Several entertainment news sources have reported that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have acquired a $60 million 1,000-acre estate in the south of France. The joint is apparently called Chateau Miraval, located in a tiny village called Brignol in the Var.

The property allegedly has 35 bedrooms, swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool, gyms, sauna and jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall, E! reports. The castle is very intimate, with a driveway three miles long. The place is surrounded by forest on all sides and is close to Aix en Provence.

Other celebrities such as Bono, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis also live in the French Riviera area. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spotted the estate from the air while house-hunting by helicopter. They asked the previous owner to name his price and agreed with the steep $65 million price tag demanded.

This couple makes their millions here and will be dropping a great portion of it in France. They adopt trophy kids from everywhere except the U.S. where many hopeless American children need a home.

She's now "a UN Goodwill Ambassador" and a "Humanitarian Activist." I'm properly impressed.....I guess a world view and suction cup lips can move you on up in the global pecking order.

It's their perfect right, of course, to choose their own ideology in life. As for me, I say keep American green by supporting our own economy as much as possible.

I certainly won't add one more sou to Brangelina's mobile income which add$ million$ to the Euro economy.

Well, we all know what happened to the last king of France and his spendthrift wife, LOL.

Where do they get that kind of money, they’re known for being known! Are banks forced by gummint legislation to make loans to low income celebrities now?

It’s beautiful. Too bad they keep hopping the globe and sticking their kids into schools in various places. They might as well just have governesses and “home school” the kids. It must be very unsettling to drop in to a school for a few months and then wham, a new country.

Angelina is a much better person than that moonbat Jennifer Aniston.

Visited the charming town of Aix several years ago ... Provence is France's version of Tuscany in Italy. Beautiful area.

The house only has 35 bedrooms. That's two or three private rooms for each of the 14 kids they plan on having. Geez, what's so unreasonable about that? :/

In keeping with the spirit of FR and true conservatism, Good for them and what business is it of any of us to criticize how they choose to use THEIR money. It is called FREEDOM, remember. Most of you seem to be generally for it.
