Let’s talk about Ryan Seacrest, the man who’s made a name for himself in the entertainment world and, apparently, in the real estate game too. With a net worth approaching half a billion dollars, Ryan has no shortage of cash to splash on some seriously impressive properties. Fans are always curious about where the American Idol host hangs his hat and what kind of homes he’s called home over the years. So, let’s dive into it.
Ryan Seacrest’s Lavish Los Angeles Lifestyle
Seacrest’s most recent claim to real estate fame was his stunning Beverly Hills mansion. This place wasn’t just any house—it was a jaw-dropping estate that he sold in late 2022 for an eye-popping $51 million. That’s right, folks, fifty-one million dollars!
Now, Ryan didn’t just stumble upon this gem. He shelled out $36.5 million back in 2012 for the pad located at 1192 Cabrillo Drive in the 90210 zip code. The previous owners? None other than Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia DeRossi. After giving it a makeover, they flipped it to Ryan. Once he took possession, he made sure the estate was as private as Fort Knox, adding enhancements to keep prying eyes at bay.

This wasn’t just any house—it was a 9,000 square-foot marvel sitting pretty on three acres of prime Beverly Hills land. The main house featured four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and breathtaking views that stretched from Los Angeles all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The landscaping was nothing short of spectacular, with lush greenery creating a serene atmosphere.
But wait, there’s more! The property also boasted two guest houses, an infinity pool with a pool house, a detached fitness center for those late-night workouts, and even an underground garage for storing his collection of luxury cars. This place was truly a paradise for anyone lucky enough to call it home.
After Ryan took on the role of cohost for Live with Kelly and Ryan in 2017, he found himself spending less time in his beloved Beverly Hills estate. He listed the home for sale in 2020 with an asking price of $85 million. However, it seems that no one was willing to pay that steep price. The property was taken off the market in February 2022, but Ryan eventually sold it for $34 million less to tech billionaire Brian Long and his wife, Liz Day, in an all-cash deal. So, where exactly in Los Angeles does Ryan live now? That remains a mystery.
Ryan Seacrest’s New York Adventures
Back in the Big Apple, Ryan wasn’t shy about making his mark on the real estate scene either. He owned a luxurious five-bedroom penthouse in New York’s trendy West Village until he sold it to billionaire Michael Rubin for a cool $43 million in the summer of 2023, according to The Daily Mail.
In 2017, after signing on to cohost Live, Ryan started renting a $75,000-a-month townhouse in the upscale Lennox Park neighborhood of New York. This six-floor space was brand new when he moved in and came equipped with a high-speed elevator, a glass penthouse, and a roof deck. The entire third floor was dedicated to a master bedroom suite, offering a level of luxury that anyone would envy.
Ryan announced his departure from Live in February 2023 after six seasons of juggling life between Los Angeles and New York. In a heartfelt goodbye, he told viewers, “This is something that [Kelly] and I have been talking about for a long time, and it was a tough, tough decision. Last year we spoke, and I made the decision to make this my last season as cohost.”

With his new gig as the host of Wheel of Fortune starting in September 2023, following Pat Sajak's departure, Ryan will likely be spending more time in Los Angeles than in New York. “New York and Los Angeles are very special places to me,” he confessed to People in 2018, highlighting his bicoastal lifestyle.
