French Riviera: It’s the Pitts - the Jolie-Pitts, that is
We interrupt our regularly scheduled post for some breaking news. We’re seeing rumors fly all over the web that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have just bought a $60 million compound on the French Riviera. It’s not just an estate, it’s a small village.
Chateau Miraval has over 1,000 acres and its own vineyard, Miraval. Reports from the Daily Mail and E! say that the couple have been flying all over in a helicopter looking for a property, and have finally settled on something. And they’re not just “settling” for a property. It’s nothing to sneeze at, my pretties.
In addition to a massive 1,000 acres surrounded by forest, the palatial castle has 35 bedrooms. And there’s a lake, swimming pool, fountains, and even ponies! What child wouldn’t be ecstatic at the thought of ponies? They bought it in part for the extreme privacy, and so Jolie could have her twins in France as a tribute to her French grandmother.
It’s still a rumor at this point, as far as we’re concerned. But we’ll let you know if things are indeed confirmed. (Do we really think they just dropped in via helicopter and asked for a selling price? Probably not.)
Edit - Wednesday 27th May -
It seems as though the news of a sale was a little premature and we are now hearing that they have instead signed a three-year lease. I cannot see Brad Pitt with his shirt off, sweating in the Provence sun, crushing grapes with his feet anyway. On the other hand……….

I am thinking about buying one myself. I only doubt I can afford 1000 acres
Misha
That is good for them and the children, but if it just a rumor why are you reporting it, that is stupid.
It’s a rumor based on solid information. The Pitts have been looking for a property in the south of France for some time now. This one fits the bill as to what they were looking for. i.e total security.
If we had felt it was completely unfounded, we would not have printed this.
Just look on the bright side - if we are wrong you can say I told you so, and if we are right you can say you were one of the first to know.
Win win

They’re probably leasing to make sure the ponies-riding, grape-crushing lifestyle is for them!
Yes, it looks like they are leasing, which actually sounds a bit more reasonable. I’ll probably post a separate update on Monday, so no one will miss it at the end of this post.
