Ellen DeGeneres, the famous talk-show host, and her wife Portia de Rossi have sold the prestigious "Brody House" in Los Angeles to Napster co-founder Sean Parker for $55 million and have purchased a luxury property in Beverly Hills.
TMZ broke the news of the sale noting that Parker went gaga over DeGeneres' interior design. The Oscar awards host had no intention of selling it, but Parker apparently made her a deal she could not refuse.
The home closed transaction Thursday after remaining in escrow for a mere eight days.
DeGeneres made a stark $15 million profit off the deal. She purchased the Brody House in January this year for $39.8 million.
The Holmby Hills mansion is the epitome of luxury and architectural goodness. It was commissioned by famous philanthropists Sydney and Francis Lasker Brody in 1947. The home is a result of expertise and hard work put in by startchitect A. Quincy Jones, landscape architect Garett Eckbo and interior designer Billy Haines.
The 13, 511-square-feet main residence sits on a large 2.3 acre lot. The home has six bedrooms, nine full and one half bathrooms.
Interiors of the multi-winged home feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows, mixed flooring encompassed in an open floor plan. The design of the home offers easy indoor-outdoor flow access.
Other exclusive features of the home include a spa, a gym, a swimming pool accompanied by a pool house. A large tennis court and rolling greens complete the exteriors of the home.

Plus, the Brody House is right next to Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion, which technically does not belong to him. Apparently, he rents the mansion room-by-room from Playboy Enterprises. Annual rents range from $70,000 to $1.4 million.
But DeGeneres, being the property mogul that she is, quickly invested the profit in buying up an entire floor in the luxurious Beverly West Building in Wilshire Corridor. She was repped by Kurt Rappaport of Westside Agency.
