ELLEN DEGENERES—$490 MILLION

Ellen DeGeneres was born on January 26, 1958 in metary, Louisiana. Her mother, Elizabeth, is a speech therapist, while her father, Eliot, is an insurance agent. She has a brother named Vance, a musician and producer. Stand-up comedian, television host, actress, and producer, Ellen DeGeneres, who many will know as the host of daytime variety talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, is reportedly worth a massive $490 million.

Indeed, she’s one of the most recognizable people in Hollywood and is one of the highest-paid television hosts in history. Not only that, but DeGeneres is also apparently a talented entrepreneur who managed to get into a number of different businesses, including a real estate flipping business. She says she does more as a hobby. Well, that’s quite an expensive hobby if you ask us. To Ellen’s credit, she’s been able to flip several mansions already and has no doubt made millions by doing so.
