Ellen DeGeneres has been making headlines for numerous reasons this year, while most of them have not worked in her favor. However, the 62-year-old comedian has upped her game when it comes to real estate.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show host has listed her Bali-inspired Montecito mansion for $40 million. However, the comedian and his wife, Portia de Rossi, have sold their mansion successfully for $33.3 million. Although the couple has not disclosed the buyer's name, the documents disclosed that the buyer is from Los Angeles, and the entire amount was paid in cash.
The couple made a profit of over $6 million as they purchased the mansion for $27 million in 2018. A couple of months ago, the couple revealed that their house was burglarized, and the officials admitted that their house was targeted because they are a celebrity.
The Montecito Association disclosed the crime was done by a person inside, and the neighborhood doesn't need to worry about future robberies anymore. However, no evidence has been obtained that the comedian and his wife have been involved in the robbery.
While the couple didn't confirm any valuable items stolen, but it was allegedly believed that expensive watched and jewelry was stolen. Due to this incident, the couple has decided to upgrade their new mansion with a fresh design and better security system.
The new property will have infrared lasers and myriad cameras to ensure no one enters their house without their permission. Lately, DeGeneres has lost a massive amount of followers on her social media as per the reports.
Since the talk show host has been accused of having a toxic work environment and insensitive towards her staff members, DeGeneres saw a great fall in her followers on Twitter and Instagram. According to Metro, the host lost more than 6 million followers on Twitter, while on Instagram, she lost over 5 million followers.
The backlash started at the comedian since one of the ex-employees, Kevin T Porter, claimed that she is one of the "meanest people alive.” Since then, many former and current people working on the show came forward to support the accusations.
The studio began the internal investigation, which eventually led producers Kevin Leman and Ed Glavin along with co-executive producer Jonathan Norman to exist the Daytime Emmy Award show. The recent backlash took place after DeGeneres suggested Khloe Kardashian to start her own Keeping Up with the Kardashians spin-off.
