Brad Pitt reveals payment to Angelina Jolie for her French winery stake amid ‘war of the rosé

Brad Pitt exposed the sum that was paid to Angelina Jolie for her stake in the family winery amid their legal battle. The case filed is to undo this deal between the former couple. According to the reports by InTouch, the court documents revealed that the amount paid to Jolie to sell off her interest in Château Miraval goes into eight figures. They previously bought the winery in 2008 to turn it into a family business

Post their separation in 2016, Pitt revealed that the Maleficient ator suggested her buyout stake from the winery with their “discussions progressing intermittently into January 2021.” Brad and his team reached a “very advanced stage” in discussing the deals and reaching a price. The court documents revealed that Pitt offered her a $54.4 million deal. This amount was to be paid over six years with $46 million paid at the start and the rest of $8.4 million in instalments.

However, Pitt said that Angelina backed off from the negotiations “feigning concern over the terms of a proposed non-disparagement agreement in connection with the deal.” His lawyer alleged, “This was the pretext. In reality. [Angelina] and Nouvel had covertly lined up and tentatively struck a deal with a third party: the Stoli Group, owned and controlled by Russian billionaire, Yuri Shefler, and its subsidiary Tenute del Mondo.”
