Brad Pitt’s financial clout might give him the upper hand in his escalating legal fight with Angelina Jolie over their $350 million vineyard, Château Miraval.
A new report by RadarOnline.com highlighting the financial disparity between the former spouses suggests Pitt’s steady income from Hollywood blockbusters makes him better equipped to handle the mounting costs of their bitter courtroom showdown, set for trial in 2025.
Meanwhile, Jolie — who recently dropped her lawsuit against the FBI for its investigation on alleged domestic violence — is reportedly grappling with the weight of ballooning legal bills, which are reportedly “absolutely wiping her out.”
A source asserted, “The fact is she’s not been in a mega-budget movie for years so doesn’t have the kind of income that her ex Brad can still generate in Hollywood. if the court case drags, she could end up broke.”
Per the report, Maleficent actress is taking stock of her assets, including artwork and handbags, and has listed her vintage Ferrari for $1.3 million to raise funds. “She’s now making an inventory of the baubles and trinkets that she can do without which might raise some cash for her,” an insider shared.
The dispute stems from Jolie’s 2021 sale of her stake in the vineyard to billionaire Yuri Shefler, which Pitt argues violated a verbal agreement granting him first refusal. With Jolie’s motion to dismiss his claims recently denied, the legal battle over the estate — renowned for its award-winning rosé — continues to intensify.
