Since then, the home has also been owned by Heath Ledger and Adrian Bellani and is currently Josh Hutcherson’s house. Montecito Mansion – 2007 Purchased: $15.75 million Sold: $20 million Time owned: less than a year In 2007, DeGeneres bought a gorgeous seaside estate in Montecito, California.

She then bought the two surrounding homes to create a compound. DeGeneres and de Rossi got married at this house.

DeGeneres and de Rossi lived in every cabin on the property during an extensive, year-long renovation. Skouras Residence – 2013 Purchased: $17.4 million Sold: $20 million Time owned: about a year This home is located in the super chic Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills.
