His obsession with finding gold in his mansion in France was revealed by Brad Pitt in a recent interview. The actor said he spent a whole year of his life finding gold, buried in the garden.
More specifically, Pitt confessed that a man managed to convince him that one of the previous owners of the French chateau he had bought with Angelina Jolie had buried millions of dollars worth of gold in the garden.
"I was obsessed. For a year it was all I could think about, I was obsessed," he said, explaining that this obsession had to do with the way he grew up. "Maybe it had something to do with where I grew up because in the Ozark mountains there were always stories going around about hidden chests of gold."

After searching for a year, Pete gave up and later discovered that the man who had told him the story wanted to invest in a gold detector company. As he said it was for him an experience that turned out to be "stupid. But it was just the treasure hunt that had me excited."
The mansion wasn't hiding gold, but it did bring Pete a big profit, as the winery he owned is one of the world's leading rosé wine companies, with revenues measured in the millions.
Recall, Pitt had sued his ex-wife, Jolie, when she sold her share without his knowledge. She had stated at the time that she did not need Pete's approval to take that action.
