As per Page Six, Brad Pitt filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife Angelina Jolie over a dispute regarding their $164 million Chateau Miraval in Correns, France. Pitt alleged that Jolie tried to sell off her 50% stake in the $164 million estates in Correns, France, without giving Pitt the first option to buy her out. According to the court papers, Miraval is owned by Quimicum, a company in which Pitt originally held a 60% share through his company Mondo Bongo, while Jolie held 40% through her company Nouvel.

Three years before their split in 2016, Pitt transferred 10% of the estate from Mondo Bongo to Jolie’s Nouvel, making them equal shareholders. Sources told Page Six that as part of their agreement, the now estranged couple also agreed to ask each other for permission before selling their shares. Now as per TMZ, a judge has signed off on Brad and Angelina’s agreement to allow the humanitarian/actor to sell her share of the France estate to a third party.
