Actor Ben Affleck gave his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez an ownership equity in a mansion worth hundreds of billions of won for free.
On the 10th (local time), U.S. entertainment outlets Page Six and TMZ reported that the two recently amended their property partitioning agreement to include a "spouse-to-spouse real estate transfer" clause. Specific details were not disclosed, but according to sources, Affleck is said to have transferred all of his equity in the mansion to Lopez without any compensation.
The mansion the two purchased together is an ultra-luxury estate bought in June 2023 for about $60.85 million (about 80 billion won). Located in Beverly Hills, California, the house spans about 38,000 square feet, with 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms and even includes a basketball court, drawing attention as a "luxury house." At the time, it was reported that the two bought it with cash, which drew even more attention.
However, cracks appeared in the couple's relationship in 2024, two years after their marriage, and the mansion was put up for sale. Some reports said Lopez felt "the house was too big," and Affleck reportedly also did not favor the house. Lopez ultimately filed for divorce in August that year, and the two officially finalized their divorce in January 2025.
Afterward, Affleck separately purchased a home in Pacific Palisades for about $20.5 million (about 27 billion won) to be closer to his children. He has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Meanwhile, Lopez purchased a new Los Angeles home in March 2025 for about $18 million (about 24 billion won) and is living there with her twins, Max and Emme. The twins were born to her former husband Marc Anthony.
At one point the two tried to sell the mansion, but they withdrew the listing after failing to find a buyer due to the high price and the real estate market conditions. With this equity transfer, the future authority to dispose of the mansion has effectively passed to Lopez.
