This place was where the couple got married in 2014, after nine years of relationship, accompanied only by their family. The property located in Correns, north of Brignoles, in the south of France, is the ‘bone of contention’ this time around.
It is said that Jolie would have tried to sell his share (50 percent) of the property, which is valued at 140 million euros (approximately 3.2 billion pesos). Prior to this, the actress denounced her ex-husband for seeking to block the sale of this residence last July.
According to documents presented last Tuesday in Luxembourg by Pitt's team, the Maleficent actress intended to put up for sale 50 percent of Château Miraval without giving the Inglorious Bastards actor the opportunity to acquire it, something to which that by law you have the right; that is to say, Jolie would be violating the right of purchase to her ex-husband.
Pitt and Jolie held their Miraval shares in separate limited liability companies (LLCs), according to the document filed in Luxembourg. Château Miraval is owned by Quimicum, a company in which Brad Pitt had a 60 percent stake through his company Mondo Bongo, while Angelina Jolie held a 40 percent stake from her Nouvel company.
In 2013, one year before they were officially married and three years before their separation, Brad transferred 10 percent of the ownership of Mondo Bongo to Jolie’s Nouvel, so that they were both equal shareholders.
According to information consulted by Page Six, the former couple had, as part of their agreement, the duty to ask for permission if they ever wanted to sell their shares. However, now that Jolie tried to sell her shares on the sly, the 10 percent transfer made eight years ago should be reversed as the shares were sold for a symbolic amount (one euro) and not as they should have actually been priced under Luxembourg law. .

The lawsuit mentions that "for the past four years, Nouvel (Jolie's company) did not act in the best interest of Quimicum (the joint venture) by systematically delaying the approval of the annual accounts and the renewal of the manager."
We understand that behind this systematic obstruction, the real purpose of Nouvel and its shareholder (Jolie) is to sell their stake in Chateau Miraval in a way that will circumvent Mondo Bongo's right to purchase (as provided in Quimicum's articles of approval) , resulting in a capital gain obtained thanks to the Mondo Bongo investment and to which Nouvel did not contribute ”, according to the lawsuit cited by Page Six.
