Angelina Jolie to Sell Historic Los Angeles Villa, Plan to Move Abroad
Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie is preparing to sell her $24.5 million villa in Los Angeles and move abroad once her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 in mid-2026[1][2][3][4][5].
The Los Angeles home, which Jolie has been living in primarily due to custody arrangements with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, was purchased in 2017 and spans over 1,000 square meters. The villa, located in the Los Feliz neighborhood, boasts six bedrooms and ten bathrooms and is a "historical masterpiece and a truly wonderful estate"[1][2][3][4]. It was originally owned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille and has connections to Charlie Chaplin[1][2][3][4].
Jolie, who was born in Los Angeles in 1975, has a large family that includes Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19), Knox (17), and Maddox (23), her eldest son whom she adopted in Cambodia in 2002[1][3][4]. She has been planning to leave the USA for some time, with her heart elsewhere, suggesting she is preparing to leave Los Angeles[2].
In a 2024 interview, Jolie mentioned wanting to spend "a lot of time in Cambodia" once free to move, indicating at least one possible destination. However, she has several locations abroad in mind for her move, but no specific countries or cities have been publicly confirmed[2][3][4][5].
Minor renovations are being done on the property to make it ready for sale. The driving factors for leaving Los Angeles include seeking privacy, peace, safety, and qualities not available in L.A. for her and her large family[2].
