Brad Pitt has won the latest round of his epic legal battle against his ex, Angelina Jolie, for ownership of their $500 million French winery.
The actor faced juries in California and Luxembourg, arguing that he should have a majority stake in Chateau Miraval after his ex-wife sold her stake to Russian businessman Yuri Shefler.
Before getting married, the couple bought an estate together: Pitt owned 60 percent of the shares, and Jolie – 40. They tied the knot at this winery in 2014, and then Brad gave Angelina an additional 10 percent for the wedding, which made their assets equal – 50 to 50.
But when Jolie sold her shares after the divorce, Pitt said her deal was invalid and that he should still retain a 60 percent stake.
A source close to the matter told Page Six: “They entered into this agreement for equal shares during their sweet-bouquet period, when their relationship smelled like roses. It was a symbol of their love.”
