While he was in Paris on Tuesday February 15, notably at the Bourse de Commerce and at the Beaubourg museum, Brad Pitt reignited hostilities against his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
In question: the vineyard of the former couple, Château Miraval in Correns, France, estimated at 164 million dollars (140 million euros).
Indeed, in October 2021, the 46-year-old actress had decided to sell her shares in the wine estate, which she owned with her ex-husband, without asking his agreement to the latter.
The actor is therefore suing the mother of his children for having sold 50% of the vineyard to the Stoli Tenute del Mondo group, the world leader in premium wines, led by a Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler.
The couple had acquired in 2008, had said "yes" there in 2014 and produced a rosé wine called "Fleur de Miraval".

The story is far from over: Brad Pitt demands the cancellation of this sale, as well as damages.
He points out that the success of the winery is his alone, but acknowledges that Angelina Jolie paid 40% of the $28.4 million when buying the estate.
A new event that adds to the war that the two parents are waging around their children.
Indeed, last October, Brad Pitt was denied joint custody rejected by the Supreme Court of California.
