Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finalized their divorce after an eight-year legal battle, with Jolie securing an $80 million settlement. While the former couple have concluded their marriage, unresolved differences remain regarding their French estate, Château Miraval.
The duo, who share six children, met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004 and married in 2014. Their divorce, filed in 2016, included a prenuptial agreement outlining the division of property.
Jolie’s financial gain from the settlement includes $11.5 million from the sale of a Winston Churchill painting donated by Pitt and $64 million from the sale of her stake in Chateau Miraval. Despite Pitt’s estimated net worth at $400 million, he loaned Jolie $8 million in 2017 to buy a house in Los Angeles for her and their children. Reports suggest she intends to repay the loan by January.
At 49, Jolie is focusing on her career, including her art and fashion business, Atelier Jolie. Meanwhile, tensions persist over the future of Château Miraval, which Pitt, 61, would like to preserve as a legacy for his children.
The settlement marks the conclusion of one of Hollywood’s highest-profile divorce cases, allowing both stars to move forward while continuing to jointly raise their six children.
