Angelina Jolie secures $80 million in eight-year divorce showdown with Brad Pitt

JAMES VITUSCKA FROM DAILYMAIL

Angelina Jolie is set to walk away $80 million richer after dragging Brad Pitt ‘through the ringer’ in their eight-year divorce battle.

The A-list stars, who met while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, finalized their divorce this week despite their bitter court battle over Chateau Miraval – the French chateau and vineyard they once jointly owned – still ongoing. 

A source told DailyMail.com that Brad, 61, is ‘relieved that this weight is finally lifted from him. He is no longer bound in any way to his marriage with Angelina. She has really put him through the ringer and he is just glad this portion is done.’

Brad – who makes $20 to $30 million per movie, has several multi-million business ventures and sponsorship deals, a vast real estate portfolio, and other lucrative investments – has a net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. 

Angelina, 49, is still one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, earning between $20 million and $35 million per film, Cosmopolitan reported. 

She also launched her own arts and fashion collective, Atelier Jolie, last year, but little is known about the company’s finances.
