Ryan Seacrest has snagged Ellen DeGeneres’ amazing Beverly Hills estate, which was listed for a cool $49 million, and he paid close to the asking price … TMZ has learned.
Seacrest, who is reportedly worth $125 million and rakes in $45 million a year (these reports are sometimes off — he probably makes more) … will be the proud owner of the 9,200 square foot main house, 3 guest houses, and a couple of cement ponds. The estate sits on 2.87 acres — for Bev Hills, that’s huge. It basically covers an entire block.
Our sources say Ryan is paying within a couple of million dollars of the asking price. The deal is in escrow and it will close this week.
One realtor — Kurt Rappaport — repped both Ryan and Ellen in the deal … nice commission.
The house was formerly owned by Max Mutchnick, co-creator of “Will and Grace.” Ellen paid $29 mil, but then purchased the adjacent properties.
It pays to have 20 jobs.
