Brad Pitt is suing Angelina Jolie for selling shares of their winery to a Russian billionaire

Brad Pitt is suing his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The suit comes after Jolie, 46, allegedly sold her shares of their Chateau Miraval Winery to a Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler. Pitt is hoping to void the sale of the winery, which has become his "passion," BBC News reports.

The winery in the south of France, which includes a home, was the location of the couple's 2014 wedding, and Pitt has turned it into a "multimillion-dollar international success story," according to the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles.

The couple bought Chateau Miraval in 2008 and in the court documents Pitt says Jolie paid 40% of the $28.4 million purchase price, Entertainment Tonight reports.
