told GQ magazine that he was told gold worth millions of dollars was known to be buried under Château Miraval, his 1,000-acre estate in Provence.“I got obsessed,” Pitt, 58, told the mag.“Like for a year, this was all I could think about, just the excitement of it all,” said the Missouri-raised actor.“Maybe it has something to do with where I grew up, because in the Ozark Mountains there were always stories of hidden caches of gold.”Pitt said he even brought radar equipment during his year scouring the vast estate, which is now part of a bitter lawsuit with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, whom he bought it with in 2008 and married there in 2014.He never found any gold — and later realized that the man who told him the initial tall tale had been seeking investments for a radar company. It was not clear if it was the same equipment that he bought for the dig.It proved to be “pretty foolish in the end,” Pitt admitted.“It was just the hunt that was exciting,” said the star who makes up to $20 million a movie, according to the GQ profile.The Miraval estate is located in the village of Correns in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in southeastern France.
Brad Pitt accuses Angelina Jolie of selling her share of his beloved vineyard to ‘Russian oligarch’ with ‘poisonous intentions’

Brad Pitt is accusing Angelina Jolie of trying to damage him by secretly selling her stake in his French vineyard to a “Russian oligarch” with “poisonous intentions”.

Papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court said: “The US Treasury Department designated Shefler as an ‘oligarch in the Russian Federation’ in an unclassified report to Congress made pursuant to the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017. ” Brad and Angelina, dubbed Brangelina before their split, bought the winery in Correns, southeastern France, in 2008 and when they divorced the estate was said to be worth $164 million.
The South of France château, where the couple married in 2014, became Brad’s “passion” and under his guidance has become one of the world's most highly-regarded producers of rosé wine, the court papers say. Yet in October 2021, the documents say Angelina “purported to sell her interest to Tenute del Mondo, a hostile third-party competitor bent on taking control of Miraval”. They
