Ellen DeGeneres Makes $15M Off New Home

After only living there a few months Ellen DeGeneres just flipped the amazing house she bought around New Year‘s.

CelebNMusic247.com reports that Napster co-founder Sean Parker knocked on DeGeneres front door and offered her $55 million dollars. That’s a tidy $15 mil profit, since she bought it for around $40 million.

We’re told Parker approached Ellen and Portia late last month with the offer … he went nuts over the famous house and Ellen’s interior design. We’re told even though she never intended to flip the house, she couldn’t refuse a good deal. The escrow was all of 8 days. It closed last Thursday.

Ellen and Portia quickly snatched up the entire floor of a condo in Beverly West (fancy schmancy condo near Bev Hills) for $16 mil … combining two units for new digs. But when they want real space, they’ll go to their mega-estate is Santa Barbara.
