Ellen DeGeneres sells California mansion for eye-watering $96million

As a devoted fan, I can hardly contain my excitement as I marvel at the extraordinary journey Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have embarked upon. The sale of their jaw-dropping $96 million mansion in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County, marks not just a significant milestone in real estate history, but also an intriguing chapter in the lives of two extraordinary individuals who’ve captivated us for decades.


Ellen DeGeneres and her spouse, Portia de Rossi, have recently closed a deal worth $96 million for their expansive California estate. What a fantastic sale!

In 2022, I became the proud owner of a breathtaking 10-acre estate nestled in the heart of Carpinteria, and let me tell you, it was no small feat! This monumental purchase set a new record for the largest real estate deal ever made in Santa Barbara County, a milestone I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of.

According to property documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal, it was discovered that she had sold her coastal property for a significant loss of approximately $96 million within just two years, with the sale going to an organization connected to mining tycoon Robert Friedland.

In the celebrity-filled town of Carpinteria, DeGeneres acquired a grand Tuscan-style mansion that spanned over 9,000 square feet, featuring five spacious bedrooms and no less than eight luxurious bathrooms distributed across three stories.

The house boasted lofty wooden ceiling structures, wooden flooring, arches made of stone, and elegant touches of marble.

The primary suite came with a spa-equipped terrace, as well as dual walk-in closets and baths.

Located near Santa Barbara and Montecito, the estate features a private beach near the bluff. 

Carpinteria is also home to stars like Kevin Costner and filmmaker George Lucas

Ellen DeGeneres and Friedland seemingly traded houses, as evidenced by documents indicating that the famed duo purchased the Santa Barbara property they previously sold to him for $32 million in the same year.

In around 1919, the house is situated on approximately eight acres of land. The couple purchased an empty, three-acre plot adjacent to them for six million dollars from a different seller.

In July, DeGeneres announced she is ‘done’ with showbiz once her Netflix special drops.

66-year-old comedian Ellen DeGeneres is currently on her goodbye tour titled “Ellen’s Last Stand… Up,” and the last performances of this tour will be recorded for an online streaming service.

She had her latest tour back in 2018, which was four years prior to the conclusion of her daytime talk show, that came to an end surrounded by numerous accusations about its harmful work atmosphere.

Last month at Santa Rosa, she talked about stepping away from the limelight, and even quipped that she might soon be criticized as “outdated, lesbian, and grumpy,” as reported by SFGate.

When questioned if she might return sometime in the future, she firmly shut down the possibility.

As a longtime fan of Ellen DeGeneres’ comedic talent and inspiring personality, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as she announced that her upcoming Netflix special will mark the end of her career in stand-up comedy. Over the years, her wit and charm have brought laughter to countless audiences, while also serving as an important voice for inclusivity and acceptance.

In my excitement, I can hardly contain myself! It’s been a whirlwind since we last crossed paths in beautiful Santa Rosa. Let me fill you in on all the amazing things that have happened to me since then!

‘I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.’
