Personal
Ellin grew up with older sisters, who had him listening to Barry Manilow songs as a small boy. Therefore, he knows the lyrics to almost all of Manilow's songs. At age eleven, would get up at 5:30 a.m. to deliver The Boston Globe. Ellin moved to New York after college. He moved around many times, at one point sleeping in the front seat of his Dodge Aspen. While parked in front of a Manhattan high school, Ellin was awoken by students rocking the car. He has had a variety of jobs, including selling postal uniforms to letter carriers. Ellin has joked "You've never lived until you've measured the inseam of an angry mailman."

Ellin has been featured regularly in the "Page 6" column of the New York Post and other media outlets. He has been linked to various actresses and newscasters, but his longest relationship was with a nurse. Ellin is rumored to have been linked with actress Sara Ramirez, Olympic Gold Medalist Oksana Baiul, actress Kate Bosworth, newscaster Shiba Russell, and actress Fran Drescher.

Ellin has helped raise over a million dollars for various charities; he has been quoted as saying "I want to make a fortune doing what I love to do, and then just be a philanthropist."
