Angelina Jolie is reportedly going all out to gain an edge in her ongoing legal battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt over their shared French winery, Chateau Miraval. The legal dispute, which has lasted years, is now set for trial in 2025 after Jolie’s attempt to have Pitt’s filing dismissed was recently denied.
According to RadarOnline, Jolie is taking significant financial steps to prepare for the trial. An insider revealed that the actress is liquidating assets to secure cash for the costly legal proceedings. “The case is absolutely wiping her out,” the source said.
While Jolie is worth millions through her properties and investments, the insider noted that her luxurious lifestyle means she doesn’t have vast liquid wealth readily available. “She might be worth millions in property and investments, but she has a lavish lifestyle and doesn’t have mega-money in the bank,” the source explained. To fund her legal battle, Jolie is reportedly combing through her possessions to determine what she can part with.
“She’s now making an inventory of the baubles and trinkets that she can do without, which might raise some cash for her,” the source added, describing it as the “millionaire equivalent of hunting down the back of the sofa.”
The high-profile battle over Chateau Miraval has become one of the most contentious aspects of Jolie and Pitt’s post-divorce fallout. Once hailed as a Hollywood power couple, the two have been locked in bitter legal disputes since their split, with the winery becoming a focal point. According to the insider, Jolie’s financial strain could worsen if the case drags on further. “If Brad continues to drag this case in court, she could end broke,” the source concluded.
Despite her financial maneuvers, Jolie remains committed to her position in the dispute, signaling that the trial will be a pivotal moment in their years-long fight. As the case heads toward 2025, both stars appear determined to stand their ground, with significant stakes for both their financial futures and public images.
