Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's $25M art collection at stake in divorce
The divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt raises questions about the fate of their contemporary art collection, valued at $25 million. Highlights include a Banksy bought in 2007 for £1 million, a Neo Rauch purchased for $1 million at Art Basel in 2009, and works by Tristan "Schoony" Schoonraad and Dom Pattinson. In 2015, Pitt ranked seventh on Wealth-X's list of top Hollywood art collectors.
