Comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have sold their stunning California mansion for a staggering $96 million. The couple purchased the 10-acre property in Carpinteria, California, in 2022 for $70 million, making it the largest real estate deal in Santa Barbara County at the time.
According to property records, the Tuscan-style mansion features over 9,000 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, and eight bathrooms spread across three levels. The luxurious home boasts high ceilings, hardwood floors, stone archways, and marble accents, creating a truly opulent atmosphere.

The primary suite features a spa-equipped terrace, dual walk-in closets, and baths. The estate is situated near Santa Barbara and Montecito, offering a private beach near the bluff. The area is also home to other celebrities, including Kevin Costner and filmmaker George Lucas.
Interestingly, records show that DeGeneres and mining magnate Robert Friedland appear to have swapped homes, with the celebrity couple paying $32 million to buy back a Santa Barbara home they sold to him earlier this year for the same amount.
