Anjelina Jolie Pockets $80M Divorce Settlement With Brad Pitt
Reports have revealed that Angelina Jolie earned $80 million following the conclusion of her acrimonious divorce battle with Brad Pitt.
Until recently, the two had been locked in a legal feud for over eight years over the details of their separation, despite having a prenuptial agreement before their 2014 marriage.
Angelina Jolie’s post-divorce earnings include her share of the winery she co-owned with Brad Pitt and a Winston Churchill painting she received as a gift from the actor.
After a legal battle lasting more than eight years, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie settled their divorce just before the end of the year, as seen in documents filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court on December 30.
Before their 2014 marriage, the two had signed a prenuptial agreement that allowed them to keep their assets while splitting their joint capital in the event of a divorce.
Unfortunately for Pitt, this arrangement helped Jolie earn $64 million when she sold her 50 percent stake in the Château Miraval Winery, which she co-owned with the actor.
She also retained the $11.5 million earnings from a Winston Churchill painting she sold at an auction after initially receiving the rare painting as a gift from Pitt.
Despite his now ex-wife gaining so much, Pitt is seemingly unbothered by it and is focused on the fact that his marriage to the actress is officially over.
Although their divorce has been settled, the former couple is still locking horns over the winery they once co-owned.
According to a source close to Pitt, the duo had “purchased Miraval with the intent of keeping it 100 percent in the family.”
However, in 2022, Jolie changed her plans and sold her stake, which Pitt claims violated a verbal agreement that neither would sell their stakes without the other’s consent.
Now, the former couple may finally be heading to trial on the case later this year after Superior Court Judge Lia Martin recently dismissed Jolie’s latest motion for dismissal.
As the case progresses, many sources have indicated that the situation may become even more complicated for the former couple.
