Angelina Jolie is accusing her ex-husband Brad Pitt (60 years old) of ‘financial ruin’, through a long legal battle involving a winery in France since their separation in 2016.
While Angelina Jolie claims Brad Pitt is “draining her financially”, the Daily Mail revealed that since their relationship ended, the actress’s fortunes have skyrocketed. A Daily Mail investigation found that Jolie’s relationship with Pitt helped enrich her by nearly $100 million.
That money comes from child support costs, gifts, and tens of millions of dollars she earned from selling a 50% stake in the property at the center of the dispute, the Chateau Miraval castle.
The couple’s French chateau includes a winery located on a 48-hectare plot of land and a vineyard worth $60 million when they bought it in 2008. Now, thanks to Brad Pitt’s efforts and investment in the company, business, it is now worth a staggering $164 million.
While Angelina Jolie (48 years old) is lamenting poverty (as shown in her latest court filings), sources close to Brad Pitt indicate that the Tomb Raider star can afford to sign a contract. recent deal to take over 57 Great Jones Street – a unique space in Manhattan, New York once owned by Andy Warhol, previously rented for $60,000/month.
Jolie signed an 8-year lease for a 613 square meter area of land to use as a store to promote her fashion brand, Atelier Jolie.
In a new court document obtained by Daily Mail , it is written: “It is extremely painful for Jolie to have to defend herself against Pitt’s lawsuit. This is also another evidence of Pitt’s tireless efforts.” Pitt to control and drain her finances – especially Pitt’s false accusations.”
A source said: “Angie said Brad made her ‘bleed’ financially, but it seems like she wants her ex-husband to ‘bleed her dry’. Instead of destroying his ex-wife, Brad seems to have wholeheartedly supported Angie and helped her financially, even though the ex-wife hates her very much.”
Brad Pitt initially sought to buy out Jolie’s shares to keep the winery “in the family”. However the agreement quickly collapsed amid fierce arguments between the two sides.
Pitt accused Jolie of violating their agreement by selling her 50% stake in Chateau Miraval to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler in 2021 without his consent.
But friends of the star who won an Oscar through the movie Once Upon A Time in Hollywood stood up to defend Brad Pitt as a man who is always generous in his dealings with the actress.
As of 2018, Pitt has spent more than $1.3 million in child support annually, including children’s therapy, as well as paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in sundry bills.
