Despite becoming internationally famous for “Good Will Hunting”, which he co-wrote with his childhood best friend Matt Damon, it was not one of his highest-paying films. His biggest paycheck came with “Paycheck” in 2003.

Is Jennifer Lopez richer than Ben Affleck?

Both are great actors, but if we talk about who is wealthier in the couple, Jennifer Lopez undoubtedly takes the lead over Ben Affleck, especially because she has her income as a singer in addition to multiple investments.

According to Marca, the pop star earns around $10 million for each movie she stars in, and in 2012, she managed to earn $50 million with her “Dance Again” world tour, so her earnings differ from those of the actor.

Jennifer Lopez’s net worth in 2024 is significantly higher than Ben’s, with a difference of about $250 million to date. Therefore, she is the wealthier member of the relationship.

Ben Affleck’s real estate holdings

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, once one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, spent $17.55 million in 2009 on a house in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, but in 2018, they sold it to Adam Levine.

After their separation, the actor purchased a mansion in 2018 for $19 million in the same area. The home featured 13,450 square feet, seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a large patio, and a pool area.

However, in 2022, the star who played Batman put it on the market for $29.995 million. Two weeks later, he found a buyer at the same asking price, which is not easy to achieve.
