Angelina Jolie accuses Brad Pitt of trying to 'bleed her dry'
It's a breakup that's lasted almost as long as the relationship that preceded it.
Dubbed 'the war of the rosés,' Angelina Jolie has now accused 'controlling' ex Brad Pitt, 60, of 'financially draining her,' through the protracted legal battle over the winery that's dogged the couple since their split in 2016, Daily Mail reports.
But while she seeks to claim her ex is 'bleeding her dry,' DailyMail.com can reveal that since their ten-year relationship ended in divorce after a two-year marriage, her fortunes have soared.
Far from causing her funds to dwindle, a DailyMail.com investigation reveals that Jolie’s relationship with Pitt has helped enrich her by close to $100million.
That money has come through loans, child support, gifts and the millions she garnered from the sale of her 50 percent share in the property at the heart of the dispute - Chateau Miraval – ten percent of which was a gift from Pitt.
The couple’s former French home, a stunning 1,200 acre estate and vineyard was worth $60million when they bought it in 2008. Now, thanks to Pitt’s effort and investment in the business, it’s worth a staggering $164million.
And, while Jolie, 48, appears to be crying poverty in her latest court filings, sources close to Pitt point out that the Tomb raider star had sufficient funds to sign a recent deal to take over 57 Great Jones Street, a unique Manhattan space once owned by Andy Warhol and previously rented for $60,000 a month.
