Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are fighting for 140 million euros
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt do not find an agreement for the sale of Château Miraval, the famous estate in France where they married in 2014
The divorce between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was finalized in 2019, but the two are still in court because they cannot find an agreement on various matters, most notably the joint custody of the six children.
Today, however, it seems that the divorce between the two Hollywood stars has become even more complicated.
The Brangelinas are in fact fighting for Château Miraval, the $ 164 million (140 million euro) vineyard they own in France.
Just yesterday Brad Pitt, 57, filed a lawsuit in Luxembourg, accusing Angelina Jolie, 46, of trying to bar him from a potential sale while trying to liquidate her stock.
The two actors are equal shareholders of the property, each holding 50% of the shares.
Filings filed in court read that the plaintiff was charged with "systematic obstruction" for working towards the exclusion of Pitt in the sale of their property.
The lawsuit alleges that Angelina Jolie is trying to sell her stock without giving her ex-husband the "right of first refusal and profit," despite "the incredible amount of work, time and money" that Pitt claimed to have invested.
Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of "constant vengeful actions"
The 1,000-acre estate held special significance to the couple, as it is where they married in 2014, in a top-secret ceremony with only their six children in attendance.
The vineyard is reportedly owned by Quimicum, a limited liability company, which both parties control; Brad through his company Mondo Bongo and Angelina through his company Nouvel.
Brad Pitt originally held a 60% stake in Quimicum and Jolie the remaining 40%.
However, three years before their split in 2016, Pitt had transferred 10% of the ownership from Mondo Bongo to Nouvel, making the actors equal shareholders.
In the documents presented in court we read:
"It is worth remembering that, in the last four years, Nouvel [Jolie's company] has not acted in the best interest of Quimicum by systematically delaying the approval of the annual accounts and the managerial renewal."
“We understand that behind this systematic obstruction, the real purpose of Nouvel and his shareholder [Jolie] is to sell his stake in Chateau Miraval in a way that circumvents Mondo Bongo's pre-emptive right. Consequently, taking a capital gain realized thanks to the investment of Mondo Bongo and to which Nouvel did not contribute ».
A source close to the couple called Angelina Jolie's actions "consistently vindictive", describing her as "another example of how this person always tries to evade the rules."
