The historic French Quarter estate that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt lived in for a decade has officially been sold for a cool $2.8 million.
The aughts power couple purchased the 1830s traditional-style house for $3.5 million shortly after their 12-year relationship began, when Pitt became heavily involved in rebuilding homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. They sold it a decade later in 2016 for $4.9 million, records show. The house changed hands multiple times since Pitt and Jolie sold it, including to Paul Allen, the late Microsoft cofounder who died in 2018, as well as to recording engineer Cosimo Matassa.
Since the property was first listed for $5.35 million in September 2022, it underwent a series of price fluctuations. A year later, it dropped to $3.25 million. In early November of 2023, the estate was relisted at $3.475 million. In December, the house went up for auction with bidding starting at $1 million. “The campaign resulted in nearly 1,000 inquiries from buyer prospects and registered 12 bidders participating in the auction,” Scott Kirk, president and CEO of auction managers Interluxe Auctions, tells ELLE DECOR, before it was ultimately sold. The buyer has not yet been identified on public records.
