Hollywood starlet\u00a0Angelina Jolie\u00a0has put\u00a0her legendary Los Angeles estate<\/a>\u00a0on the market for $29.9 million \u2014 nearly two years after confessing that she wanted to leave the US for good and move abroad.<\/p>\n

Jolie, 50, purchased the extraordinary dwelling, which was once home to iconic filmmaker\u00a0Cecil B. DeMille, for $24.5 million in 2017, less than a year after she filed for\u00a0divorce from fellow on-screen star\u00a0Brad Pitt<\/a>, and it has served as her primary residence ever since.<\/p>\n

However, in August 2025, rumors began to swirl that she was preparing the property for sale, after she\u00a0admitted to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0that she was hoping to leave Los Angeles as soon as the youngest of her six children turned 18.<\/p>\n

She explained to the outlet in a 2024 interview that, per the terms of her divorce settlement with Pitt, which was only finalized that year, she was required to remain in\u00a0California<\/a>\u00a0until all of their children reached the milestone age \u2014 but said that she hoped to spend \u201ca lot of time in Cambodia\u201d when she was free to relocate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in this town. I am here because I have to be here from a\u00a0divorce, but as soon as they\u2019re 18, I\u2019ll be able to leave,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be \u2026 that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here. [After Los Angeles,] I\u2019ll spend a lot of time in Cambodia. I\u2019ll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, just two months before Jolie\u2019s youngest children, twins\u00a0Knox\u00a0and\u00a0Vivienne, are due to celebrate their 18 birthdays, it appears the actress is starting to finalize her plans to leave L.A. by listing her six-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate, where she has lived with her kids since she and Pitt split.<\/p>\n

As first\u00a0reported by The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, the property \u2014 which sits on nearly two acres of lush land \u2014 is listed with\u00a0Jon Grauman\u00a0of Resident Group and\u00a0Ernie Carswell\u00a0of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.<\/p>\n

Jolie\u2019s name is not mentioned in the listing, which went live on May 4; however, the property\u2019s illustrious history features prominently in the description, which described the home as an \u201ciconic compound.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe legendary Cecil B. DeMille estate is now discretely being offered, marking a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history \u2014 an iconic compound from which Hollywood\u2019s future was shaped, and where Mr. DeMille helped define the industry as the entertainment capital\u00a0of the world,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally conceived in 1913 by architect\u00a0B. Cooper Corbett, the high-walled estate stands as a cornerstone of Hollywood\u2019s architectural and cultural legacy. Acquired by Cecil B. DeMille in 1916, it quickly evolved into a sanctuary of cinematic innovation and social grandeur.\u201d<\/p>\n

The listing notes that the existing property was expanded by DeMille in 1920, when he acquired a neighboring abode that was once home to\u00a0Charlie Chaplin \u2014 and then set about connecting the two dwellings \u201cby way of a graceful glass corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis union of artistry and vision transformed the property into a singular masterpiece, embodying the glamour and creative force of Hollywood\u2019s Golden Age,\u201d the description goes on.<\/p>\n

While much is made of the home\u2019s impressive Hollywood history, the listing features little to no information about the changes that Jolie has made to the dwelling since moving in nearly 10 years ago \u2014 and it features no interior images of the property, likely in a bid to protect the actress\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n

Among the upscale amenities that are mentioned in the description are a fitness studio, a tea house, a guest house studio with its own living room, fireplace, and private gated entry, and a pool house, as well as a \u201cseparate garage with security station.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPerched at the highest point within the prestigious Laughlin Park enclave, the grounds command sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Observatory \u2014 adding further romance to this timeless legacy estate,\u201d the description adds.<\/p>\n

DeMille purchased the original property for just $27,893 in 1916 \u2014 and he lived at the estate until his death in 1959. Since then, the extraordinary compound has changed hands on just a few occasions, with records showing that it was sold for just $1.5 million in 1990 and remained with that same buyer for nearly 30 years before it was purchased by Jolie.<\/p>\n

When the actress bought the property, it had just undergone an extensive six-year renovation, which included the grounds and the swimming pool.<\/p>\n

Last year, Jolie opened up the property to loved ones who had been impacted by the 2025 California wildfires, with an unnamed source revealing at the time that she had been left \u201cheartbroken for those who lost their homes\u201d and was \u201cdoing everything she [could] to help.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress later confirmed those reports, revealing in a video obtained by the Daily Mail: \u201cYeah, we\u2019re having people at our house. Right now I\u2019m taking care of people close to me and having them at my house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jolie has not yet commented on the property\u2019s listing \u2014 and it is unclear whether she plans to offload her\u00a0other\u00a0US dwellings ahead of her reported move abroad, although she has previously revealed that her apartment in\u00a0New York\u00a0City is currently being used as a \u201ccrash pad\u201d by her children: Knox, Vivienne,\u00a0Maddox, 24,\u00a0Pax, 22,\u00a0Zahara, 21, and\u00a0Shiloh, 19.<\/p>\n

In a March 2025 interview with the New York Times, the \u201cSalt\u201d star explained that one of her sons had taken up residence at the dwelling, but noted that it was routinely used by all of her children whenever they were in the city.<\/p>\n

The actress also owns several properties in Cambodia, purchasing her first dwelling in the country soon after she adopted her son, Maddox Andrew Bramasco \/ Realtor.com<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other day I said I was going to pop by, and he was like, can you just give me a day to clean?\u201d she joked. \u201cI thought, \u2018I appreciate that, you should clean up for your mother. But also, how bad is it?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Jolie purchased that property when she was in her 20s, having sold another Manhattan dwelling for $2.8 million in 2004.<\/p>\n

The actress also owns several properties in Cambodia, purchasing her first dwelling in the country soon after she adopted her son, Maddox, who was born in the country. She later noted that she hoped having a home in his home nation would help him to stay connected to his culture.<\/p>\n

In 2019, she revealed a very rare glimpse inside the dwelling, when she shot a Guerlain commercial at the home.<\/p>\n
