Ellen DeGeneres Relists Final LA Property Following Move Abroad
Ellen DeGeneres Relists Final LA Property Following Move Abroad.
Ellen DeGeneres is distancing herself from the United States by re-listing one of her final properties in Los Angeles, mere months after she and her spouse, Portia de Rossi, moved to the United Kingdom. The seasoned talk show host has transformed the California real estate market into her personal venture, successfully flipping an impressive array of multimillion-dollar estates.
Currently, Ellen DeGeneres boasts a net worth of $370 million and was once among the highest-paid television hosts globally. One of her last properties in Los Angeles is now available on the market at a reduced price, indicating that the swift sale she anticipated did not occur. In November 2022, DeGeneres and de Rossi acquired the five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home for $29 million.
The Hollywood couple purchased this Neutra-designed masterpiece, investing significantly to expand their extensive real estate portfolio. Known as “The Brown House,” the residence has seen considerable renovations during DeGeneres and de Rossi’s ownership. While maintaining Neutra’s original architectural intent, they have incorporated modern enhancements to improve the property’s usability. According to the listing, the house is characterized as a model of perfection, situated within the prestigious Bel Air area.
The listing highlights the careful restoration that respects Neutra's original vision while incorporating modern amenities. The couple's choice to divest from their remaining properties in Los Angeles aligns with a trend of significant sell-offs in recent years. Their most prominent transaction occurred in August 2024, when they sold a $96 million estate in Carpinteria. This property was acquired in stages, beginning with a five-bedroom, eight-bathroom Tuscan-style mansion for $41.7 million, followed by the purchase of an adjacent 6.58-acre lot for $28.2 million, culminating in a 10-acre oceanfront estate.
Several months prior, they sold their Montecito mansion, situated near the residence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, for $32 million after initially listing it at $46.5 million in October 2023. This sale was part of their decision to permanently move to the United Kingdom. The Primetime Emmy Award winner reportedly chose to leave the United States due to disillusionment with the political climate. Sources indicate that the results of the 2020 election played a significant role in their decision to seek a new home abroad and ultimately "get the hell out" of the U.S.
A source informed TMZ that the couple has no intentions of returning, asserting they would "never" reside in the United States again. Insiders disclosed that although the relocation had been planned prior to the election, Donald Trump's victory prompted them to hasten their departure.

One insider indicated that they felt "disillusioned" by the election outcome, which they perceived as the definitive reason for their exit. Their departure marked the conclusion of a real estate empire that had been a frequent subject of discussion within luxury circles. In Montecito, where DeGeneres was previously a prominent homeowner, murmurs of dissatisfaction circulated as locals attributed rising property prices to her and other Hollywood elites, including the Sussexes.
