Jolie-Pitt Twins' Pics Fetch Record Price

Pictures of Angelina Jolie's newborn twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, could have sold for a record $15 to $20 million, photographers tell The Associated Press.

Angelina delivered the twins Saturday night via Caesarean section at a hospital in France. According to the AP, a French newspaper, the Nice Matin, is reporting that the debut photos have already been sold to an undisclosed U.S. publication and that the money will go to a charity of the couple's choice.

Forbes magazine estimated that the top prices paid for star baby pics went to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony earlier this year for a cover shoot of twins Max and Emme. The price tag was a reported $6 million. Before that, pics of Brad and Angelina's previous little bundle of joy, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, reportedly went for $4 million in 2006, with the money going to charity.

  • I think Brad & Angie have what it takes to be parents & givers. They do need to show their childern what true comment is & that is to make a comment to each other before GOD.The best only real thing we can give our babies is JESUS!!!!!!!

  • Congratulations on your beautiful (i'm sure) babies! Angelina, as time goes on, look for signs of your mother in the children. My late mother loved gold (and anything that glittered!) and my youngest granddaughter, now 11, is a magpie just like her....

  • How about donating the money to charity HERE in the United States? Education, Elderly care, homelessness. Oh, I know why, it won't get as much attention as building an orphanage in Ruwanda!!! Shameful!

    • you are being silly, if America is the land of opportunity, what does that make "Ruwanda" i fully support Angie and Brads decisions to donate to foreign countries, not very many ``stars`donate their time and money as much as brad and Angie.

    • maybe if you lived for 1 day in Ruwanda you'd understand. Yes I realize there are problems here at home, but they are nothing compared to the slaughters that are happening there. I used to live on the streets, so I am aware of the homeless problems...

    • I believe its selfish to say that it is better to give to the United State's than Africa.African countries are not as fortunate and don't really no how to manage there natural resources. The Jolie-Pitt family should be able to do what ever they like...

  • How wondrful that this can work for all parties in a positive way, I say good for everyone. People should already know this situation is happening anyway, so why not use it for the good.

  • the only reason I support this is that I know Angelina is going to donate the entire sum to charity. otherwise I'd be disgusted.
