Inside Angelina Jolie’s $37m mansion amid plans to ditch US

Angelina Jolie is looking for a new start abroad.

The news comes as the Oscar-winner listed her California mansion — which once belonged to famed filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille — on the market.

The Tomb Raider star snapped up the six-bedroom property for $US24.5 million ($A37.2 million) in 2017, Page Six reports.

The estate has four fireplaces, a vast wine cellar, a tea house, formal gardens and a pool with cascading fountains on either side.

The 50-year-old actress is reportedly set to establish homes in three separate regions of the world — Cambodia, France and Africa — as each place holds special meaning to her, a source told Us Weekly.

Jolie adopted her eldest son Maddox, 24, in Cambodia, her daughters Zahara, 20, and Shiloh, 19, were born in Ethiopia and Namibia, respectively, and 17-year-told twins Knox and Vivienne were born in Nice.

She also has a son Pax, who was born in Vietnam, and she shares all six kids with ex Brad Pitt.

A source added to Us Weekly that since her youngest kids are turning 18 in July, Jolie is ready for a change.

“They’re all very special places,” the insider said of the locations the Maleficent star chose.

“She has dear friends in all of [those areas] who she considers confidantes and family.”

Jolie has longed for an overseas move for a while. In 2019, she told Harper’s Bazaar: “I would love to live abroad and will do so as soon as my children are 18. Right now, I’m having to base where their father chooses to live.”

She and Pitt, 61, split in 2016 but their divorce was not settled until 2024 following a contentious eight-year legal battle.

The exes are currently still fighting in court over their $US500 million ($A750 million) French winery, Château Miraval.

Another source told Us Weekly that although Jolie will “always love” Los Angeles, “she feels it has served its purpose” and she is “ready for her next chapter”, noting “you can really feel a shift” in the actress.

“Angelina will be back and forth to LA for work but won’t call LA her home,” the insider explained.

“She’s ready to dive deeper into directing and producing.”

Last month, Jolie was at the 2025 San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain and she shared why she has grown disappointed in the political climate of the US.

“I have to say that I love my country and I don’t, at this time, recognise my country,” she said at the time.

“I’ve always lived internationally. My family is international. My life, my world view, is equal [and] united.

“Anything, anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms [for anyone] I think is very dangerous.

“I think these are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually.”
