Brad Pitt gushed about his family being worth more to him than the $280 million he’s earned in the past six years with his wife, Angelina Jolie.
Pitt spoke with Psychologies magazine (via Daily Mail) about his children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and 6-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The actor claimed becoming a father changed him in so many ways.
“You learn to value the basic beauty of family, of watching your children grow and evolve. It's the most beautiful thing you can experience. I feel like the richest man alive since I've become a father,” Pitt said.
Pitt added, “I see my children as an essential part of my life, and it means so much to be able to educate them and help them make their way in the world as they grow up. I love being a father and all the responsibilities that entails.”
Pitt told the magazine he is worried about his children “all the time” and cares more about their well being than his own.
“I worry about them all the time. That's the emotional bond and responsibility that sweeps over you when you have a family to look after,” Pitt said.
“I care about them more than I care about myself, which I think is the real definition of love. You see past yourself and become more generous and giving, and wanting only the best for your family.”
Pitt recently married Jolie at their French estate Chateau Miraval on Aug. 23. Read more about the couple’s special day here.
