Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce settlement after an eight-year legal battle, with Jolie reportedly receiving a total of $80 million. This amount includes proceeds from the sale of their jointly owned French estate, Château Miraval, and other assets.
Breakdown of the $80 Million Settlement
Château Miraval Sale: In 2021, Jolie sold her 50% stake in the 1,000-acre estate and vineyard to the Stoli Group for $64 million. This sale was a significant part of the settlement.
Winston Churchill Painting: Jolie also sold a Winston Churchill painting, "Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque," which had been a gift from Pitt, for $11.5 million at a Christie's auction.
Loan Repayment: Pitt had loaned Jolie $8 million in 2017 to purchase a Los Angeles home for her and their children. Reports indicate that Jolie plans to repay this loan by January 31, 2025.
Ongoing Disputes
Despite the financial settlement, some disputes remain unresolved, particularly concerning the future of Château Miraval. Pitt reportedly wishes to preserve the estate as a legacy for their children.
The settlement marks the conclusion of a prolonged and complex divorce process, allowing both Jolie and Pitt to move forward with their lives.
