When love turns into a business deal, the nuances of breakups can be just as complicated as any romance novel. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce saga could be the ultimate case study in balancing wealth, fame, and emotions. It’s like an emotional tug-of-war, but instead of a rope, they’re pulling luxury assets in opposite directions. No prenup, no problem—just a lot of paper shuffling and some serious high-ticket negotiations.
After two years of marriage, the duo officially called it quits in 2024, with the whole affair finally settling in early 2025. The power couple may have split, but their financial arrangement wasn’t without a few bumps in the road—especially when it came to selling their Beverly Hills mansion.
Here’s the scoop on what went down.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s $60 million mansion struggles to sell
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had high hopes for their $60 million Beverly Hills home, a sprawling beauty they purchased in 2023 for $60.8 million. But, by the time they listed the house in 2024 for $68 million, it had one serious potential buyer—who, predictably, backed out.
This wasn’t the smooth sale they envisioned. As In Touch Weekly’s insider noted, they didn’t exactly expect the “setback” with selling their property, especially with all the renovations and personal touches Lopez had put into it. At one point, she was even wondering why no one had “snapped” it up by the end of 2024 (per In Touch Weekly).
In the midst of all this, the couple agreed to split the proceeds from the house once it finally sells, although the hefty asking price might be turning away potential buyers. Experts suggest the mansion’s worth hovers between $40 and $50 million, well below the asking price (per NewsNation).
The former couple also decided to split the proceeds from their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, though the finer details are being kept under wraps.
Jennifer Lopez keeps her $5M engagement ring in divorce settlement with Ben Affleck?
In the world of high-profile breakups, there’s usually one item that gets the most attention—and for this duo, it was Jennifer Lopez’s stunning engagement ring. Worth $5 million, the 8.5-carat green diamond caught the eyes of jewel experts and onlookers alike (via Marca). Green diamonds, rarer than their white counterparts, made this gift from Ben Affleck all the more special—and precious. Per reports, the actress gets to keep it, as outlined in their divorce settlement.
Now, let’s talk numbers. Their divorce settlement had some serious zeros attached to it. The couple’s combined net worth? A whopping $550 million. Most of that, however, belongs to Lopez—who, with a $400 million fortune (per Cosmopolitan), brought in significantly more than Affleck. Meanwhile, Affleck doesn’t need to hand over a chunk of his production company, Artists Equity, and neither party will be paying spousal support.
So, what happens to their personal belongings? It’s a clean split. Lopez gets to keep her $5 million engagement ring, and both keep their individual collections of clothing, jewelry, and other personal items.
While Lopez is eager to close the door on this chapter of her life, her outlook is not one of bitter resentment. In fact, a source close to her stated she’s “in a really good place” and is ready to move forward (via People). The source shared:
But there’s no animosity here. The couple plans on staying in touch, especially for the sake of their children, who have grown close through the years.
It’s not the ending anyone might have expected for this high-profile couple. While their romance may have fizzled out, it’s clear they’ve found a way to settle things amicably and avoid dragging things out. There are no hard feelings, just a shared resolve to move forward, each in their own way.
