Ellen Degeneres| $500 Million| House Flipper

Ellen Degeneres began as a stand-up comedian until she landed a role in the TV show, Open House. She also appeared in Laurie Hill which was later renamed, Ellen. She is also known for her voice acting — she voiced the forgetful Dory in Finding Nemo and its sequel, Finding Dory. She was a judge on American Idol but thought it wasn’t the right fit and left the gig after a year. Her talk show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, remains her biggest hit as it is still running today, earning her multiple awards and nominations.

Aside from being a successful TV show host and actress, she is also a house flipper. Together with her partner, Portia De Rossi, they have flipped and sold many investment properties over the years. If you take a look at their real estate portfolio, you will find that they have made an impressive amount of money from selling upgraded properties.
