Angelina Jolie’s $24.5 million new house
Angelina Jolie’s candid interview with Vanity Fair revealed dramatic details about the “Maleficent” actress after her split with Brad Pitt in September 2016. One of which is her recent acquisition of the magnificent 11,000 square foot Beaux-Arts mansion in L.A for a whopping $24.5 million.
Her stunning home had six bedrooms and ten baths and wasn’t fully furnished at the time of the interview.
Angelina Jolie admitted that she doesn’t really know the first thing about decorating. “I didn’t even know I needed throw pillows,” Jolie admitted. The former Cecil B. DeMille mansion was in part decorated by a friend. Jolie confessed that her former husband usually takes care of decorating the house.
Brad Pitt is undeniably a design enthusiast according to People. In fact, his former house in Malibu was sold to a noted prime real estate collector Ellen DeGeneres. Brad Pitt reportedly collaborated on a furniture line with designer Frank Pollaro in 2012. Later on, they established the New Orleans charity “Make It Right,” which helped build homes in affected areas during Hurricane Katrina.
