Beverly Hills Charm: A Spur-of-the-Moment Mansion
In the early 2000s, following her breakout in "Girl, Interrupted," Angelina Jolie and then-husband Billy Bob Thornton impulsively acquired a sprawling 11,000-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills. The estate, once owned by Guns N' Roses's Slash, featured nine bedrooms, an in-home recording studio, a gym, and a unique kitchen in the bedroom. The couple parted ways after three years, selling the mansion for $8 million almost a decade later.
Cambodian Retreat: A Wildlife Haven
In 2003, after adopting her son Maddox from Cambodia, Jolie purchased a traditional home in rural Cambodia, surrounded by over 148,000 acres turned wildlife preserve. In 2019, glimpses of this property were shared in a commercial for Guerlain’s fragrance Mon Guerlain, revealing a stunning wooden longhouse with traditional interiors.
New Orleans Elegance: A Post-Katrina Philanthropic Endeavor
In 2006, during their focus on post-Hurricane Katrina philanthropy, Jolie and Brad Pitt acquired a historic property in New Orleans's French Quarter. The 1830s brick house, retaining its historic charm, was sold for $4.9 million post-divorce in 2016.
NYC Privacy: Waldorf Astoria Residence
In 2007, Jolie and Pitt secured an apartment at the historic Waldorf Astoria in NYC, appreciating its tight security and proximity to the United Nations. Separate private entrances ensured their privacy in the bustling city.
Chateau Miraval: French Splendor and Legal Dispute
In 2012, Jolie and Pitt invested in Chateau Miraval in Correns, France, starting as renters before purchasing the 17th-century property. The estate featured a spa, gym, home theater, and a dirt bike course. However, post-divorce, Jolie sold her stake in the winery, leading to a legal dispute.
2023: Atelier Jolie in NYC
In 2023, Jolie announced Atelier Jolie, securing a 6,600-square-foot space in NYC. The socially conscious fashion studio aims to provide a haven for underserved artisans, featuring a proposed gallery space and café in partnership with refugee organizations. Jolie's commitment to social consciousness continues to shape her choices, both on and off the screen.
