In the middle of his continuing legal battle with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt claims to hold the majority of the shares in a French vineyard.

A new development has emerged in the long-running court battle between Angelina Jolie and her famous Hollywood rival Brad Pitt over a $500 million French property.

Page Six stated that insiders claim Brad Pitt has won the most recent round of his court fight with his former partner Angelina Jolie over their large French vineyard.

The ownership of the 1,300-acre French wine estate Chateau Miraval, which the couple jointly bought in 2008 during their marriage, was at the centre of this well-known lawsuit.

Brad Pitt’s big win

Brad Pitt (60) is attempting to gain control of his French winery, which is the subject of a court battle with Angelina Jolie (48). The Moneyball star is reportedly making arguments in courts in Luxembourg and California, according to Page Six.

After Jolie sold her stock to Yuri Shefler, the owner of the massive Russian vodka brand Stoli, a disagreement erupted. Notably, Jolie owned 40% of the estate, and Pitt owned 60% of it before their marriage.

What is the dispute?

The Hollywood celebs exchanged vows in 2014 before splitting up in 2016. As part of their marriage, Jolie reportedly received an additional 10% of the company, giving them a 50/50 ownership share following their 2016 divorce.

After the split, Jolie sold her shares, but Pitt claims he still owns 60% of the business and that the transaction is void, so things took a worse turn.

A source close to the case revealed, “He owned 60 per cent (Brad Pitt) and she owned 40 per cent (Angelina Jolie). When they got married, it was a conversation where everything was all roses [at the time]. The agreement was for her to get 10 per cent from him, a 50/50 agreement that they reached for one euro. It was symbolic of their partnership.”
