She reportedly added custom hand-raked limestone fireplace surround in the living room and had two additional bathrooms built. Gross also added a smart home systems to the property.

‘If Ellen is buying it, lived there or owns it, it’s a great piece of property,’ he said.
According to House Beautiful, DeGeneres had purchased the home in 2015 for $15.995million and flipped it before selling to Gross.
The comedian has developed quite the reputation for flipping high-end homes.
Gross, who has an extensive property portfolio, filed for divorce from Bill Gross in 2016 after 31 years of marriage.
In 2018, Bill was accused of spraying his $20million marital home with fart spray after he was forced to hand over the keys to the mansion to Gross as part of a divorce settlement.
Gross claimed that Bill sprayed noxious scents around the home and even crammed dead fish into air vents, making her life ‘an unmitigated nightmare’ for several months.
She noted when she finally gained access to the property it had been left in a ‘state of utter chaos and disrepair’.
