Angelina Jolie, celebrated actress and humanitarian, is reportedly grappling with financial challenges that have forced her to take drastic measures. Known for her roles in blockbuster hits like “Tomb Raider”, Jolie’s spending reportedly now outweighs her income, and legal battles with ex-husband Brad Pitt have significantly drained her resources.
The root of Jolie’s financial troubles seems to lie in her ongoing courtroom drama with Pitt. A major flashpoint has been the legal dispute over their co-owned French winery, Château Miraval. Jolie sold her stake in the property to a Russian company in 2016, an action Pitt’s legal team claims violated a prior agreement.
The dispute spiraled into accusations from both sides, with Jolie alleging that Pitt sought to silence her through restrictive non-disclosure agreements. Her company, Nouvel, has even filed a $350 million lawsuit accusing Pitt of mismanaging winery funds.
Adding to this turmoil was Jolie’s lawsuit against the FBI and Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services over investigations into Pitt’s alleged abusive behavior in 2016.
While Pitt was cleared of the allegations, the high cost of litigation reportedly forced Jolie to withdraw her case, leaving her financially strained.
In an effort to manage these mounting expenses, Jolie has turned to selling off valuable possessions. Among the items reportedly up for sale is her 1958 Ferrari 250 GT, a collector’s gem estimated to fetch $1.3 million. Additionally, she is said to be parting with designer clothing, accessories, and possibly jewelry gifted by Pitt during their marriage.
Jolie is reportedly looking at options to bolster her finances. This includes taking on acting roles she might have previously avoided and considering a wealthier partner to provide stability. Her current relationship with British rapper and activist Akala doesn’t seem to be financially reassuring, prompting rumors of her openness to new possibilities.
On top of her legal battles, Jolie faces the financial demands of raising her children, including covering college tuition for some. Her dedication to providing for her family remains unwavering, but these obligations have added another layer of strain.
Jolie and Pitt’s relationship, which began during the filming of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, once symbolized Hollywood’s golden couple. Their family, including six children—three biological and three adopted—captivated fans worldwide. However, their 2016 split marked the beginning of a legal and financial quagmire that has yet to see resolution.
While Jolie’s resilience is undeniable, her current situation underscores the challenges even the most iconic celebrities face when personal and professional lives collide. Fans will undoubtedly watch closely as she navigates this chapter of her life.
