Brad Pitt revealed his secret passion project that’s left the world all buzzing with intrigue.
The A-lister apparently spent an entire year hunting for medieval treasure, beneath his estate!
So, the villa itself is already a goldmine for its owners.
The former power couple bought the vineyard for the astonishing price of $60 million.
He even collected treasure-hunting tools, such as cutting-edge radar equipment, to boost his search for loot.
After all, it can’t be helped.
Treasure-hunting can activate the inner child in all of us, as it did with him.
The villa’s history itself is also pretty convincing for treasure hunters.
Chateau Miraval is nestled in Correns, along an ancient Roman location.
But despite his year-long excitement, Pitt’s loot-seeking adventure was futile.
Since the beginning, there was not a penny of gold underneath Chateau Miraval.
This was apparently just a ploy for him to invest in a radar company.
He further told GQ, that the experience was “pretty foolish in the end.”
However, Jolie countered that no permission nor agreement existed.
Jolie long ago stopped contributing to Miraval while Pitt poured money and sweat equity into the wine business.
This is probably one ofPitt and Jolie’s messiest momentsafter their split.
As of this writing, the former couple are still in a legal battle over Chateau Miraval.
