Exes Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Are Still Battling Over This Sentimental Piece of Luxury Real Estate

BuzzNovember 19, 2019

It’s been about three years since one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, called it quits. What followed was the long process of taking apart everything they’ve built together during their over a decade of partnership and marriage.

Unfortunately, the task wasn’t an easy one leading to them having disputes about the custody of their six children and the division of their assets. One of the conjugal properties still in dispute is their reported $67 million chateau in France.

Dividing Assets

According to The Blast, the ex-couple has requested the court for more time so they can settle their finances. It was reportedly the ‘Fight Club’ actor who asked to continue their negotiations with the help of a private judge. Jolie agreed to this plea.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly reports that the stall in the divorce negotiations rests mostly on the value of Chateau Miraval, a property that Pitt and Jolie bought back in 2008. Apparently, the ‘Maleficent’ actress is looking to get the entirety of the French estate because it was her idea to buy the chateau in the first place.

On the other hand, the 55-year-old actor argues that he’s been ‘generous’ when it comes to other aspects of the settlement. He reportedly even offered his former spouse a lump sum payment of $10 million. The actress declined the amount, according to reports.

Massive French Estate

The former couple reportedly partnered with the Perrin family, who produces their own wine at the Chateau de Beaucastel

The expansive estate is site to multiple residential and non-residential structures as well as a farm. Meanwhile, the chateau’s huge vineyard produces bottles of rosé wine. One of their recent releases is Studio by Miraval, a product that commemorates the estate’s past.

It’s worth noting that the Chateau Miraval also has a studio on its grounds. The facility has been used by various musical acts from the Cranberries to Sting to Pink Floyd.

As talks over the ownership of Chateau Miraval continues, Pitt and Jolie have moved on to live in their own residences back home in the United States. The actress has bought the Cecil B. DeMille estate back in 2017 while Pitt is living in his longtime home in Los Angeles.

The property also holds some sentimental value for the exes as they married each other in a chapel on the estate in 2014. The affair was a private one with their six children performing important tasks for their wedding.

Pitt and Jolie’s two eldest sons Maddox and Pax were the ones who walked their mother down the aisle while daughters Vivienne and Zahara served as the flower girls. Meanwhile, Shiloh and Knox performed ring bearer duties.
