Not only is she the queen of daytime talk, but Ellen DeGeneres is also a sharp real estate investor, who has picked up some extra cash by buying, renovating and selling several luxury properties, each time earning a tidy profit. For her latest purchase, DeGeneres bought a $45M Beverly Hills mansion from Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo – and it’s as spectacular as you’d imagine.
Beverly Hills Beauty
Described as “one of the most spectacular homes in Beverly Hills,” Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are the new owners of this 10,376-square-foot, five-bedroom, 12-bathroom home, which the couple purchased from Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his wife, supermodel Behati Prinsloo. Offered at $47.5 million, the home was sold for $45 million.
