Angelina Jolie is marking the end of a significant chapter in her life, walking away with $80 million following the finalization of her divorce from Brad Pitt. Despite their prenuptial agreement, Jolie's financial standing has greatly benefited from the split, including a share of the proceeds from the sale of part of their Château Miraval estate. However, the "War of the Roses" continues to unfold, with ongoing tensions surrounding the division of assets.
After meeting on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004 and falling in love, the couple's brief marriage ended in a bitter divorce battle, which was marred by allegations of physical and verbal abuse and a dispute over a French winery. After years of legal struggles, their highly anticipated divorce has finally been finalized, bringing an end to the eight-year legal saga between the Hollywood A-listers.
As per a Daily Mail source, Brad "is 'relieved that this weight is finally lifted from him. He is no longer bound in any way to his marriage with Angelina. She has really put him through the ringer and he is just glad this portion is done."
Angelina's most significant financial gain resulted from selling her share of the Château Miraval estate, which she and Brad Pitt co-owned. In 2021, she sold 50% of the estate to the wine division of the Stoli Group, Tenute del Mondo, for $64 million. While their divorce is officially concluded, the legal battle over the property is still ongoing.
According to the Mail, in 2021, Angelina sold a Winston Churchill painting titled Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque for $11.5 million at a Christie's auction. The artwork had been a gift from Brad Pitt.
Two years after their separation, Brad lent Angelina $8 million to purchase her current Los Angeles home while continuing to financially support her and their six children. However, sources now confirm that Angelina is set to repay the loan by January 31. Legal documents also reveal that Brad has paid a minimum of $9 million in child support.
In 2007, Brad and Angelina bought a $3.5 million home in New Orleans, which they later sold for $4.9 million following their divorce. They also reportedly co-owned a $323 million superyacht, though it remains unclear who currently owns it.
Brad's net worth stands at $400 million, while Angelina remains one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, with additional earnings from her art gallery and other business ventures. The couple had a prenuptial agreement that ensured their individual assets were kept separate, with joint capital split in the event of a divorce.
