10. Diverging Interests Caused A Rift
It was just a few months ago that headlines made note of how Angelina’s growing interest in politics was causing tension between her and Brad after she decided that she wanted to enter the UK House of Lords. The couple was living in England with their children over the summer while Brad filmed the sequel to World War Z.
While there, Angelina spent a lot of time with House of Lords member, Arminka Helic, and seemed to have fallen under her wing. The two even partnered up with a UK-based nonprofit organization and Angelina was teaching classes at her new friend’s alma mater, the London School of Economics. To become a member of the House of Lords, one must be a tax-paying British resident and the couple would have to say goodbye to the Miraval estate that they own in France. Worth $60 million, the gorgeous chateau is special to Brad as he has put much time into renovating the home as well as starting a winery on location.
The house was put on the market but has failed to attract any serious buyers. Perhaps Angelina couldn’t wait any longer and won’t let her husband’s love of the Miraval estate get in the way of her dreams of becoming a member of the House of Lords. Luckily, the estate offers a significant amount of privacy so Brad can escape the paparazzi during his high-profile divorce.
