Ellen DeGeneres sells Beverly Hills home for ‘a US$19 million profit’ – after only three years
American TV host and her actress wife, Portia de Rossi, who bought the Beverly Hills mansion for US$16 million in 2015, has reportedly sold it for US$35 million
Ellen DeGeneres is busy in the real estate market once again.
The American talk show host and comedian has sold her Beverly Hills home in an off-market deal for a reported US$35 million, according to Los Angeles real-estate blog “Yolanda’s Little Black Book”, which reviewed property records.
I never buy a house thinking that I'm going to sell it ... But I learned that selling them furnished is lucrative ... [although] I haven't sold things that are sentimental or personal
The sale price was US$19 million more than she and her model-actress wife, Portia de Rossi, paid for the property in late 2015, the entertainment magazine Variety reported.
The elevated property, which sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre (a third of a hectare) set back from street view, is just shy of 5,300 square feet (492 square metres) and has four bedrooms and eight bathrooms, Variety, citing property records, said.
It features an area for parking vehicles in the front, a swimming pool in the back garden, and glass walls.
Sue Gross, who owns a US$20 million house next door to DeGeneres’s home, bought the property, according to Yolanda’s Little Black Book.
The US$35 million price means she paid nearly US$7,000 per square foot.
Business Insider did not review property records, but the county assessor most recently valued the property at about US$16.6 million.
