Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, philanthropist, spokeswoman, and humanitarian who has a net worth of $120 million. Angelina Jolie began acting at a young age and had her breakout performance in the 1999 drama "Girl, Interrupted," earning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. This followed early roles in films like "Hackers" (1995) and "Gia" (1998), where her talent and intensity drew critical praise.

Jolie became a global superstar in the early 2000s, largely thanks to her role as Lara Croft in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001), which established her as a bankable action star. She followed with a string of successful films, including "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (2005), "Wanted" (2008), "Salt" (2010), and "The Tourist" (2010).

Jolie's personal life—including her high-profile marriages to actors Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt, and her large, multicultural family—has often made headlines.

Financial Problems?

As part of their bitter divorce battle, in August 2018, Angelina claimed to be cash-strapped and demanded more financial support from Brad Pitt. Court records revealed that Pitt had given Jolie $8 million as a down payment for the $25 million Cecil B. DeMille mansion because she did not have the funds herself. In reality, it's likely that Angelina has ample funds that are locked up in trusts and investments.

When they married in 2014, Pitt and Jolie agreed they did not need a prenup because both were coming into the marriage with net worths "exceeding $100 million." So where was Jolie's money? One answer is that she simply did not want to divest her assets to buy a new house when she knew that Pitt would almost certainly be obligated to provide her with the funds. It should also be noted that between August 2017 and August 2018, Angelina earned $28 million from salary and endorsements, which made her the second-highest-paid actress on the planet during that period.

Brad Pitt Divorce Settlement

After years of bitter legal wars, in January 2025, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finally reached a divorce settlement. According to various reports, Angelina received a total of $80 million as a settlement from Brad. Roughly $64 million came from her sale of the winery they formerly owned together. She was also allowed to keep $11.5 million that was earned from selling a Winston Churchill painting that she received as a gift from Pitt.

Early Life

Angelina Jolie Voight was born June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of actor John Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. Jolie's parents divorced in 1976, and she and her brother, James Haven, lived with their mother, who gave up her acting ambitions to raise her children. Her father's successful acting career inspired young Angelina to become an actor. When she was five years old, she had a bit part in her father's film Lookin' to Get Out (1982). When she was six, her mother and her live-in boyfriend moved to Palisades, New York. They moved back to Los Angeles five years later. It was at this time that she decided she wanted to act and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. She trained there for two years.

Jolie spent some time at Beverly Hills High School, where she felt isolated from her affluent classmates because her family survived on her mother's modest income. She was bullied by other teens for being very thin with glasses and braces. Her mom tried to get her to model, but early attempts at that were unsuccessful. She transferred to Moreno High School. It was at this point that she began wearing all-black clothing. She lived with her boyfriend and experimented with knife play.

Career

Angelina Jolie's first leading role in a feature film came in the 1993 straight-to-video sci-fi thriller "Cyborg 2," but her early breakthrough arrived with the cult favorite "Hackers" in 1995. She gained critical recognition in 1997 for her portrayal of Cornelia Wallace in the TNT biopic "George Wallace," winning her first Golden Globe Award. That success was followed by another Golden Globe and widespread acclaim for her powerful performance as troubled supermodel Gia Carangi in the HBO film "Gia" (1998).

Jolie's career reached a new level in 1999 when she won her third Golden Globe, her second Screen Actors Guild Award, and her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Lisa Rowe in "Girl, Interrupted." Her versatility soon made her a global star. She took on high-octane action roles in films such as "Gone in 60 Seconds" (2000), and most notably, as the title character in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001) and its 2003 sequel. She further cemented her status as an action icon in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (2005), co-starring with Brad Pitt.

Jolie also built a strong voice acting career, lending her voice to "Shark Tale" (2004) and as Master Tigress in the highly successful "Kung Fu Panda" franchise, including "Kung Fu Panda" (2008), "Kung Fu Panda 2" (2011), and "Kung Fu Panda 3" (2016). The series remains her most financially successful franchise, with worldwide earnings in the billions.

