It’s no secret that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been engaged in multiple legal disputes over the past few years. The couple – who split in 2016 – found themselves entangled in divorce proceedings that raged on for several years. And, for nearly two years now, they’ve been engaged in another court battle since Pitt filed suit against Jolie in February 2022 over the $500 million winery they once owned together. Now, it would seem that the Troy star has seen a legal victory in the back-and-forth as of late. In the midst of that, newly surfaced information would suggest that this case apparently boils down to a wedding gift Pitt gave Jolie years ago.
At the center of this case is the Château Miraval in France – an estate that includes a winery and was purchased by the couple in 2008, before they tied the knot in 2014. Brad Pitt filed suit over Angelina Jolie selling her shares of the winery to a company owned by Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler. Pitt and his legal team have contended that he and his ex previously agreed that such a move would need to be OK’d by him, making the deal null and void. Jolie has since countersued him and argued that she sold off her shares in order to gain “financial independence” from her former spouse.
