Angelina Jolie Sells Her $24.75M Mansion — Ready to Leave L.A. After Years of Planning

[Credit: "atelierjolieofficial" on Instagram.] Angelina Jolie has sold her Los Angeles mansion for $24.75 million, closing a chapter she has been planning for years. The deal reportedly closed after the actress's youngest children, twin siblings, turned 18 on July 12. That was the milestone she had long pointed to as her reason for leaving the city. Jolie bought the Los Feliz estate in 2017, shortly after her split from Brad Pitt, for $24.5 million.

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 told The Hollywood Reporter two years ago. She added that a big family needs "privacy, peace, safety." Jolie also said she plans to spend a lot of time in Cambodia and to visit relatives around the world. Pitt and Jolie separated in 2016, and their divorce was finalized in late 2024. Her six children are now all adults, and several of them have dropped their father's last name.

The 11,000-square-foot home has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a gym, a library, a pool and gardens overlooking the Griffith Observatory. What Jolie liked best was the calm. "There is no entertainment room, but lots of pathways and places to walk and think," she told British Vogue in 2021. The home was listed last May after a $5 million price cut, according to the original report. So who gets the quiet pathways now?

She first filmed 'Tomb Raider' there in 2000, and the country has been central to her life ever since. In 2005, King Norodom Sihamoni granted her a Cambodian passport for her humanitarian work. She later directed 'First They Killed My Father', released in 2017, based on the memoir of genocide survivor Loung Ung. After years in Los Angeles, she finally has the freedom to choose.
