Ryan Seacrest Is Buying An LA Mansion for $36 Million. Here's A Look At His Splashy Property Portfolio

Perennial TV fave Ryan Seacrest is in contract to buy an expansive renovated $36 million estate, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. 

The veteran presenter, known for presenting "American Idol," "Wheel Of Fortune" and "Live With Kelly and Ryan," routinely shuttles between New York and LA. He is buying his new home from fashion mogul Serge Azria, who paid $16.455 million for the Bel-Air property in 2020. Azria undertook a three-year renovation of the home before listing the roughly 11,000-square-foot Bel-Air property for $48 million in June.

A Relaxing Mediterranean-Styled Escape

The contemporary Spanish-style home, built in 1928, features simple wood and off-white finishes and furnishings, arched inset porches and light wood beams beneath vaulted ceilings. It has a showbiz pedigree, previously owned by actress Diane Keaton twenty years ago.

 Per Azria's intent, the home was remade with a Mediterranean feel, adding four olive trees in the garden to complement the minimalist, soothing color palette. The home also features a separate pool house with a wood-burning fireplace, a 5-6 car garage, a steam room, a sauna, a terrace and two kitchens.

Real Estate Moves

Seacrest – with a net worth of around $500 million – has been as busy buying and selling California real estate as he has presenting. He listed a Napa Valley estate for $22 million in July and sold a Beverly Hills home for $51 million to tech billionaire Brian Long in 2022. Seacrest had purchased the property from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi for $36.5 million in 2012.

Seacrest also sold his New York home – a five-bedroom penthouse in the West Village – to Fanatics billionaire Michael Rubin for $43 million in the summer of 2023, as reported by the Daily Mail.

• Ryan Seacrest Productions: Seacrest's production company is behind hit TV shows, including Keeping Up With the Kardashians, E! Live from the Red Carpet, Shahs of Sunset, I Love Kellie Pickler, Shades of Blue and Insatiable.
• Ryan Seacrest Distinction: A menswear clothing line sold exclusively at Macy's.

• Casa Dragones tequila: Seacrest is the face of Casa Dragones tequila.
• iHeartMedia: Seacrest has been an ongoing presence on iHeart Radio and recently inked a new deal that will see him remain the morning voice of radio in Los Angeles until the end of 2027.

He will also continue to host iHeart Radio events, including the two-day iHeartRadio Music Festival and LA's iHeartRadio Jingle Ball holiday concert.

In addition to hosting iHeart Radio-affiliated shows, Seacrest is the annual host of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, which he has hosted for the last 18 years, earning $1 million for the night.
