Ellen DeGeneres, the former talk show host, is bidding farewell to yet another property in the Santa Barbara, California area.

After purchasing the 11,530 square foot home in June, DeGeneres has now officially listed it on the market.

However, potential buyers should be prepared to pay a hefty price, as the asking amount is $46.5 million, more than double what DeGeneres and Rossi originally paid.

Despite the steep cost, the estate’s grandeur and historical significance make it one of the most impressive properties in Montecito.

Spread across eight acres of land, the entire estate consists of six distinct quarters, including the main house, two guest houses, a pool house, an art studio, and a staff office.

Built in 1919, the property offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountains.

In addition to these features, there are also luxurious amenities such as a wine cellar, pool, tennis court, private gardens, and even a chardonnay vineyard.

While DeGeneres, a 65-year-old comedian and veteran TV host, has yet to make a proper television comeback, she has been focusing on expanding her real estate portfolio, particularly in her own neighborhood of Montecito.

Her dedication to restoring beautiful houses in the area has certainly paid off, as the renovation pictures are truly awe-inspiring.

Interestingly, Meghan and Harry reached out to Ellen with an offer to purchase the mansion using a mortgage.

However, their intention was not to live in the house themselves but rather to become real estate brokers.

Their plan was to buy the mansion from Ellen and later sell it for a higher price than the $46.5 million she had offered.

Unfortunately for the Sussexes, Ellen declined the deal, as she was hesitant to sell to someone in debt.

According to a source close to Ellen, she has been accumulating wealth through real estate and has established connections with numerous property owners.

In contrast, previous reports suggest that Harry and Meghan are financially less well-off compared to their A-list neighbors.

Even if the couple earns substantial amounts from their deals with Netflix, Sparrow, and Spotify, they still fall short in comparison to the celebrities they aspire to associate with.

Furthermore, their reputation has suffered due to the Sparrow debacle, resulting in a decline in popularity in the United States.

They had mistakenly believed that they were universally adored and respected.

Their spending habits, fueled by the popularity they gained through their association with the royal family, have backfired, leaving them in a precarious position.

It remains puzzling why they chose to invest in a property that was clearly beyond their means.

Perhaps they naively assumed that living in such an affluent area would grant them easy access to influential figures like Oprah and Ellen, leading to lucrative job offers and opportunities.

However, the Montecito community holds a strong disdain for the couple.

Most celebrities and wealthy individuals value their privacy and do not wish to be burdened by the controversies that Meghan and Harry attract.

Instead of seeking a private life, the Sussexes appear to prioritize fame and wealth on their own terms.

If that is truly their desire, they should consider purchasing their own secluded island and allowing paparazzi unlimited access via boats.
