What’s better than a little retail therapy after a big breakup? Real estate retail therapy. Post-split, actress/humanitarian Angelina Jolie recently dropped an epic $25 million on a sprawling Los Feliz estate once owned by iconic silver-screen director Cecil B. DeMille, who lived in the dramatic home until his death in 1959.
Built in 1913, the 11,000 square foot home is located on DeMille Drive. The space has six bedrooms (the exact number of Jolie’s children), ten bathrooms, a pool house, poolside gym, private studio, library and charming rose gardens. Views from the home highlight the sparkling LA cityscape, the ocean, and the Griffith Park Observatory. The estate roosts on over two acres of land in the Laughlin Park community.
The home isn’t far from Brad Pitt’s historic Hollywood mansion, a space Jolie once occupied with Pitt and co. Behold its massive glory in the following array of photos.

Very happy for her and the kids and Brad too because they won’t be far from his Los Felix home . She has been living in Brad’s home so it must feel important to hernto have a home of her own and it is beautiful. I still wish they would work out their issues but I am a dreamer.
Wow! I find it interesting that actors can make fortunes and pay fortunes for their multiple homes and planes, etc, and then have the audacity to partake in ads/marketing requesting “our” money to help out with their “charities/causes” in which they’ve chosen to be an activist. Even the economy, for an example…if each actor donated $1 million, think of how this would reduce the debt. Okay, done with rant. 🙂
