Angelina Jolie has disinherited five of her six children.
There’s been speculation regarding Angelina Jolie’s inheritance plans, with reports suggesting that she intends to leave her $116 million fortune to only one of her six children—her son Maddox.
Allegedly, Jolie sees this as a gesture of gratitude for Maddox’s support during her divorce from Brad Pitt. According to sources, she felt let down that only one of her children actively assisted her during this challenging time.
According to sources close to the Jolie-Pitt family, Brad Pitt is reportedly upset with Angelina Jolie’s decision to prioritize their son Maddox as the sole beneficiary of her wealth, leaving the other five children out of her inheritance plans.
Allegedly, Jolie has chosen to leave Maddox her business empire as a gesture of loyalty, a decision that has left Pitt furious and feeling blindsided. The couple had seemingly reached a divorce agreement, but this revelation has reignited tensions between them.
The divorce between Jolie and Pitt in September 2016 was marked by escalating conflicts over parenting approaches. It culminated in a highly publicized incident involving Pitt and Maddox, which led to intense scrutiny and a bitter custody battle.
Jolie has maintained that Pitt was physically aggressive towards Maddox during the altercation, an accusation that was investigated by authorities but ultimately led to no charges being filed. Pitt is reportedly frustrated that Jolie hasn’t clarified or corrected the record regarding this incident.
Pitt is said to believe that excluding their other children—Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Knox and Vivienne—from Jolie’s inheritance plan is unfair and unjust. He feels strongly that Maddox should not have total control over their family’s wealth.
Despite Maddox’s support for his mother during the divorce and his subsequent appointment as CEO of her movie studio, Pitt feels that Jolie needs to acknowledge and provide for all their children, not just one.
If these allegations are true, it’s likely that Pitt and Jolie will continue to have heated disagreements over the welfare and upbringing of their children for the foreseeable future.
