Ellen DeGeneres splurges on $27 million mansion in return to California
After spending more than a year in the English countryside, Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have purchased a $27 million estate
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have made a splashy real estate move with the acquisition of a palatial $27 million mansion in Montecito, California.
The former daytime television host and comedian, known for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and de Rossi bought the sprawling estate this winter, less than 15 months after relocating to the English countryside amid reports they were seeking a quieter life abroad.
While the couple spent time on a farm in the Cotswolds, sources tell Page Six that their return to California is likely seasonal and not a permanent homecoming.
According to Daily Mail, the Montecito property, previously owned by a Hollywood producer, sits on several manicured acres in one of the most sought‑after ZIP codes in the U.S.
Moreover, the community’s blend of privacy, ocean views and upscale amenities continues to attract A‑list buyers.
As per the outlet, real estate analysts note the purchase reflects DeGeneres’ longstanding investment in high‑end homes; she and de Rossi have been active luxury buyers and sellers in California over the past decade.
Though specifics about the interior, such as bedroom count and amenities, are private, the price tag and location alone signal both wealth and lifestyle prestige.
