A line gets crossed after Brad Pitt’s team brings up their children
A source close to the actor said that the Stoli agreement is not a no-brainer and that Brad Pitt had rejected an offer to sell the company to the business firm even when he was still married to Angelina Jolie. They both claim that Stoli offers great chances to build the business. According to reports, this was due to Pitt’s long-held project strategy, which called for investing project revenues back into the business: “The best way to retain value for [their kids] is for the parents to retain full ownership of this increasingly valuable and expanding asset.”
