Ellen DeGeneres warned the public she’d be “done” with fame after her Netflix special, For Your Approval, which was released on Netflix in September 2024. But now that a rumor has surfaced about her possible move to England, Ellen’s fans are wondering how she’s supporting herself nowadays. Although the former TV host built a substantial net worth from her television and comedy career, how long could a multi-million-dollar income last now that Ellen is out of the spotlight?
News47.us has all the details about Ellen’s current net worth, her career and more, below.
According to The Wrap, Ellen lives in a rural region of England now. In November 2024, the outlet reported that the comedian and her wife, Portia de Rossi, “plan to never return to the United States” now that Donald Trump has been re-elected. A source told the outlet that the results of the 2024 presidential election was Ellen’s “primary motivation” to leave the country and live in the Cotswolds in the U.K.
Up until now, Ellen was living in Montecito, California. The Wrap reported that the former talk show host’s home has “been pocket-listed or will be listed soon.”
Neither Ellen nor Portia has publicly commented on the report.
Ellen has a net worth between $450 million and $500 million as of 2024, according to Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth, respectively.
Since Ellen no longer has a television show, and she isn’t performing standup anymore, fans wonder how she’s earning an income now.
