere after party.

Beyond real estate, Pitt’s largest expenditures are philanthropic.

Through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, Pitt has donated millions of dollars to various causes, personally donating part of his movie deal earnings to the foundation on a yearly basis. According to the Daily Mail, the foundation was worth $41 million in March 2019.

In addition to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, Pitt has also been involved in other philanthropic endeavors indvidually.

He founded the Make It Right foundation in 2007 to rebuild homes in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Through the foundation, Pitt put $26 million toward building 109 homes. The project was not without its pitfalls — rotting and collapsing new homes led to a lawsuit. Pitt made a statement through a spokesperson to NBC about the debacle in 2018: “I made a promise to the folks of the Lower Ninth to help them rebuild — it is a promise I intend to keep.” In the most recent development, Pitt and other foundation directors asked the court to remove them from the lawsuit, but the request was denied by a judge in New Orleans in October 2019.

He also cofounded a humanitarian assistance organization called Not On Our Watch with “Ocean’s Eleven” castmates George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle.  The fund merged with an anti-war crime organization called The Sentry in 2019.
