This week a Montecito home traded from one Hollywood powerhouse to another. Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres sold her home to Netflix executive Ted Sarandos for $34 million. That’s roughly $5 million more than DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, paid for it in 2013. The estate stretches across 17 acres and has a main house built in the 1930s to resemble a centuries-old farmhouse, complete with stone walls and exposed wood ceiling beams. There’s also a tennis court, pool and a guest house.

Ed Fishman, a game show producer and entertainment veteran, relisted his pad in Malibu for nearly $24 million, reflecting a $4 million hike from his original ask. Spanning 6,100 square feet, the two-story home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms.The double-lot, oceanfront residence also comes equipped with a koi pond, a wine cellar, music room and an elevator that services the garage and basement. Eytan Levin of 4 Malibu Real Estate shares the listing with Ellen Francisco of Coldwell Banker, his previous broker.
