Loads of Moneyball: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have put their Malibu beach house on the market for $13.75 million


Fans of superstar couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie no doubt dream of seeing inside their amazing lives.

And they have been offered an unprecedented opportunity to do just that after the first interior pictures of the $13.75 Malibu mansion they have put on the market were released.

Inevitably people will be impressed at the minimalist airy interior design style the couple seem to favou.

The mansion is just one part of a property portfolio that also includes homes in Malibu, Los Angeles, New Orleans, France and Italy.

No one knows why the wealthy pair have chosen to sell the property, which is set into a hillside over looking the Pacific Ocean.

It consists of two separate houses, a pool, a tennis court and expansive lush gardens.

The sprawling 4,100 square foot property also has private beach access and is set back off the Pacific Coast Highway by a long private driveway.

The main house has four bedrooms and four baths, a large chefs kitchen with stainless steel appliances, bamboo floors, three fire places and a top of the range security system.

The house has had extensive renovations in the past couple of years with an additional story added by the environmentally conscious designer Christopher R. Sorensen.

It gives an invaluable glimpse into the lives of Hollywood royalty, showing the kind of lavish luxury the couple enjoy as a matter of routine.

The generous sitting room offers amazing panoramic views of the coast and ocean, with the spectacular vistas no doubt the topic of many of the intellectual couple's conversations.

Something to chandelier at: The attractive roof feature means the ocean is not the only impressive thing to look at

The curious case of Pitt's pool: No doubt the actor loved relaxing in the water after a hard day's work

In addition to the attractive in-door design, there was also a close-up view of the luxurious pool.

Such an amenity is of course essential for the couple, as staying in shape is important to retaining their sex appeal and the support of their fanbases.

The family have their main home base in the East Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles, so perhaps they decided they did not need the extra property and decided to cash in.

Superstars Brad and Angelina also own a stunning town house in the French Quarter area of New Orleans as well as an enormous chateau in the South of France.

A glass act: The generously large windows literally give an interesting view into the couple's world

Ocean's Eleven: Perhaps the lovely view helped inspire Brad when he was researching his performance as Rusty Ryan

They recently purchased an estate in the Valpolicella area of Northern Italy, which could be another reason they are trimming their property portfolio.

There is no need to worry about whether the duo are being forced to sell their home because of money worries.

They were recently named the third highest earning couple in Hollywood by Forbes magazine, having banked a staggering $50 million between them last year.

She earned around $30 million [£18 million] last year as one of Tinseltown's most bankable stars.

Partner Pitt cashed in a cool $20 million USD [£12 million] thanks to his Plan B production company and a string of film roles.

The number one spot was taken by supermodel Gisele Bunchen and her NFL star husband Tom Brady who took home $76 million, shortly followed by Beyonce and Jay-Z who earned $72 million.

Anyone for tennis? No doubt Brad enjoyed getting to grips with Angelina on the court

Refuge: Brad and Angelina could get away from the celebrity ratrace in their private dwelling

Inside the $5.9m one bedroom penthouse apartment that single girl Jennifer Aniston may soon call home

By Daily Mail Reporter


With her relaxed attitude and perennially tanned complexion, Jennifer Aniston may appear to be a Californian girl at heart.

But it seems that the 42-year-old actress is thinking of swapping her laid-back Los Angeles lifestyle to head back to the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.

The actress is on the verge of closing a real estate deal on a $5.9 million New York penthouse, according to E! Online.

The West Village abode is reportedly only one bedroom and one bathroom.

But Jennifer will have the spectacular city skyline to keep her engaged during her down time.

The 1,200-square foot penthouse is on the eighteenth floor, and has a 800-square foot terrace with all-angle views, which reach all the way to the Empire State Building.

Security within the building is fit for any A-lister intent on keeping their privacy, with the apartment block having it's very own doorman.

The residence has a new open plan kitchen, dining room, living room.

It features hardwood and poured concrete floors as well as four closets, huge casement windows and doors which open from every room to a beautifully planted roof terrace with the panoramic north, south, east and west views

The quiet home also has stunning high ceilings.

And if Jennifer wants to reminisce about her early acting days, she can always go for a stroll down the street.

The frontage of the famous Friends building is just down the road.

Modern accents: The abode features poured concrete floors to give a warehouse style effect


While the show was all shot on the location in Los Angeles, all exterior shots were filmed in Manhattan.

Jennifer put her sprawling Beverly Hills on the market for $42 million in February.

She spent more than two years renovating that 9,000 square foot property after purchasing it in 2006 for $13.5 million.

She decided to sell the property after deciding it was 'too much' for her.

In the past, Jennifer has made it no secret that she was looking to return to New York.

Appearing on Good Morning America back in February, she told anchor Robin Roberts that she was in the market for a Manhattan home.

'I've been looking and looking and looking,' she said.

'I grew up here. I miss it. There is nothing like being in the city that is just the city of Everyman. It's all walks of life. I love that.'

Culinary dream: The residence has a new open plan kitchen with marble bench tops


Real Estate agents have however remained coy on the sale, telling E! Online: 'Reports of her buying a NY apartment come out about three to four times a year.

'Eventually they will be right as she wants a NY place but we won't be issuing a statement when or if that happens.'

Jennifer was born in Sherman Oaks, California in 1969.

After living for a year in her Greece, her family relocated to New York City where Jennifer attended the famed Rudolf Steiner School in New York, and then graduated from Manhattan's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.

She later worked in Off Broadway productions including For Dear Life and Dancing on Checker's Grave, whilst supporting herself with part-time jobs as a telemarketer, waitress, and bike messenger.

Eager to make it as an actress in Hollywood, in 1989, Aniston returned to Los Angeles and has since enjoyed a successful career there spanning over 20 years.

Slumber: The spacious bedroom has spectacular views and plenty of room to move


Currently Jennifer is directing a short film about the effects of cancer on a woman's relationship.

It will be one of five short movies based on the same theme, conceived as part of a series called Project Five.

Patricia Clarkson takes the lead role in the film, portraying the cancer victim.

Actress Demi Moore, 48, and singer Alicia Keys, 30, are also directing movies as part of the project.

Their films will be teamed up with Jennifer's to create one full-length feature to air later this year on US channel Lifetime.
