The shoot with the now three-week-old tots took place last weekend, New York Post columnist Keith Kelly reported Friday.
In a joint venture, People magazine purchased the North American rights to the photos while Hello! owns the worldwide rights.
Citing a "person involved in the negotiations," the Associated Press reported the publications shelled out $14 million for the photos - making them the most expensive celeb infant pictures ever.
The money from the photos snapped by Getty Images will go to a foundation created by Jolie and Pitt, the AP reported.
Jolie, 33, and Pitt, 44, forked over $8 million for their foundation in 2006, according to their federal tax filings. They supplied their joint foundation with over $4 million each. Half their contribution came from the sale of Shiloh's first photos.

Jolie and Pitt welcomed Knox and Vivienne (conceived through in vitro) at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France on July 12. They joined the pair's adopted brood of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

Knox weighed 5.03 pounds and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds.
Pitt cut the umbilical cord.
"He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional," Jolie's obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, who delivered the babies via a double Cesarean section, revealed in a press conference.
The birth was far from melodramatic.
"Jolie and Pitt were always laughing and having a good time together, even during the birth operation," Sussmann told The Jewish Journal.
