'Living Paycheck To Paycheck!' Angie's Directing Dreams Have Left Her 'Cash-Strapped'

Cash-strapped Angelina Jolie is living paycheck to paycheck, even though she's a multi-millionaire!

A-lister is "desperate" for Maleficent 2 to wrap so she can collect the full installment of her $25 million fee, claimed a source.

Jolie's decision to pause her acting career to focus on directing has said to have left a "gaping hole in her wallet."

"Maleficent 2 is her first blockbuster role in years and she's currently searching for another big movie to star in as a follow-up," the informant dished exclusively to RadarOnline.com. "Her days of taking a five-year break from acting at a time are over, simply because she won't be able to continue to afford her family's lifestyle if she does."

The actress realized dreams can't fund her ritzy way of life. "Directing is Angie's passion but those projects have only made her a couple of million in total."

"Acting is the major business in her life and she knows it's time to ramp that up even further."
