Ellen DeGeneres sold Malibu beach house for $13M six months after buying it from Brad Pitt

TV presenter Ellen DeGeneres has made a $1million profit by selling her Malibu beach house just six months after buying it from Brad Pitt.

Ellen DeGeneres bought the luxury four-bedroom home from Brad Pitt for $12 million and has sold it to cosmestics mogul Victoria Jackson for $13 million.

The oceanside property has sweeping coastal views of the Pacific Ocean and Point Mugu State Park, a lap pool and a modern kitchen.

Brad Pitt bought himself the 4,088 square-foot home on the Encinal Bluffs shortly after his divorce from Jennifer Aniston.

But despite being made up of two houses it was still not big enough for his rapidly expanding family with fiancée Angelina Jolie.

This is not the only change for Ellen DeGeneres.

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi recently downsized from a palatial $49 million Beverly Hills compound to a more manageable $18 million 8500sq ft in the exclusive Trousdale Estates area of the city.

Their new home was designed by famed architect Hal Levitt and built in 1958 on an acre sized plot, which includes a swimming pool.

It features glass walls, soaring ceilings, several fireplaces, a library, four bedrooms and six bathrooms, along with views across Los Angeles.

The couple, who this week celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary, sold their previous home to American Idol host Ryan Seacrest.

That property was 2.87 acres, a whole city block, and boasted a main house comprising of 9,200 square foot, three adjacent guest-homes, and a selection of sprawling wildlife ponds.
