According to a report in Daily Mail, Pitt 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.” 

It is said Jolie's biggest financial gain from the divorce came from the sale of her share of  Château Miraval estate. In 2021, the actress sold her part of the share which is 50 per cent of the estate to the wine division of the Stoli Group, Tenute del Mondo, for $64 million. Not just this, but the same year she also sold a Winston Churchill painting titled Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque for $11.5 million. The painting was a gift from Pitt.

The report also claimed that two years after their split, Pitt loaned $8 million to Jolie to buy her current Los Angeles home. At the same time, he had been financially supporting their children. Now, it has been revealed, that the actress will be repaying the loan by January 31.
