Boring town aside, Ferrell is still fond of California. We know this from all his big investments there. In January 2016, ESPN FC made an announcement with regards to Will Ferrell. It simply said this:

Another investment that Will Ferrell is involved in is the startup website funnyordie.com. This is a less surprising investment for Ferrell, as it is a comedy website.

Estimates put its value at 100 to 300 million Dollars. It has also received Emmy nominations. The series starring Zach Galifianakis -Between Two Ferns- won an Emmy.
