Brad Pitt found himself in a legal battle against Angelina Jolie over the division of their property in France following their divorce. The verdict, delivered after much anticipation, favored Brad Pitt in a surprising turn of events. The dispute centered around “Chateau Miraval,” the sprawling estate in Provence where the former couple tied the knot in 2014 and produced their renowned rosé wine.
After their separation, Angelina covertly sold a portion of the property to Russian billionaire Yuri Scheffler, prompting Brad Pitt to challenge the sale. His victory in court was bolstered by a raid on the winery in March 2022, during which authorities seized documents related to allegations of misconduct against Scheffler’s company. As a result, Scheffler’s firm, Nouvel, was ordered to cover court costs and the seized documents are expected to be returned to the secure confines of Miraval Castle.
The court’s decision to overturn Angelina’s appeal stemmed from her unilateral sale of the property without Brad’s consent. Remarkably, Brad emerged triumphant in legal battles fought across three jurisdictions: France, Luxembourg, and Los Angeles.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie parted ways in 2016 after a highly publicized divorce, leaving behind a blended family of six children, three of whom were adopted. The custody proceedings lasted three years, during which Brad’s relationship with his partner, Ines de Ramon, who is significantly younger, as well as his interactions with the children, were scrutinized. On Father’s Day, one of their sons publicly aired grievances against Brad, shedding light on the challenges within the family dynamic.
