Ellen Degeneres Net Worth: Millions At Risk As Divorce Rumors Swirl [VIDEO]
Ellen Degeneres was recently named as Forbes magazine's sixteenth highest earning celebrity beating Kim Kardashian, The Rock and Taylor Swift, but is her net worth at risk?
According to a new report, the talk show host is worth a whopping $360 million as she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, continue to face rumors of an allegedly impending divorce.
As In Touch Weekly magazine revealed days ago, Degeneres and the actress are said to be on the brink of divorce and with their marriage allegedly failing, a big chunk of Degeneres' net worth is said to be in jeopardy due to what the report claimed were "countless loopholes in their prenup."
"Portia will go after half of Ellen's fortune," an insider told the magazine. "Ellen's attorneys will fight it as much as possible, but Ellen wants to keep the details of the divorce private. The last thing she wants is to her dirty laundry plastered all over. She's beloved by millions, but they don't know what she's really like behind closed doors."
The insider went on to reveal that Degeneres is determined to keep her private life to herself and will do what she can to keep it a secret.
"Ellen will pay to guarantee that Portia won't go public with their marriage in a future tell-all book," the insider explains. "Ellen wants to protect her reputation and her brand. If Portia plays her cards right, Ellen will give her whatever she wants."
