Brad and Angelina's record breaking photosNews Source Info - NSI Aug 5, 2008: The first photos of the newborn twins of celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, have been sold for a reported $US14 million ($A15 million), which would make them the most expensive baby snaps in history.
The couple sold the rights to the photos to Getty Images, which then sold them to magazines. Getty said that the proceeds would go "entirely to charity".
Intimate photos of Hollywood's most glamorous couple and their three-week-old twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, appear in a 19-page spread in the latest issues of People magazine in the United States, and Hello! in Britain.
Who Weekly, the Australian version of People, is published on Fridays but its Australian owner, Pacific Magazines put out a cryptic statement yesterday saying publication of another of its magazines, New Idea, had been delayed from yesterday to today. "It's a first for us not to be out on Monday. But we'd like assure readers that there's no problem … We'd like to advise readers that it'll be worth the wait. We have a few surprises in store."
Prices of celebrity photographs are sometimes hyped but even allowing for that, the price reported by Associated Press in the US for the newborn twins is more than three times the previous record figure as quoted in the business magazine Forbes last year.
That figure — $US4.1 million — was also for "Brangelina" and their firstborn child, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, and also appeared in People magazine, in 2006.
Pictures of Nicole Kidman's baby, Sunday Rose, are said to be worth $5 million.
