Figures are reported estimates. Last updated Oct 2026.
Ongoing disputes over their $164M French winery Chateau Miraval.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie met on the set of the spy comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which they filmed in 2004, and became one of the most photographed couples in the world, nicknamed 'Brangelina' by the press. They had six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, some adopted and some born to the couple. They married on 23 August 2014 at Château Miraval, the French winery estate they co-owned, and Jolie's humanitarian work, including her role as a special envoy for the UN refugee agency, gave the couple a public profile beyond Hollywood.
Both stars built their fortunes through film. Pitt rose through films such as Se7en, Fight Club and the Ocean's series, co-founded the production company Plan B Entertainment, which produced Best Picture winners including 12 Years a Slave, and won an Oscar for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Jolie won an Academy Award for Girl, Interrupted and became one of the highest-paid actresses of her generation through the Tomb Raider and Maleficent franchises. Their most visible joint asset was Château Miraval in Provence, bought in 2008 and developed into a winery whose rosé became a commercial success. Reliable figures for their individual fortunes are not available.
The two began their relationship in 2005 and became engaged in 2012 before marrying in 2014. Jolie filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court in September 2016. In April 2019 a judge declared them legally single, ending the marriage while custody and financial matters remained unresolved. The remaining issues took more than five further years, and the divorce was finalized in December 2024, roughly eight years after the filing, through a settlement lodged with the court on a Monday at the end of that month.
The financial terms of the final agreement have not been disclosed, and no reliable settlement figure exists. Coverage of the December 2024 settlement noted that no terms were disclosed and that the long divorce had ended while a separate business dispute continued. Sums quoted in online summaries of this divorce are estimates, not figures from the court record, and should not be treated as the amount paid or received by either side.
The case is better understood as a long dispute than as a large payout. California is a community property state, and the marriage itself was short, lasting from 2014 to the April 2019 status ruling, although the couple had been together for more than a decade. What kept the case going was a fight over business assets rather than spousal support, in particular the ownership of Château Miraval, which became a separate lawsuit after the divorce was resolved.
The Château Miraval dispute is the clearest business consequence. Jolie sold her stake in the estate in 2021 to Tenute del Mondo, a unit of the Stoli Group; Pitt sued in 2022, claiming the sale was made without his consent. At the time the divorce was finalized, a judge had allowed three of Pitt's allegations to proceed. As of mid-2026, court rulings had compelled testimony from Stoli executives, with depositions in London expected before the end of September and a hearing scheduled on whether the company's owner must also testify.
The Pitt and Jolie divorce cannot be ranked by money because the terms are confidential, but it ranks among the longest-running celebrity divorces: about eight years from filing to final settlement. That is comparable to the ten years that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver took, though in that case the delay was quiet and in this one a public business fight accompanied it. It was also Pitt's second high-profile divorce, following his split from Jennifer Aniston in 2005.
The couple married at Château Miraval with their children taking part in the ceremony. Their split was followed by years of tabloid coverage, and the Miraval litigation has kept the story in the courts long after the marriage was legally over. The date most often quoted for the end of the marriage, 12 April 2019, refers to the ruling that restored their single status, not to the final settlement of December 2024.
