<p>The couple, who purchased their latest Santa Barbara County beach property for $70 million before selling it at a profit, joins a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41982378/trumps-win-has-celebrities-saying-goodbye-america-see-where-theyre-going">growing exodus of entertainment industry figures exploring international real estate</a> following the presidential election. Their departure reflects broader trends of wealthy Americans seeking properties abroad, particularly in European markets.</p>
<p>However, the Cotswolds&#8217; unique real estate landscape poses distinct challenges to DeGeneres&#8217; established flipping strategy, according to Harry Gladwin, head of the Cotswolds at the Buying Solution, who spoke with Mansion Global. &#8220;Whilst some savvy purchasers have been buying smaller cottages in good villages around honeypot locations such as Kingham and Burford and doing them up, the cost of renovation now means that owners will be unlikely to make huge returns,&#8221; Gladwin said.<br /><br /><strong>See Also: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"><strong> </strong><strong>this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>The region&#8217;s high-end market operates differently from Southern California&#8217;s luxury sector. Sebastian Hipwood, cofounder of Blue Book Agency, told Mansion Global that properties valued around £20 million (US$25.2 million) rarely change hands, with &#8220;a handful of houses a year&#8221; becoming available at that price point.</p>
<p>Historic property restrictions present additional hurdles. Listed properties require permissions for renovations, with approval processes stretching three to six months or longer. Even minor changes to windows and flooring demand regulatory oversight, extending project timelines.</p>
<p>According to Gemma Maclaran, residential property advisor at Middleton Advisors, construction costs have also soared. &#8220;A good-quality renovation would now cost about £400 per square foot, when before you could&#8217;ve done it for £200. On the higher end, that can go up to £1,000 per square foot,&#8221; she said.</p>

<p>Recent tax changes further complicate matters for international buyers, who now face up to 17% in purchase taxes. Last month&#8217;s stamp duty increase added another 2% for second homes, potentially squeezing profit margins for property investors.</p>
<p>The couple&#8217;s relocation reflects a broader trend of high-profile Americans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/why-you-should-invest-in-foreign-real-estate">exploring international markets</a>. Immigration attorneys report increased inquiries about overseas relocation options, with celebrities like Sharon Stone and Whoopi Goldberg publicly discussing similar moves. Actress Minnie Driver recently announced plans to return to the U.K. after nearly three decades in California.</p>
<p>DeGeneres and de Rossi still maintain several California properties, including their primary Montecito residence, though reports cited by Mansion Global indicate plans to list it soon. Their transition to the Cotswolds suggests a shift from quick-turn property investments to the region&#8217;s more traditional approach of long-term estate ownership.</p>

<p>Bitcoin miner IREN (IREN) rose nearly 30% on Wednesday after executives said the company had received interest from an artificial intelligence (AI) firm and mentioned a potential dividend in BTC during an earnings conference call.</p>
<p>The Sydney-based company has been approached by a hyperscaler firm (large cloud service provider) for potentially hosting computing infrastructure at IREN's Sweetwater mining site in Texas, co-CEO and co-founder Daniel Roberts said on the call.</p>
<p><br />&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Two hours ago, we got an email from a trillion-dollar hyperscaler that said they weren't interested in Sweetwater, and now they are," Roberts said without giving out too many details.</p>
<p>"We will continue not to provide guidance on specific terms or timing, given the uncertainties. Given the nature that we are dealing with counterparties, it is not all within our control. However, we continue to progress negotiations with some very large counterparties and hyperscalers," he said.</p>
<p>IREN is one of many miners attempting to diversify their revenue sources by securely hosting big tech companies' data centers for running machines to support surging demand for AI and high-performance computing (HPC). The shift started earlier this year after Bitcoin's fourth halving cut rewards by 50%, squeezing miners' profit margins. Rival Core Scientific (CORZ) <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/10/23/bitcoin-miners-are-pivoting-to-ai-to-survive-core-scientific-entered-the-race-years-ago">started the trend</a> by signing AI hosting deals for billions of dollars, leading to its stock price surging and others to follow suit.</p>
