Ryan Seacrest buys Ellen DeGeneres’ $49 million mansion

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Seacrest has money to burn! The American Idol host and TV product has splashed out on Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi‘s $49 million Beverly Hills mansion.

Ryan is thought to have paid within a few million dollars of the massive asking price with the deal agreed and set to close this week.

Ellen and Portia have sold the property at a loss after spending $48 million assembling the huge estate. They bought the $30 million 9,500-square-foot single-story house and spent millions more on the surrounding properties, before beginning extensive renovation work.

The home sits on 2.87 acres just off Coldwater Canyon — near the Santa Monica Mountains — behind gates on its own street and also includes two guesthouses totaling 15,000 square feet, a three bedroom house, and according to official listings “every conceivable amenity and state-of the-art security”.
