This sprawling American estate was bought by Ellen in 2006 for a reported $15.8 million (£12.8m), according to Variety. However, the comedian didn't hang onto the vast Montecito mansion for long, selling it on the following year to former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, for a cool $20 million (£16.2m).

Sitting on over four acres of land, the house was built in 1926 and offers four luxurious bedrooms and four bathrooms, including the huge master suite, which has 1,300 square feet of floor space. If that wasn't enough, the significant property also comes with a guest house for hosting VIP visitors in style.

Outside within the manicured grounds, you'll also find a studio, tennis court and extensive gardens with a meditation area. With a history steeped in celebrity names, the property was famously the location of Kim Kardashian's lavish wedding to former professional basketball player, Kris Humphries, in August 2011. The wedding reportedly cost $10 million (£8.1m) but in true celebrity style, they separated after just 72 days of marriage.
