Angelina Jolie Kids, Net Worth, Parents, Brother, Cancer & Death Rumor
Angelina Jolie is an award-winning actress and filmmaker who entered the acting scene as a child before becoming one of the most in-demand actresses of her generation. She is best known for starring in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” (2001), “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” (2005) and “Maleficent” (2014).
Jolie, who is one of the most influential and powerful people in Hollywood today, has used some of her star power to raise awareness of a range of humanitarian issues close to her heart. These include conservation, education, women’s rights and refugees, which made her the special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Early Life and Rise to Fame
Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight to Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand grew up on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California where she was raised only by her mother after her parents separated when she was just two years old. She is of German, Slovak, French, Canadian and Dutch descent.
Jolie initially attended Beverly Hills High School before later transferring to Moreno High School. She also enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute, where she learned to act. Her first appearances in front of the camera were her brother’s student films as well as a few music videos by artists such as Lenny Kravitz and Meat Loaf.
Angelina Jolie’s professional film career was launched in 1993 in the films “Cyborg 2” and “Without Evidence” (1995) and “Hackers” (1995).

As of 2002, Angelina Jolie was one of the highest earners in the industry, reportedly earning around $10 million to $15 million per film. That number rose in 2008, when she earned between $15 million and $20 million per film. Forbes Magazine listed her as the highest paid actress in Hollywood in 2009, 2011, and 2013 with estimated earnings of $27 million, $30 million, and $33 million, respectively.
Add that to the lucrative endorsement deals she’s landed with brands Loius Vuitton and St. John Clothing, and you can see why she’s said to have an estimated net worth of $160 million today.
Angelina Jolie Children, Brother and Parents
Angelina Jolie’s parents were both actors. However, her father was more successful than her mother, appearing in a few supporting roles before later quitting to raise their children, while her husband won various awards including four Golden Globe Awards from eleven nominations and one Oscar from four nominations. He is known for films and series such as “Runaway Train” (1985), “Heat” (1995), “Enemy of the State” (1998) and “Ray Donovan” (2013 – today).
Jolie’s brother, James Haven, is also an actor and producer, best known for his performances in Hell’s Kitchen (1998), Original Sin (2001), and Monster’s Ball (2001).
The actress has six children in total; three adopted and three biological. Her first is Maddox Chivan, who was seven months old when he was adopted by Jolie in Battambang, Cambodia. The second child is Zahara Marley, born on January 8, 2005 in Awasa, Ethiopia. She was six months old when Jolie adopted her. The following year, on May 27, 2006, Jolie gave birth to her first biological child with Brad Pitt in Swakopmund, Namibia. It was a daughter named Shiloh Nouvel. Their fourth child is a son named Pax Thien. He was adopted when he was three years old and living in an orphanage in Vietnam. Their fifth and sixth children were twins, a son, Knox Leon, and a daughter, Vivienne Marcheline, born July 12, 2008 in Nice, France.
Cancer & Death Rumor
Angelina Jolie has a defective gene from her mother’s family, which put her at an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 50% risk of ovarian cancer. Her grandmother, mother, and aunt suffered from either illness or both, prompting Jolie to take preventive measures.
In February 2013, she underwent a preventive double mastectomy that reduced her chances of developing breast cancer to under 5%. Two years later, she underwent a preventive oophorectomy to lower her risk of developing ovarian cancer.
In August 2016, she was falsely reported to have committed suicide by a clickbait website as part of his ongoing celebrity death hoax series. Angelina Jolie is very much alive and can still be seen in the film industry, both behind and in front of the camera.
