Vivienne Jolie-Pitt Paid $3,000 a Week for First Movie Role

The 4-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brat Pitt is getting paid more than an average full-time adult, according to TMZ.

Vivienne Pitt is earning $3,000 a week, according to a minor's contract filed in court, which was obtained by TMZ. On top of that, Vivienne Pitt gets $60 per diem for portraying young Aurora in the film, "Maleficent".

Jolie playis the evil witch who curses Princess Aurora into 100-year-sleep, we're unsure whether a prince would be cast to break that spell though.  Elle Fanning portrays the older Princess Aurora, while India Eisley plays the young Maleficent.

"The film reveals the events that hardened her heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora,'' stated Disney.

The mom of six, not only stars, but is also a producer of the film. Jolie brought her daughter onto the highly-anticipated untold version of the classic 1959 Disney cartoon, which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Music.

The Screen Actor's Guild told Hero Complex that the other Jolie-Pitt children, Pax and Zahara, are playing small parts in the film. SAG reported that children are paid the same rate as adults when they start off, which means $842 per day or $2,921 per week. 

That translates to getting paid quadruple that of an average full-time wage of $772 a week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This already makes Vivienne one of the youngest, top-earning new comers in show business.

The movie is directed by Robert Stromberg, the brilliant production designer behind "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland," and written by Linda Woolverton, whose also written "The Lion King," and "Beauty and the Beast."

"Maleficent" is to be released in theaters July 2014.
