Ellen DeGeneres continues to expand her real-estate portfolio.
This year alone, she added three new digs to their already impressive collection of homes – the latest being an $8.5 Million Beverly Hills home from the 1960s.
Located in a star-studded neighborhood, with the likes of Adele and Cameron Diaz living in the area, the 4,614 square feet home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms and has some cool features like a pool, fire pit, chef’s kitchen and lush gardens. Some of the rooms also have furnaces for heating.
According to TMZ, the home appears to be quite dated though – it was originally built in 1961. While it has “been through at least one renovation,” the outlet dubbed the place a “fixer-upper.”
As yet, it’s still unclear what Ellen plans to do with the house. And this is far from their biggest real-estate spend this year. According to Architectural Digest, in May, Ellen bought back a property she and wife Portia de Rossi previously owned – paying almost double the price they originally got it for.
The couple first bought the historic Montecito property Rancho San Leandro in 2017 for $7.2 Million and flipped it for $11 Million less than a year later. Although they made a hefty profit during the sale, they ended up paying $14.3 Million to buy it back.
They also scooped up another $2.9 Million bungalow in Montecito a month later, according to Dirt.com. The two-bedroom mid-century home sits on less than an acre of land near Butterfly Beach.
If you didn’t know, the daytime talk show host and wife Portia de Rossi own an impressive array of properties – and they have a pretty good nose when it comes to flipping houses.
Ariana Grande’s current three-bedroom Tudor in Montecito, California used to be theirs – they paid $3.6 Million for it, gave it some serious TLC, and sold it for almost double the price just a few months later.
They also bought Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo’s previous digs – a five-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion which came with a $45 Million price tag. According to the Wall Street Journal, they sold the place in March 2021 for nearly $47 Million.
One of their biggest flips, however, was the Brody House in 2014. The $40 million Holmby Hills home, which was designed by A. Quincy Jones, sold just six months later for a whopping $55 million, per the Los Angeles Times.
