Her 2010 film Salt was a significant box office success, earning approximately $293.5 million globally. That same year, she co-starred in The Tourist, which, despite negative reviews from critics, managed respectable earnings.
After a break of more than three years, Jolie returned to the screen in 2014 with Maleficent, which became her highest-grossing film to date, earning over $757 million worldwide and reaffirming her status as a global box office draw.
Jolie has been deeply committed to humanitarian causes. Since 2001, she has worked extensively with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Appointed as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador until 2012, she was then promoted to Special Envoy by High Commissioner António Guterres.
In her role, Jolie advocated for refugees and displaced communities, participating in field missions across Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq. She has pushed for stronger support for child immigrants and vulnerable children in both the United States and developing nations. Recognitions for her humanitarian efforts include the UNHCR Humanitarian Award (2002), the Global Humanitarian Award (2005), and the Freedom Award (2007).
Jolie was in a serious relationship at the age of 14, and her first marriage was to actor Jonny Lee Miller on March 28, 1996. The couple separated in 1997 and officially divorced in 1999. She was also involved with model-actress Jenny Shimizu during the same period and later married actor Billy Bob Thornton in May 2000, divorcing in May 2003.
Jolie began a high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt in the mid-2000s, and the two married in 2014. They have six children together, including three adopted: Maddox Chivan (2002), Zahara Marley (2005), and Pax Thien (2007). She gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel in 2006 and twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline in 2008. Jolie and Pitt later divorced in 2019.
In 2013, at the age of 37, Jolie publicly revealed that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carried the BRCA1 gene mutation, which significantly increased her risk of developing breast cancer. Following the surgery, she had reconstructive procedures involving implants and allografts.
Jolie chose to make her medical experience public to raise awareness and encourage other women to undergo genetic testing when at risk. Her openness has been credited with significantly influencing public discourse on preventative healthcare and women's health issues.
