Angelina Jolie has officially sold her historic Los Feliz mansion in Los Angeles for $24.75 million, according to real estate records viewed by USA TODAY. The 11,000-square-foot estate, originally built in 1913, was once owned by legendary director Cecil B. DeMille and later connected to a neighboring property belonging to Charlie Chaplin. Jolie, 51, originally purchased the property for $24.5 million in 2017 following her split from Brad Pitt, before listing it on the market for $29.9 million in May.
Inside the Historic Cecil B. DeMille Estate Sale
The transaction concludes Jolie’s ownership of the prominent Laughlin Park enclave compound. Real estate records examined by USA TODAY confirm the September 24 sale date. The gated property sits on two acres and includes six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. DeMille lived in the residence until his death in 1959, and public records indicate the home had other long-term owners—one residing there for 30 years—before Jolie bought it seven years ago.
Did you know? The estate features sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Observatory from its perch at the highest point in Laughlin Park, alongside a fitness studio, tea house, guest house, pool, and rose gardens.
Context Surrounding the Listing and Ongoing Legal Battles
The sale unfolds alongside an ongoing legal dispute between Jolie and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, 62. The pair are currently locked in litigation over Château Miraval, the French winery they jointly owned from 2008 until 2021, married at in 2014. Pitt filed a lawsuit in February 2022 alleging that Jolie sold her stake in the winery to an investment firm without his consent. The former couple separated in 2016, and their legal battle over the winery property is scheduled to go to trial in August 2027.
