Brad Pitt has entered the latest round of his legal battle with Angelina Jolie over $500 million worth of French vineyards, sources reveal to Page Six.
The well-known actor has been in the courts of California and Luxembourg closely following the legal battle for "Château Miraval", after he legally demanded control of the joint property of the former couple. Angelina sold her share of the property to Russian vodka businessman Yuri Shefler and he took legal action against his ex-wife.
Before they got married, Pitt and Jolie bought this property together with percentages that were in the ratio of 60-40. 60% belonged to the actor and 40% to Jolie.
When they tied the knot in 2014, Pitt gave his wife an additional 10% of the property as a wedding gift, making the property split 50-50.
After the sale that Jolie made without approval, Brad demanded full control over the property in question, removing the right to such decisions from his ex-wife.
"The agreement was that Angelina would get 10% more from him, making the relationship 50/50, but the approval was achieved for only 1 euro. It was symbolic of the relationship," sources told Page Six.
The Luxembourg court gave Brad Pitt back his 10%, keeping the case closed on their side until the final decision.
The legal battle between the couple is still ongoing, but this is a huge victory for Brad Pitt, who has not been favored in the decisions that have been made for them so far.
