For nearly a decade, Angelina Jolie’s Los Angeles home was more than a Hollywood mansion. It was where the actor built a private family life with her six children following her split from Brad Pitt, and where she once said she wanted them to have “privacy, peace, safety.” Now, with her youngest children having reached adulthood, that chapter appears to be coming to a close.
Jolie had previously spoken about wanting to leave Los Angeles, saying that she remained there because of the circumstances surrounding her divorce and that she would be able to leave once her youngest children turned 18. In an August 2024 conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, she said she hoped to spend more time in Cambodia and visit family members around the world. “I grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a divorce, but as soon as they’re 18, I’ll be able to leave,” she had said.
The 51-year-old actor has now sold the historic Los Feliz estate for USD 24.75 million, according to property records are cited by multiple outlets. Jolie had purchased the approximately 11,000-square-foot property for USD 24.5 million in 2017 and listed it for USD 29.85 million in May this year, meaning the final sale was about USD 5.1 million below her asking price.
The property itself carries a slice of Hollywood history. Originally designed by architect B Cooper Corbett in 1913, it was acquired by legendary filmmaker Cecil B DeMille in 1916. DeMille later expanded the estate after acquiring a neighbouring property associated with Charlie Chaplin. The Los Angeles Times, which reported on Jolie’s purchase in 2017, noted that DeMille had lived there for roughly four decades.
Spread across more than two acres, the estate has a six-bedroom, 10-bathroom main residence, a guest house and studio, a pool house, fitness studio, tea house and a separate garage with a security station. The grounds also feature century-old trees and views of the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Observatory. Architectural Digest and WSJ had previously highlighted the property's Beaux Arts architecture and its connections to Hollywood's Golden Age.
The house also became closely associated with Jolie's life as a mother. She had opened the property to people affected by the 2025 California wildfires.
With twins Knox and Vivienne turning 18 in July, Jolie's long-stated plans to spend more time outside Los Angeles can now take shape. The sale also comes amid Jolie's continuing professional and creative commitments, including her work with Atelier Jolie and her international interests.
