Oprah's then acquired actor Jeff Bridges' former home in Montecito. Like Seamair Farm, the ranch, which spans four acres (1.5ha), borders the Promised Land estate. The TV legend clinched the deal in November 2019, paying $6.85 million (£5.4m) to secure the property adjacent to her own.

Oprah got herself another bargain having paid the same price Bridges bought the ranch for in 2014, though the actor spent a fortune remodelling the Spanish Revival home following a landslide in 2018 that caused extensive damage.

The property was originally listed by Bridges for almost $8 million (£6.2m), according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
