Ryan Seacrest Cashes In On Beverly Hills Mansion

Ryan Seacrest is selling his Beverly Hills mansion, which he bought from Ellen DeGeneres way back in 2012 for $39 million. Seacrest did a lot of work to maximize the property’s potential and has listed the home for a whopping $85 million, meaning Seacrest stands to pocket the $44 million difference. Seacrest also owns properties in Napa, Italy, and, of course, New York City.

Thanks to his gig co-hosting Live! With Kelly And Ryan, Seacrest apparently doesn’t need his Beverly Hills pad anymore, though he still plans to commute to L.A. to film American Idol, TMZ reports. Since those are quick trips, Seacrest likely doesn’t need his massive 9,000 square foot home anymore.

Unending Speculation About Seacrest’s Plans For Live!

This real estate move comes amid speculation from the tabloids that Seacrest is planning to leave Live!, which he co-hosts with Kelly Ripa.
