Buys Ellen DeGeneres'
$49 Mil Estate

Exclusive

Ryan Seacrest has Ryan Seacrest

has snagged Ellen DeGeneres' amazing Beverly Hills estate, which was listed for a cool $49 million, and he paid close to the asking price ... TMZ has learned.

Seacrest, who is reportedly worth $125 million and rakes in $45 million a year (these reports are sometimes off -- he probably makes more) ... will be the proud owner of the 9,200 square foot main house, 3 guest houses, and a couple of cement ponds. The estate sits on 2.87 acres -- for Bev Hills, that's huge. It basically covers an entire block.

Our sources say Ryan is paying within a couple of million dollars of the asking price. The deal is in escrow and it will close this week.

One realtor -- Kurt Rappaport -- repped both Ryan and Ellen in the deal ... nice commission.

The house was formerly owned by Max Mutchnick, co-creator of "Will and Grace." Ellen paid $29 mil, but then purchased the adjacent properties.

It pays to have 20 jobs.

The chick featured in this photo is NOT in "Men In Black 3" ... but she showed up to the premiere in Germany anyway ... and ABSOLUTELY NOBODY complained.

Sporting a necklace ... and some garbage bag strips attached to other garbage bag strips ... German bikini model Micaela Schaefer walked the same red carpet as Will Smith and Josh Brolin on Monday.

Agent J ... meet Agent DD.
