Former married couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been divorced for more than three years now, but as is often the case, there are some lingering disputes over property (among other things). One such dispute involves a massive $67 million castle in southeastern France, known as Chateau Miraval. This estate has become a notable sticking point in their attempts to divide their assets, as reported by Us Weekly.
The Chateau Miraval is not just any property; it holds significant historical value as well as personal importance for the former couple. They purchased the estate in 2008 and even held their marriage ceremony there in the summer of 2014. However, the actual value of the estate has become a contentious issue in their divorce proceedings. Angelina Jolie asserts that the property should belong to her alone, claiming that the purchase was her idea. On the other hand, Brad Pitt seems hesitant to relinquish his share, offering Jolie a $10 million payment in exchange for her rights to the castle, which she has reportedly declined.
When you take a look at the Chateau Miraval, it's easy to see why it has become a focal point of contention. The estate is made up of several different structures, including residential areas, a working farm, and a vineyard, along with a recording studio that has hosted famous bands like the Cranberries and Pink Floyd. With such valuable assets at stake, the dispute seems far from over.
While other aspects of Pitt and Jolie's divorce, such as the division of other assets and a custody agreement for their children, are reportedly moving along amicably, the fate of the Chateau Miraval remains uncertain. It will be interesting to see when they can finally reach a mutually acceptable arrangement regarding this historic property and bring their divorce to a conclusive end.
In the meantime, you can take a look at the Chateau Miraval during happier times, with some footage from when Pitt and Jolie were married there in 2014, courtesy of Pursuitist.
