Selling Sunset: Chelsea’s BFF Ellie has own show and huge fortune from Skechers family
Chelsea Lazkani joined The Oppenheim Group ladies in season 5 of Selling Sunset, during which she introduced her friend, Ellie Greenberg. Here’s what we know about her fellow Brit.
Chelsea Lazkani left an impression on fans when she joined Selling Sunset as the only Brit. She brought more of the gloomy UK to sunny Los Angeles when she was joined by her Welsh pal Ellie in season 5 episode 8.
The Netflix star, 30, toured a stunning $9 million property with her friend, so let’s find out more about Ellie Greenberg and her Skechers family.
Chelsea Lazkani introduces viewers to Ellie Greenberg
Judging by her debut on Selling Sunset season 5, Chelsea Lazkani oozes confidence and has extensive connections in the real estate world.
Season 5 episode 8 saw Chelsea unite with her “fabulous” longtime friend and client, Ellie, to view a house in the Palisades.
Chelsea said: “Her family owns the Skechers shoe empire and she’s actually built a pretty impressive business herself of buying and selling real estate. She has an extensive real estate portfolio.”
Ellie seemed impressed by the property but wasn’t keen that there was still construction work going on.
Selling Sunset: Ellie is a part of the Skechers family
During Selling Sunset, Ellie revealed that she loves shopping and clearly enjoys letting loose as she was disappointed when she was told that the house was located in a quiet neighborhood. “See, I don’t like that, though, that it’s a quiet neighborhood,” she said. “This would be a great s*** pad.”
Chelsea and Ellie two met years ago at a house party at Manhattan Beach: “We clicked instantly because she’s one hundred percent about her business and one hundred percent wild,” the Netflix star recalled.
Ellie is married to Joshua Greenberg, who is senior vice president at Skechers USA. He is the youngest son of the shoe brand’s founder, Robert Greenberg. The family was ranked 163 on Forbes’ America’s Richest Families list in 2015 with their $1.5 billion net worth.
She headed her own show
Ellie Greenberg may have only had a short stint on Selling Sunset but the real estate expert is no stranger to the cameras.
Known as “The Flippin’ Queen”, Ellie hosted her own YouTube show, What’s The Flip, which premiered in April 2022. She transformed a portable potty, a wagon, and even a CBD farm.
“This isn’t your mum’s typical house flippin’ show,” she describes it. “If you’re looking for ‘Live. Laugh. Love.’ and cookie cutter DIY, then buzz off.
For the bold and curious, welcome to What’s The Flip. An audacious new take on the transformation of property, possessions, and people.”
Judging from the show website, it has been renamed to Flipped.
Her Facebook page also reveals that she hails from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan in Wales and she now lives in Los Angeles. Ellie was formerly known as Ellie Goodridge until she tied the knot with Greenberg in 2018.
