No.there is no peace for the Brangelina. After child custody, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie return to war for the French estate of Château Miraval, complete with a castle and vineyards. Brad Pitt, in fact, is suing her ex-wife accusing her of illegally selling his share of the estate.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at war for Château Miraval
Angelina would have sold part of the property to Yuri Shefler, Russian businessman, and he would have done so without the permission of his ex-husband who, in the meantime, had cultivated a great passion for vineyards. Brad, for his part, argues that there is an agreement: no one would sell their share of the castle (where they got married in 2014!) and his profitable vineyard without the agreement of the other party.
Sold without his consent
According to court documents, filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court and published by Page Six, “Jolie sold without Pitt’s knowledge, denying him the right of consent he owed him and the right of first refusal.” Not only. “He sold with the knowledge and intention that Shefler would seek to control the business that Pitt had dedicated himself to and to undermine her ex-husband’s investment in Miraval ».
The Miraval estate, the cradle of their love
The Chateau de Miraval, the vast estate in Provence, southern France, where Brad Pitt and Angelina got married on 23 August 2014. She wore an Atelier Versace dress and a veil with some designs made by her children embroidered on it. (lapresse)
The Miraval estate is located in the south-east of France. The palace, which comprises 35 rooms, is surrounded by lush gardens and vineyards in which Pitt says he has invested a great deal of money. The ex-couple bought the estate in 2008 for $ 28.4 million with a specific goal: to raise their children and build a family winery.. It is no coincidence that the couple got married right there in 2014. Then the separation, in 2019.

Pitt transformed the Miraval vineyard into a millionaire business, becoming one of the world’s leading producers of rosé wine. According to court documents, in 2013, “Angelina reportedly stopped contributing to the renovations while Brad continued to invest millions of dollars covering about 70% of the couple’s total investment in Miraval ».
She pulls back
Then in 2021, Jolie’s step backwards. She who she says she informed her ex-husband of a “painful decision, made with a heavy heart.” “Miraval had been bought with Brad about her to make it the family business and the place where they would grow old together.” But things turned out differently. Not only. TOngelina, says she can no longer “hold any ownership position in an alcohol-related company given her personal objections.” Hence, Brad’s intention to buy Jolie’s shares. And, instead, in October 2021, the Russian Shefler enters the field, without Pitt having been asked about the buyer. Not only. Shefler could prevent Pitt from running the winery, endangering the wine business.
Is Angelina looking for profits?
Thus, a long and complicated episode adds to the already complicated story of the Brad-Angelina divorce. A story in which, if child custody is not targeted, property ends up under attack. And there is also another aspect put pen to paper by the accusation: “the economic return sought by Angelina”. She, who paid only a share for the purchase of the castle and who long ago stopped contributing to the maintenance of Miraval, unlike the ex who poured money and sweat into the wine business, now would like profits. Earning without having paid almost nothing, therefore. And the Brangelina war continues.
