Ellen Degeneres
Price: $45 million*
Location: Santa Barbara, CA
Oprah was the first, but Ellen Degeneres was the next daytime TV queen. Ellen is one of the most prominent women in show business, with a fortune to match. The actress and her wife Portia advertised their Santa Barbara mansion for $45 million, so what makes it so special? Wallace Frost designed the villa-style residence in the 1930s, and John Saladino refurbished it. Ellen and Portia then added their own touches, such as not one, but two libraries. Unlike some of the other homes in the neighborhood, it is not a modern masterpiece, but rather one that feels much older than its years.
