Will Brad Pitt be successful in suing ex Angelina Jolie over sale of lavish French winery? Expert weighs in
Brad Pitt might have a fighting chance in court over claims that his estranged wife Angelina Jolie offloaded her stake in their 1,000-acre Château Miraval estate behind his back, without giving him the first crack at purchasing her portion of the lavish $164 million French estate, according to one legal expert. Last Friday, Pitt sued Jolie over the sale, claiming that after the former pair purchased the property back in 2008, they agreed to never sell their respective interests without the other's consent.  Now, in a complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, the actor says the palatial abode was an investment buy "as a home to share with their children and the vineyard as a family business" and alleges that Jolie rushed to sell without his authorization.
