Hollywood’s golden couple Brad Pitt – Angelina Jolie had a “bad rice, bad soup” breakup.

On February 4, Page Six reported that Brad Pitt had won his asset division lawsuit with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Specifically, the once famous couple bought a vineyard in France worth $500 million (about VND 12,175 billion) in 2008, when they were not married. Brad Pitt owns 60% of this real estate, while Angelina Jolie’s ownership rate is 40%.

Then, the couple held their wedding here in 2014 and Brad Pitt gave an additional 10% to his wife, increasing Angelina Jolie’s ownership rate to 50%. However, after the divorce, Angelina Jolie sold her vineyard shares to a Russian tycoon. Brad Pitt believes this is illegal, so the actor filed a lawsuit. After a long legal battle, the court determined that the 10% share of the vineyard still belonged to Brad Pitt, the actor still owned 60% of the vineyard until the final verdict was made. Sources from Page Six say that Brad Pitt will maintain control of 60% of this real estate for about another year or more, when the legal battle will completely end.

The court ruled in favor of Brad Pitt…

The once famous couple’s vineyard covers an area of up to 1,300 acres (526 hectares), including a pine forest, lake and Roman chapel. This is where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt exchanged vows to become husband and wife in 2014. On this land there is also a 35-room main villa, including a gym, home cinema, spa, 2 swimming pool and helipad. Since 2013, the couple started selling wine produced at this vineyard.

The famous couple held their wedding right at the vineyard, spending tens of millions of dollars to upgrade and renovate the building with the hope that they would live here long term, raise their children and then retire here.

According to the agreement while still together, Angelina Jolie will spend a lot of time and effort taking care of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation charity fund, while Brad Pitt will be responsible for selling wine from the vineyard. The actress said that the vineyard has become an expensive and profitable project after being renovated. But when they broke up, her ex-husband plotted to take over this real estate block.

When the lawsuit broke out, Angelina Jolie accused her of being forced to sign a contract to resell shares of the vineyard with unfavorable and unreasonable terms. According to the actress, Brad Pitt took all the profits from the wine business and used this money for useless and vain plans to disperse his assets. Angelina Jolie believes that Brad Pitt tried to transfer the property to friends and business partners, wasting millions of dollars to repair the villa for very confusing reasons.

In response to this, Brad Pitt said he started the wine business because of his family. It was Angelina Jolie who secretly sold shares to the Russian tycoon. In particular, the actor also put millions of dollars of his own money into the business, so Angelina Jolie’s accusations are completely unreasonable.

After the divorce, the couple took each other to court over disagreements in dividing this real estate block worth more than 12,000 billion VND.
