Walang forever, says those who are bitter in love. And it looks like this ancient statement is true because one of Hollywood’s most prominent couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, (was) collectively known as Brangelina, split up.
Yes you read that right. Tinseltown’s most prominent couple has broken up because of “irreconcilable differences” according to Jolie’s divorce file. Whatever the reason is, Pitt and Jolie are just one of the many couples who split up because of various reasons. But after all the heartbreak and the drama, one question looms above: what will happen to their properties?
Like any other power couple Pitt and Jolie both invested on tons of luxurious real estate properties. According to reports, the used to be Brangelina has a combined wealth of a whopping $400 million, and most of these are real estate. Below are a list of the two’s shared properties.

One of the biggest and grandest property that Brangelina shared is the stunning Chateau Miraval. The historic estate located at the south of France dates back to the 18th century with 1,200 acres filled with a lake, a moat, pool, forests, and more. The chateau also has 35 bedrooms(!). Jolie and Pitt rented the house in 2008 and fell in love with it so much they bought it in 2012 for $60 million.

The couple bought the 1830s renovated home back in 2006. The New Orleans home has five bedrooms, five baths, and a two-story guest house. But the couple recently listed the property and lowered its price from $6.5 million to $5.65 million.
What will happen now?
What will happen to the glorious properties after the divorce? According to reports, it looks like both parties will leave with what they have bought during the relationship. It’s because the couple signed a prenuptial agreement that makes their own estates and money safe from one another. As of today, Jolie did not request for any spousal support from Pitt but is asking for full custody of their children.
