While the thorny issue of the custody of their six children seems to have been resolved – Angelina Jolie will retain primary physical custody, while Brad Pitt will have visitation rights – another issue remains concerning one of the couple’s properties.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, the setting of the legal battle between the two actors is not a movie set, but a French vineyard estate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since 2008, the prestigious Miraval estate<\/strong>, located in the Var, has been owned by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Built in the 17th century<\/strong>, the Ch\u00e2teau de Miraval is one of the jewels of southern France. Its estate spans 600 hectares and includes a pine forest, an olive grove, and a vineyard near the village of Correns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Renowned for its ros\u00e9 wines, the estate also houses the famous Studio Miraval<\/strong>. Pianist Jacques Loussier<\/strong>, the owner of the place in 1970<\/strong>, decided at the time to set up a recording studio there. Over the years, Studio Miraval has seen many big names in music, such as Pink Floyd, Sting, and The Cranberries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Falling under the spell of the Var institution and its history, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought it for 25 million euros on May 8, 2008<\/strong>. Shortly before the acquisition, the actor dismissed the suggestion of Angelina Jolie’s commercial director to add a clause stipulating that in the event of the couple’s separation, each would have the right to buy the other’s share.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following the conclusion of the sale, the “Seven Years in Tibet” actor owned a 60%<\/strong> stake in the wine business and estate, while the remaining 40%<\/strong> went to Angelina Jolie through her company Nouvel LLC<\/strong>. Shortly before the couple’s wedding in 2014, Brad Pitt decided to “sell” his future wife 10% of his share for a symbolic euro.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This gesture, driven by romanticism and the desire for an equal partnership, is ultimately what, a few years later, sows discord.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In October 2021<\/strong>, Angelina Jolie, then separated from her ex-husband since 2016, decided to sell all of her shares to Tenute del Mondo<\/strong>, a subsidiary of the Stoli<\/strong> group specializing in wines and spirits. A “betrayal,” according to Brad Pitt, which goes against their promise never to dispose of their shares without the other’s consent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A new legal battle begins when the American actor demands the return of the 10% he gave to his ex-wife, as she allegedly never paid the symbolic euro agreed upon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He eventually won on February 1 before the courts of California and Luxembourg. While it was decided that, for now, the 10% would go back to Brad Pitt, the conflict is far from over: “It’s the equivalent of a sequestration. It’s not a final decision<\/em>,” a source told the American magazine Page Six.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/detail-1024x682.jpg\")
