Jennifer Lopez is reportedly seeking financial revenge on her soon-to-be ex-husband, Ben Affleck. According to insiders, the ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ singer is aiming to take a significant portion of Affleck’s $150 million fortune, despite her own net worth being considerably higher at $400 million.
The couple’s rumoured split after just two years of marriage has led Lopez to reassess their financial dynamics.
Lopez is said to have borne the brunt of their extravagant lifestyle expenses. Affleck, however, “always grumbled about spending money,” an insider revealed, leading Lopez to cover most of their costs to avoid his complaints.
“One of the little-known secrets is Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her,” a source told .
“She’s adding up all those private jet bills she put on her plastic, the hotels and meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas. The high cost of living was done on her dime. She paid the lion’s share for that $60 million mansion they bought, too. Ben took so much money out of her, at least that’s what she’s saying.”
She is reportedly demanding a detailed account of their expenditures, seeking reimbursement for what she believes she “invested” in their life together. “She’s demanding a full inventory of what she spent versus what he spent and wants all the money back she ‘invested,’” another source shared.
“She isn’t the one who gave up on their marriage and she’s feeling seriously burned and is out for blood,” the source added. “If he had stayed in the marriage like a good boy, she wouldn’t have minded. But he abandoned her and ultimately, Jennifer always gets payback and now she’s ready to play hardball.”
