Brad Pitt is buying a controlling stake worth $500 million in a French winery over Angelina Jolie.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie divorced many years ago, but they are still in court, dividing their shared assets. The latest legal battle is over their French winery Château Miraval, valued at around $500 million.

According to Page Six, the actor from the film "Bullet Train" is proving in courts in California and Luxembourg that he should retain a controlling interest in the property after Jolie sold her shares to Yuri Shefler, an investor and owner of the Stolichnaya vodka brand.

Prior to their marriage in 2014, Pitt and Jolie purchased property together, with Pitt owning 60 percent and Jolie owning 40 percent. The same year the former spouses married, Pitt gifted Jolie an additional 10 percent interest in the property to split ownership equally.

Now that Jolie no longer has her shares, Pitt claims that the deal is no longer valid and that he should revert to owning 60 percent and maintain control over the French property.

“He had 60 [percent], and she had 40 [percent]. When they got married, it was a conversation where everything seemed rosy [at the time],” said the source. “The agreement was that she would get 10 percent from him, a 50/50 deal that they reached for one euro.

It was symbolic of their partnership.”

Now this partnership is over. According to reports from Luxembourg, the court has returned 10 percent ownership to Pitt for at least another year, although a final decision has not yet been made.

Pitt and Jolie divorced in 2019, both citing irreconcilable differences. They have three biological children: Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Jolie adopted her first son, Maddox, in 2001, while the actress adopted daughter Zahara, 19, and son Pax, 20, with Pitt in 2005 and 2007, respectively.
