Man, if France can give dole outs to the rich, I would certainly relocate and have my babies there! LOL! According to reports, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are technically eligible for a “nanny payment” of $975.84 a month, not to mention an “orphan allowance” of $508.97 for each of their three adopted children. The grand total, $2,592.81, would be payable by check each month. The sum is part of a financial package waiting for the Jolie-Pitt family at Brignoles Town Hall, close to their manor house home in the south of France. The Town Hall was one of the first places that Brad Pitt went to after arriving in France — there, he registered his family to make sure they were known to local medical services. This means all of the family are now listed on official state records, thus allowing them to enjoy the financial benefits available.

If you’re wondering why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are eligible to receive benefits despite earning close to $40 million dollars a year, its coz many of the most generous French benefits are not means-tested nor income related. Confirming that the couple were now established members of the community and so eligible for benefits, Correns mayor Michaël Latz said:

“They are ordinary and very kind. They eat like us, they live like us and they are very interested in the organic food of Correns. They decided to move here after visiting other homes in the region.”

However, a spokeswoman for the Brignoles council said:

“We do not discuss individual benefits cases, but can confirm that all resident local families with young children are eligible for certain benefits.”
