Angelina Jolie walks away $80 million richer after dragging Brad Pitt 'through ringer' in eight-year divorce battle:

Angelina Jolie is set to walk away $80 million richer after dragging Brad Pitt 'through the ringer' in their eight-year divorce battle. The A-list stars, who met while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, finalized their divorce this week despite their bitter court battle over Chateau Miraval - the French chateau and vineyard they once jointly owned - still ongoing. A source told that Brad, 61, 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.'

The former spouses signed a prenuptial agreement prior to their 2014 marriage that stated in the event of a divorce, they agreed to keep the individual assets that they each had prior to their marriage and split their joint capital. However, it appears that the divorce itself has proved to be quite lucrative for the Maria actress. Two years after their split, in 2018, Brad loaned Angelina $8 million to buy the Los Angeles mansion that she currently lives in. At the time he had paid over $1.3 million in bills for her and their six kids - Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

In 2021, Angelina sold a Winston Churchill painting for $11.5 million at an auction for Christie's. The painting, titled Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque, was a gift to Angelina by Brad and is believed to be Churchill's only World War II-era landscape. The bulk of her post-divorce earnings came in 2021, when she sold 50 percent of the Château Miraval estate to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division the Stoli Group, for $64 million. 'They purchased Miraval with the intent of keeping it 100 percent in the family,' a source close to Brad said.' They were going to hand this down for their children so that one day they could run the business, and it would provide all of them a lucrative and stable future.
