Larter Family Builds Custom Sun Valley Estate After COVID-19 Move

Q: Now legally free from Los Angeles, where will Angelina Jolie finally escape to after years of mandated residency?

Angelina Jolie is expected to make Cambodia her main escape from Los Angeles, while likely also spending time in New York. Jolie has said that once her youngest children, Vivienne and Knox, turned 18, she would finally be free to leave Los Angeles, where she said she had remained because of divorce-related custody conditions. In interviews, she has been explicit that Cambodia is the place closest to her heart and where she plans to spend “a lot of time.” That fits her long-standing personal ties there. Her eldest son Maddox is from Cambodia, she owns a home there, and she has deep philanthropic roots in the country through the Maddox Foundation. She has even described Cambodia as “home” in her heart. New York has also been mentioned as a possible base, especially for work and family travel. But the clearest answer to where she is likely to go now that she is legally free is Cambodia. One practical complication remains: she has been trying to sell her Los Angeles home, the historic former Cecil B. DeMille estate. So while her exit may not be immediate, the direction of travel appears clear.

Q: How did a $130,000 Formula 1 car become the ultimate living room centerpiece for one Las Vegas family?

A $130,000 Formula 1 display became the ultimate living-room centerpiece for the Thievin family because it fused their home, careers and lifelong racing identity into one dramatic installation. Romain and Doreen Thievin, former racers who now run Speed Vegas in Las Vegas, installed a full-size replica of the Lotus 97T—the car Ayrton Senna drove to his first Formula 1 Grand Prix victory in 1985—on the wall above their fireplace. The replica itself cost about $70,000, but the total rose to roughly $130,000 once engineering, mounting, a custom wall and lighting were added to safely suspend the 800-pound, 15-foot-long car vertically. The piece was not chosen as decoration alone. The couple said motorsports defines both their personal and professional lives. They met at a racetrack, work together at Speed Vegas, and even gave their children middle names inspired by racing legends Senna and Hamilton. In that context, the car became a symbol of how fully racing shapes their family. The installation also fit their broader redesign of the Henderson estate, which they bought in 2025 after abandoning plans to build nearby. They wanted to add warmth and character to a modern house they felt was too cold and dark. The floating F1 car delivered that “wow” factor while turning the living room into a statement space that reflects exactly who they are.

Q: What secret significance does a secluded island hold for Archie and Lilibet's first visit to their grandmother's resting place?

The secluded island’s significance is that it is Princess Diana’s private burial site at Althorp, making Archie and Lilibet’s visit their first known opportunity to see both their grandmother’s childhood home and the place where she is laid to rest. Diana is buried on an island in the middle of Oval Lake on the Spencer family’s Althorp estate in Northamptonshire. The grave was deliberately placed there by her family to protect it from becoming a public attraction and to allow her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, to visit in privacy. Charles Spencer has said that privacy was a central reason for choosing the island location. That makes the visit especially meaningful for Archie and Lilibet. It was not simply a stay at a historic family estate, but a private family pilgrimage to a site bound up with Harry’s personal history and Diana’s legacy. Reports and photos suggesting Harry and Archie carried flowers have fueled the view that the children were being introduced, in a quiet and protected setting, to the memory of the grandmother they never knew.