In 2011, she made her directorial debut with "In the Land of Blood and Honey," a war drama set during the Bosnian conflict. After a brief hiatus from acting, she returned in the Disney live-action hit "Maleficent" (2014), which reimagined the story of "Sleeping Beauty" from the villain's perspective. That same year, she directed the World War II drama "Unbroken," followed by "By the Sea" (2015), a personal marital drama in which she starred opposite then-husband Brad Pitt. In 2017, she directed and co-wrote "First They Killed My Father," based on Loung Ung's memoir about surviving the Khmer Rouge, and also served as an executive producer on the Oscar-nominated animated film "The Breadwinner."

Jolie reprised her role as Maleficent in the 2019 sequel "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil." While the film received mixed reviews, it grossed nearly $500 million worldwide. She went on to star in the fantasy drama "Come Away" (2020), the survival thriller "Those Who Wish Me Dead" (2021), and joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thena in "Eternals" (2021). She also voiced Stella in the Disney+ film "The One and Only Ivan" (2020).

In 2024, Jolie returned to voice the role of Master Tigress in "Kung Fu Panda 4," continuing her long-running association with the beloved animated franchise. The film was a commercial success and reaffirmed her status as a mainstay in family entertainment.

In 2025, Jolie took on one of the most ambitious roles of her career, portraying legendary opera singer Maria Callas in the biopic "Maria." Directed by Pablo Larraín, the film explores Callas's final days in 1970s Paris and showcases Jolie in a deeply transformative and dramatic performance. The role has been widely anticipated and marks a return to more intimate, character-driven storytelling for the actress.

Now in the fifth decade of her career, Jolie continues to balance acting with directing and humanitarian work. She remains a global icon, respected not only for her screen presence but also for her commitment to human rights, refugee advocacy, and socially conscious filmmaking.

Personal Life

Jolie met Jonny Lee Miller on the set of Hackers in 1995 and married him in March 1996. Instead of the traditional bridal gown, Jolie wore black rubber pants and a white t-shirt on which she had written her groom's name in her blood. They split the following year and divorced in 1999.

Jolie's divorce was finalized just shortly before she married actor Billy Bob Thornton on May 5, 2000, in Las Vegas after two months of dating. They met on the set of 1999's Pushing Tin. The couple was known for public declarations of their love, including wearing vials of one another's blood around their necks. Jolie and Thornton adopted a son, Maddox, from Cambodia in March 2002. They separated abruptly three months later. Their divorce was finalized on May 27, 2003.

Jolie was accused of causing the divorce of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston in October 2005. She said she fell in love with Pitt while they were filming 2005's Mr. & Mrs Smith. They went public with their relationship in January 2006, when she confirmed that she was pregnant with his child. Jolie and Pitt were together for 12 years. Their family grew to include six children, three of whom were adopted. Jolie and Pitt married on August 23, 2014. They separated in September 2016. Their divorce proceeding and custody battle have been drawn out. Their divorce was final on April 12, 2019.

Jolie has six children: three sons and three daughters. Of the children, three were adopted internationally, while three are her biological children with Brad Pitt. Maddox (born in 2001) was adopted from Cambodia in 2002 with Billy Bob Thornton. Pitt adopted Maddox in 2006. Pax (born 2003) was adopted from Vietnam in 2007 by Jolie and adopted by Pitt in 2008. Zahara (born 2005) was adopted from Ethiopia in 2005 by Jolie and by Pitt in 2006. Shiloh (born 2006), Knox (born 2008), and Vivienne (born 2008) are Jolie and Pitt's biological children.

Jolie is heavily involved in humanitarian efforts, becoming involved with UNHCR, traveling all over the world on field missions, and donating money to various relief organizations. In December 2022, Jolie resigned from the ambassadorship but pledged to continue to advocate for refugees. Jolie also co-founded the Jolie-Pitt Foundation with actor Brad Pitt.

In 2022, Jolie visited Ukrainian children at the Vatican Children's Hospital and traveled to Lviv, Ukraine, to meet with more displaced and hospitalized children in the wake of the Russian invasion of the country.

Real Estate

In June 2017, Angelina paid $24.5 million for a home in LA's Los Feliz neighborhood. At the time, it was roughly double the record price paid for the neighborhood. The home is located in the gated community of Laughlin Park, just five minutes from the compound Brad Pitt owns in Bronson Canyon. From 1913 to 1959, the 2-acre estate was occupied by Cecil B. DeMille.
