Ellen DeGeneres has sold her Beverly Hills estate for $US47 million ($A62 million) after a little more than a month on the market, according to media reports.

The talk show host and her Australian wife Portia de Rossi listed the 929-square-metre mansion for an initial asking price of $US53.5 million ($A70 million), the Los Angeles Times reports.

The pair made a paper profit of $US4.5 million, despite accepting a reduced offer from the unknown buyer.

It has become the second-highest sale in southern California this year after another property in the area was auctioned for $US51 million.
