Pitt and Jolie, once Hollywood’s most beloved couple, split in 2016 and have been embroiled in a bitter legal battle ever since.

Brad Pitt’s Legal Dispute With Angelina Jolie
Amid the ongoing legal battle over Chateau Miraval, Jolie accused Pitt of “financially draining her,” labeling him as “controlling.”
However, a recent report by the DailyMail revealed a different narrative. Pitt’s involvement in the winery business has significantly increased its value, with their former French home now worth a staggering $164 million, up from $60 million in 2008.
Despite Jolie selling her 50 percent stake in the winery to a Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler, in 2021 without Pitt’s consent, the actor has secured legal victories, including regaining control of the vineyard.
Pitt also triumphed in the LA Superior Court against Jolie’s claims of his lawsuit being “frivolous,” “malicious,” and “part of a problematic pattern.”
