Angelina Jolie has recently made headlines with her decision to leave her entire fortune to her eldest son, Maddox. This choice has stirred controversy and raised concerns about how her other five children are being treated. According to insiders, Jolie sees Maddox as her “Golden Child,” appreciating his unwavering support during her divorce from Brad Pitt. This has led her to want to reward him for his loyalty, despite his siblings.
Brad Pitt’s Discontent
Brad Pitt is reportedly unhappy with Jolie’s decision to exclude their other children—Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the twins Knox and Vivienne—from her inheritance plans. He believes they deserve equal consideration and that Maddox should not be the sole recipient of Jolie’s wealth. Pitt’s stance stems from his belief in acknowledging the significance of all their children in Jolie’s life, regardless of their roles during the divorce proceedings.
Divorce and Custody Battles
Jolie and Pitt’s divorce in September 2016 was marked by intense scrutiny and custody battles. Jolie cited dissatisfaction with Pitt’s parenting approach as a reason for their separation. The divorce proceedings also led to allegations against Pitt, including an investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services regarding an incident involving Maddox. No charges were filed as a result of the investigation.
A Contentious Future
If Jolie’s alleged inheritance plans hold true, it is likely to perpetuate ongoing disagreements between Pitt and Jolie regarding their children’s well-being. Unequal treatment in terms of inheritance may continue to fuel disputes within the family for years to come. The decision to leave Maddox as the sole heir has created tension within the Jolie-Pitt family, with Pitt advocating for fair treatment for all their children.
