Dec 30, 2019 by apost team
Brad Pitt is one of the most famous people in the world, but there are relatively few people who know anything about his brother Douglas. Brad's brother bears a strong resemblance to him, and the brothers are also close in age. Douglas could probably serve as a stunt double or stand-in for certain movie scenes if the need arose.
The reason you probably don't know about Douglas is that he prefers to keep his life and that of his family out of the public eye. He has a wife named Lisa, and they have two daughters and one son. Aside from the resemblance in physical appearance to his brother Brad, Douglas has accomplishments of his own that are noteworthy in business and philanthropy.
Douglas was born to William and Jane Pitt in St. Louis, Missouri, and he is now 56 years old. He has devoted much of his life to his business pursuits and to furthering social causes and charities. Since the early 2000s, he has been active with non-profit organizations, including WorldServe International, a group based in Africa.

Brad's brother also founded his own charity organization called "Care to Learn." This charity strives to solve problems faced by children relating to health, hunger, and hygiene. To this time, over one million children have received aid through this charity.
After hearing heartbreaking stories about children who didn't have basic needs met, Douglas was inspired to make a change in the lives of these kids. The stories he heard weighed heavily on his mind, and it compelled him to act.

This charity helps people in impoverished areas receive clean water.
Another accolade earned by Douglas is his appointment as Goodwill Ambassador of Tanzania. Douglas was the first person ever to hold this title in that African nation. His business resume is also impressive. In 1991, Douglas founded a computer company called ServiceWorld. The company later merged with TSI Global, and it is now part of the Pitt Technology Group.
