Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seem to have been rather content with each other since meeting on the set of their 2005 action film Mr And Mrs Smith.But the couple, who wed in 2014 and parent six children together, seem to have hit a snag this year, according to a Wednesday report from UsWeekly.It has been claimed the A-list actor, 52, is not happy that his 41-year-old wife wants to sell their sprawling Chateau Miraval property in France to help further her political career in London.'Angelina is ramping up her efforts in the political world,' a source told the publication.The Oscar winner has been working with Arminka Helic, the British House Of Lords member. 'They share a similar vision.' said a source.Jolie and Helic have partnered up for a nonprofit based in the UK. And the Maleficent beauty has also been teaching at Helic's alma mater the London School Of Economics.It looks as if Angelina wants to enter the House Of Lords, because the source said she is interested in unloading the Miraval estate she owns with Pitt. Only tax-paying British residents are allowed into the House.As of this summer, the stars are living in England where Brad is shooting the sequel to World War Z. He has just finished working on War Machine and Allied.Turns out Brad does not want to let go of the French estate, which he has tirelessly renovated and which produces their brand of pink wine.'She wants to sell Chateau Miraval and Brad refuses,' said the source.
Pitt owns a home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles but it is not known if that is in her name as well and will have to go too. And though Jolie is slated for a Maleficent sequel which Disney confirmed this spring, a source added 'she has turned her back on Hollywood.'Jolie has indeed been very involved with politics these days.On June 20 the By The Sea director addressed a crowd at the State Department in Washington DC on World Refugee Day.Pitt seems to be allowing some fun in his life, however, as he was seen at the 84th 24 hours Le Mans race in France on June 18.

They have owned an array of stunning properties across the globe.And Brad Pitt, 52, and Angelina Jolie's latest purchase is reportedly a luxury Majorcan villa in the ancient town of Andratx for £2.65 million.According to the island's newspaper Diario de Mallorca, real-estate tycoon Alessandro Proto was asked to find the star a property in the area after filming scenes for his upcoming World War II drama Allied there.

The coastal eight-bedroom property is said to be 900 square metres and includes a double living room, a large garden and swimming pool.MailOnline has approached representatives for the couple for comment.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s $21,000/Month London Mansion Is an Inspiration to All Business Travelers

It’s a pretty nice place to stay while you work.If you were going to be in London, England, for a few months for work, you’d probably, what, settle for whatever corporate apartment they found for you out by the airport or near the office? Because that’s just the way things have to be, right? Wrong! You don’t have to stay in some drab condo or business suite hotel for months on end! You can rent a huge mansion with a tennis court, multiple swimming pools, and a movie theater. That’s what Brad Pitt is doing, so why can’t you? Pitt, who is filming Netflix’s Stanley McChrystal movie War Machine in London for six months, is staying in a $21,000-per-month mansion in Surrey, where he will live with his wife, Angelina Jolie, and their many children. Us Weekly gives us some details about the home, most intriguingly that the mansion is “just a 35-minute boat ride from George and Amal Clooney’s nine-bedroom home.” Which is interesting, don’t you think? Does that imply that there will be many boating trips between the two mansions? Is there a dedicated ferry for that, or does Brad Pitt now have to buy a boat big enough to transport himself and his family to and from the Clooneys’ house? Is Brad Pitt going to become a boatsman? Will Angelina Jolie write a sequel called By the River?
Who knows. And who knows what it’s like when those two couples hang out, three of them talking about movies and then one of them being like, “Oh, that reminds me of when I spoke to members of Congress about the human-rights crisis in the Maldives,” and then there’s a pause and someone says, “Did you say Maleficent?,” and then the other one says, “No, Maldives.” That must be interesting!But anyway, we were talking about you. About your plans for your long work stay somewhere. Does this news, of Brad Pitt’s eight-bedroom mansion with its spa and billiards room, help encourage you to fight for your own comfortable accommodations? I hope it does. Because with a little ingenuity and tens of thousands of dollars, you, too, could be spending your business trip in style. Chances are you won’t find a place that has regular boat service to George Clooney’s house, and even if there was, you probably wouldn’t be let in once you got there, but other than that, you could find yourself very similar digs. I mean, the London area is lousy with mansions, even some that haven’t been bought by Russian oligarchs. And $21,000 a month isn’t even that much, when you really think about it. Sure, it’s more than most people pay for a year’s rent, but it’s not crazy. So, I think you can make this happen. Just go talk to Dawn and Gill in H.R. and they’ll help you out. You just have to ask the right way. Probably don’t mention anything about the Clooney boat, not yet anyway. Ease into that one. But do fight against the extended-stay hotel or business suite or whatever they’re calling the box they want to put you in. Demand, gently, the house with the movie theater and swimming pools. If Brad Pitt deserves it, so do you.
