Angelina Jolie Bio/ Wiki

Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight in Los Angeles, California. In her earliest years, Angelina began absorbing the acting craft from her actor parents, Jon Voight, an Oscar-winner, and Marcheline Bertrand, who had studied with Lee Strasberg. Her good looks may derive from her ancestry, which is German and Slovak on her father’s side, and French-Canadian, Dutch, Polish, and remote Huron, on her mother’s side. At age eleven, Angelina began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she was seen in several stage productions. She undertook some film studies at New York University and later joined the renowned Met Theatre Group in Los Angeles. At age 16, she took up a career in modeling and appeared in some music videos.

Angelina Jolie Net Worth

Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has at times been one of the highest actresses in the world, commanding $15 million in salary for a single role. Angelina Jolie Net Worth is $160 million as of this writing.

Jolie reprised the role of Maleficent in the Disney fantasy sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in 2019, which received unfavorable reviews from critics but did moderately well at the box office with a global gross of $490 million.

Between 2001 and 2011 alone, Angelina Jolie earned over $120 million in movie salaries alone. She earned $7 million for the first Lara Croft movie than $12 million for the second. She earned $10 million for Mr & Mrs. Smith, The Good Shepherd, and A Mighty Heart. Her salary jumped to $15 million for Wanted, then $20 million for Salt and $19 million for The Tourist. 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 property she purchased in April 2017 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 is 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 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.

Angelina Jolie Husband/ Spouse, Kids – Children

Husband/ Spouse (s)

Angelina Jolie had a serious boyfriend for two years from the age of 14. Her mother allowed them to live together in her home, of which Jolie later said, “I was either going to be reckless on the streets with my boyfriend or he was going to be with me in my bedroom with my mom in the next room. She made the choice, and because of it, I continued to go to school every morning and explored my first relationship in a safe way.” She has compared the relationship to a marriage in its emotional intensity and said that the breakup compelled her to dedicate herself to her acting career at the age of 16.

Husband/ Spouse 1: Jonny Lee Miller (m. 1996; div. 2000)

During the filming of Hackers (1995), Jolie had a romance with British actor Jonny Lee Miller, her first lover since the relationship in her early teens. They were not in touch for many months after production ended, but eventually reconnected and married soon after in March 1996.

She attended her wedding in black rubber pants and a white T-shirt, upon which she had written the groom’s name in her blood. Although the relationship ended for good the following year, Jolie remained on good terms with Miller, whom she called “a solid man and a solid friend”. Their divorce, initiated by Jolie in February 1999, was finalized shortly before she remarried the next year.

Husband/ Spouse 2: Billy Bob Thornton (m. 2000; div. 2003)

After a two-month courtship, Jolie married actor Billy Bob Thornton on May 5, 2000, in Las Vegas. They had met on the set of Pushing Tin (1999) but did not pursue a relationship at that time as Thornton was engaged to actress Laura Dern, while Jolie was reportedly dating actor Timothy Hutton, her co-star in Playing God (1997). As a result of their frequent public declarations of passion and gestures of love most famously wearing one another’s blood in vials around their necks their marriage became a favorite topic of the entertainment media.

Jolie and Thornton announced the adoption of a child from Cambodia in March 2002 but abruptly separated three months later. Their divorce was finalized on May 27, 2003.

Husband/ Spouse 3: Brad Pitt (m. 2014; separated 2016)

Jolie was involved in a well-publicized Hollywood scandal when she was accused of having caused the divorce of actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston in October 2005. She said she fell in love with Pitt during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), but she dismissed allegations of an affair, saying, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.” Jolie and Pitt did not publicly comment on the nature of their relationship until January 2006, when she confirmed that she was pregnant with his child.

During their twelve-year relationship, the couple was dubbed “Brangelina” a portmanteau coined by the entertainment media and were the subject of worldwide media coverage. Lorraine Ali of Los Angeles Times stated that they became one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples. Their family grew to include six children, three of whom were adopted, before they announced their engagement in April 2012. Jolie and Pitt married on August 23, 2014, at their estate Château Miraval in Correns, France. She subsequently took the name “Jolie Pitt”. After two years of marriage, the couple separated in September 2016.

In her divorce filing, Jolie requested physical custody of their children. On November 11, 2018, a new custody agreement was established between Jolie and Pitt. On April 12, 2019, the court restored Jolie and Pitt to single status.

Although Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ended their relationship in 2017 after 12 years together and two years of marriage, they will always bear the titles of Dad and Mom to their six kids. Angelina adopted two of their children before her relationship with Brad started and was made publicly official, but he went on to adopt them both, and they added another four kids to their brood between 2006 and 2008. Maddox, Zahara, and Pax were adopted from orphanages in Cambodia, Ethiopia, and Vietnam, respectively. The remaining three are their biological children.

Despite them not having social media accounts where they post about their kids often, Brad and Angelina’s six kids have all grown up in front of our eyes between their parents’ movie premieres and appearances at other celebrity events.
