Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Divorce: $640M at Stake After No-Prenup Marriage
Following Jennifer Lopez’s divorce filing from Ben Affleck on Tuesday, an examination of the financial implications is underway, considering their combined net worth of approximately $640 million.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court without a lawyer, citing an official separation date of April 26, 2024. Notably, there is no prenuptial agreement between the pair, meaning the earnings accumulated during their two-year marriage will be treated as “community property.”

A key asset in the divorce will be the $60.85 million home in Beverly Hills that they purchased last year. Originally listed in June for $65 million, the home—with 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms—was relisted for $68 million after renovations.
During their marriage, both Lopez and Affleck remained active professionally. Lopez starred in projects like “Shotgun Wedding” (2022), “The Mother” (2023), “This Is Me… Now” (2024), and “Atlas” (2024). Meanwhile, Affleck appeared in movies such as “Air” and “Hypnotic” (2023), and completed filming “The Accountant 2.”
Legal documents reveal Lopez waived spousal support and requested the court not award any to Affleck either. However, negotiations over financial settlements have reportedly been contentious, with the two parties avoiding direct contact.
Insiders have mentioned that Lopez has been preparing for a potentially tumultuous divorce. Reports suggest she is aiming to acquire half of Affleck’s $150 million net worth. Some sources indicated she felt that Affleck had ‘mooched’ off her wealth and is now seeking reimbursement for expenses she covered during their marriage.

Reports suggested Affleck had ‘grumbled about spending money,’ while Lopez covered many expenses during their marriage. She now demands a full inventory of expenditures, aiming to recoup her ‘investment.’
An insider elaborated that had Affleck stayed in the marriage, Lopez would have been less aggressive. But feeling ‘burned,’ she is now looking to ‘play hardball.’ The source added that Lopez claims to have paid for most marital expenses, from private jet bills to daily living costs.

An article from Koi Moi earlier this year estimated their cumulative net worth at around $640 million. Lopez, a mother to twins Emme and Maximilian with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck, father to Violet, Fin, and Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, must now navigate the financial and personal complexities of their separation.
It has been noted that Affleck’s grumpy demeanor contributed to the breakup. Sources close to Lopez disclosed that while Affleck is a wonderful father, his constant smoking, cursing, and general irritability were difficult to live with.

Despite these issues, Lopez and Affleck had a memorable wedding at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022. A month later, they celebrated again at Affleck’s estate in Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022, exactly two years before Lopez’s divorce filing.
