Angelina Jolie is reportedly preparing to walk away from the United States for good as her long-running legal battle with Brad Pitt continues to take a serious financial toll. According to reports, the Oscar-winning actress is quietly unwinding her American footprint and setting the stage for a permanent move overseas.
The 50-year-old star recently sold her longtime Manhattan apartment in July 2025, and insiders say she is now getting ready to list her sprawling $25 million Los Angeles estate once owned by legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille. The move is said to be driven largely by the soaring cost of her ongoing legal fight with Pitt over their shared French winery, Château Miraval—a dispute that has dragged on for nearly a decade.
Sources claim the legal fees have added up far faster than Jolie anticipated. While she is far from broke, insiders say the prolonged court battles have forced her to rethink how and where she wants to live. Having stepped away from several major acting roles in recent years to focus on her children, Jolie is reportedly feeling the financial pressure of maintaining an ultra-expensive Hollywood lifestyle.
The Los Feliz mansion, which Jolie purchased in 2017 as a stable home for her six children after her divorce, is now being quietly shown to select buyers. Selling the property would mark the final chapter of her life rooted in California and free up significant funds as the Miraval case continues.
Beyond money, the decision appears deeply personal. Jolie has long spoken about wanting to leave Los Angeles and escape what she once described as the city’s dehumanizing spotlight. For years, a custody agreement required her to remain close to Pitt for the sake of their children. That restriction is about to disappear when twins Knox and Vivienne turn 18 in July 2026.
Jolie has previously said that once all of her children reach adulthood, she plans to live abroad. With that milestone approaching, sources say she is actively weighing options that offer more privacy, lower social pressure, and a slower pace of life. Cambodia—where she holds citizenship and owns a massive jungle estate—remains a top contender, while parts of Europe, including France and Italy, are also reportedly under consideration.
As the legal war with Pitt grinds on, Jolie appears ready for a complete reset—one that trades Hollywood courtrooms for a quieter, more controlled life far from California.
