Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie reportedly considering retirement from the film industry.
Angelina Jolie to Sell Historic Los Angeles Mansion, Preparing for Global Lifestyle Shift
Angelina Jolie, the renowned actress and filmmaker, is set to sell her historic Los Angeles residence, marking the end of her decade-long residency in the city. The 11,000-square-foot estate, located in Los Feliz, was purchased by Jolie in 2017 for $24.5 million and has been her family's home primarily due to custody arrangements with her ex-husband Brad Pitt.
The property, a grand Beaux Arts-style mansion, boasts six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, formal gardens, multiple fireplaces, a wine cellar, a tea house, and a pool with fountains. The estate holds a significant place in Hollywood history, having once been owned by legendary director Cecil B. DeMille, who bought it in 1916 for under $28,000, and Charlie Chaplin, who lived in a neighboring home before DeMille acquired and merged the two estates.
The estate underwent extensive renovations to preserve its vintage character and craftsmanship elements, such as delicate moldings and French doors. Jolie’s decision to sell is not only a real estate transaction but also symbolic of her personal shift to a life outside the U.S. She has indicated that she never wanted to live full-time in L.A. and felt limited by the custody arrangement.
After her twins Knox and Vivienne turn 18 next year, Jolie plans to relocate abroad, having long expressed a desire to move out of Los Angeles once the custody constraints no longer apply. She is reportedly considering Cambodia and other international locations, while continuing her film career.
According to sources, Jolie's decision to leave Los Angeles is due to her not wanting to live there full-time because of the custody arrangements. The exact reason for Jolie's decision to sell her home is not specified beyond it being a part of her major life change.
The Los Angeles property owned by Jolie is a piece of Hollywood history, and the news of its sale was first shared by Page Six. The source for this information is PEOPLE. Before officially listing the home, Jolie plans to make some minor updates.
Jolie and Pitt have six children together: Maddox (24), Pax (21), Zahara (20), Shiloh (19), Knox (17), and Vivienne (17). The family has spent years in Los Angeles due to custody arrangements following their split. With her twins reaching adulthood, Jolie is preparing for a major life change, transitioning to a global lifestyle.
In summary:
- History: Built in 1913, formerly owned by Cecil B. DeMille and Charlie Chaplin, historic Beaux Arts mansion in Los Feliz.
- Sale: Purchased by Jolie in 2017 for $24.5 million, now preparing for sale (2025) as custody constraints end.
- Relocation: Planning to leave Los Angeles and the U.S. once her twins turn 18, with intentions to move abroad, including Cambodia.
This marks the end of Jolie’s decade-long residency in this storied Hollywood estate and her transition to a global lifestyle.
