A Son’s Role Rewarded
One of the most surprising aspects of Jolie’s decision is her choice to leave her entire fortune, reportedly worth $116 million, to her son Maddox.
The reason? Jolie appreciates the invaluable support she received from Maddox during her difficult divorce from Brad Pitt. Of her six children, Maddox was the only one who actively helped her navigate this challenging process, making her decision understandable from a perspective of gratitude.
Unease and Unfavorable Treatment?
While Jolie’s decision might have been influenced by gratitude toward her son, it has raised eyebrows and caused concern among those close to the Jolie-Pitt family.
Brad Pitt, Jolie’s ex-husband, is reportedly upset with the inequality in the inheritance. He believes treating Maddox as the “Golden Child” while leaving the other children out of her wealth is unfair and could create tension within the family.
Turmoil in the Jolie-Pitt Family
The Jolie-Pitt family has experienced its fair share of turbulence in recent years. The couple went through a highly publicized and intense divorce involving a custody battle for their children.
Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, citing dissatisfaction with Pitt’s parenting approach as one of the reasons for the split. The divorce ultimately culminated in an unpleasant event involving Brad, Angie, and Maddox, creating even more tension within the family.
Allegations and Investigations
During the incident, Jolie claimed that Pitt had assaulted Maddox, leading to an investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
However, no charges were filed against Pitt. This situation has further strained the relationship between Jolie and Pitt, with Brad feeling frustrated by Angelina’s refusal to correct the public record regarding the incident.
