Ellen DeGeneres – $34 Million, Santa Barbara
There was a time when TV personality and comedienne, Ellen DeGeneres, was the owner of this cool mansion in Santa Barbara, with its six bedrooms. It was called The Villa and had a media room, a delightful area for dining, and a swimming pool. But Ellen put the 16.88-acre estate up for sale, giving the initial price of $45 million, then dropping it to $39.5 million. And at last, at $34M, it was sold in 2017 to Ted Sarandos, an executive at Netflix. In 2018, Ellen did a special stand-up feature on Netflix, for the first time in 15 years, called Relatable.
