Angelina Jolie recently made headlines for her unexpected decision to disinherit five of her six children. Instead, all of her wealth, which amounts to a staggering $116 million, will go to just one child – her son Maddox. This shocking revelation has raised many questions and left people wondering why she made such a choice.
According to reports, Angelina Jolie’s decision stems from her gratitude towards Maddox for his support during her divorce from Brad Pitt. As a token of appreciation, she has chosen to leave her entire fortune exclusively to him. Jolie was disappointed that only one out of her six children actively assisted her during this challenging period.
This revelation has not been received well by Brad Pitt, who is reportedly upset with Jolie for favoring Maddox and excluding the other children from her inheritance. He feels that it is unfair to treat Maddox as the “Golden Child” and deny the other kids their rightful share.
The divorce between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was followed by a tumultuous custody battle, making it one of the most contentious celebrity divorces in recent memory. Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, citing dissatisfaction with Pitt’s parenting approach as the reason for their separation.
During the dispute, Jolie alleged that Pitt had assaulted Maddox. However, after an investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, no charges were filed. Brad Pitt, still enraged by the accusations, is particularly angered by Jolie’s failure to correct the record, which he feels has further damaged his reputation.
Brad Pitt firmly believes that all of his children, including Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, deserve a fair share of Jolie’s wealth. He feels it is improper to grant Maddox complete control and power over the family’s financial assets.
It is worth noting that Maddox supported his mother throughout the divorce, and Jolie has since appointed him as the CEO of her movie studio. However, Brad Pitt is adamant that Jolie should not forget her other five children, even if Maddox has played a significant role in her life.
This inheritance decision by Angelina Jolie is likely to further fuel the ongoing disagreements over their children’s wellbeing. If these allegations prove to be true, Pitt and Jolie will undoubtedly continue to argue passionately over this matter for years to come.
