Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still frequently making news together, albeit occasionally and for only wrong reasons, more than five years after their tragic separation. The two have engaged in numerous legal disputes, but the most heated one recently involved their dispute over ownership of the 2008 purchase by the two parties of the Chateau Miraval winery, now valued at an estimated $167 million. However, it appears like Jolie has won the lawsuit and the couple has finally received a verdict.
After splitting up in 2015, Brad and Angelina filed a divorce the following year. During the debate over who owns the much-discussed vineyard, it was revealed that Jolie sold 50% of her shares to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler, who owns the Russian vodka brand Stolichnaya (also known as Stoli). Several lawsuits were brought against the Maleficent (2014) actor because the deal did not sit well with some people. One of them was from her ex-husband, who claimed that he was unaware of what she was doing.
According to the latest reports, the judge has rendered the final decision, and Angelina Jolie has defeated Brad Pitt. The documents from Pitt, his company Mondo Bongo, and his business manager have been seized by Jolie's lawyers.
