Ellen DeGeneres sells estate for $60M
By MAXINE SHEN
The talk-show host and her wife, Portia de Rossi-DeGeneres, are putting their Beverly Hills estate on the market for a mere $60 million dollars, according to real estate blog, The Real Estalker.
They originally bought the 9,000-square-foot main house in 2007 from "Will & Grace" co-creator Max Mutchnick for $29 million. A year later, for privacy's sake, they bought the three surrounding houses for a combined $19 million, bulldozing one of them to create a private park.
Two asking prices are being bandied about, sources told Real Estalker. The main house -- with separate guest and staff quarters -- and the property's extensive grounds will go for $49 million. Add another $11 million, and they'll throw in the two additional houses adjacent to their property.
The estate has hosted both good and bad times for the DeGenereses.
They held their intimate wedding ceremony there in August 2008, but it was also the scene of a bizarre trespassing case last February, when Karen Grace Sjoden was arrested after being found hiding on the kitchen deck one morning.
Sjoden pleaded no contest to misdemeanor trespassing, got probation and was told not to contact the couple.
