Angelina Jolie is accusing Brad Pitt of trying to 'bleed her dry' in their ... trends now
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.
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's 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.

The details of Jolie's ownership are not known but she has opened the 6, 600 square feet property as a store to promote her fashion label, Atelier Jolie.
In newly filed court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the actress claims: 'It is extremely painful for Jolie to have to defend herself from Pitt's lawsuit – itself another example of Pitt's unrelenting efforts to control and financially drain her – especially because Pitt's false allegations as to the reasons the Miraval deal cratered can only proven by doing exactly what Jolie never wanted to do: Provide to the trier of fact the reason the Miraval deal failed, which was Pitt's demand for an NDA to cover up his history of physical and emotional abuse of Jolie and their family.'
Says one source familiar with the situation: 'Angie says Brad is bleeding her dry – but it looks like she wants to bleed him dry.
'Far from being out to ruin his ex, it looks like Brad has bent over backwards to support Angie and help her out financially in spite of her appearing to be so vindictive,' the source added.
