Why No One Wants Ben Affleck & JLo’s $68M Mansion—And The Fortune They Keep Bleeding!
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Though their relationship officially ended months ago, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are still financially tied to the luxurious mansion they purchased together before their split. The former couple’s shared home, known as Crestview Manor, continues to weigh heavily on their finances despite their divorce being finalized in January.
Crestview Manor, a sprawling estate featuring 24 bathrooms, was bought by the couple in the spring of 2023 for a staggering $60 million. However, following their breakup in August 2024, the two A-list stars listed the mansion for a higher price—$68 million. While it may be on the market, the financial obligations tied to the property remain a significant concern for both Affleck and Lopez.
The property taxes alone on Crestview Manor come to a hefty $762,000 annually, and that’s not including the $750,000 required for insurance and maintenance. Together, these costs add up to $1.5 million a year, or $125,000 per month, which Affleck and Lopez are reportedly splitting—meaning each of them is still paying $63,000 every month just for the upkeep of the mansion.
These ongoing costs are particularly notable given the fact that both stars have also purchased new properties. In February 2025, Lopez bought a massive $21 million compound in the Hidden Hills area, while Affleck secured a $20 million home in Pacific Palisades the previous summer. With such high real estate expenditures already underway, the ongoing financial commitment to Crestview Manor undoubtedly adds pressure to their already expensive lifestyles.
Real estate experts have weighed in on the difficulties in selling such a high-profile property. Jason Oppenheim, of Selling Sunset fame, noted that it wouldn’t be unusual for a home of Crestview Manor’s magnitude to stay on the market for several months, if not longer. With no buyers in sight for several months, it’s clear that the property isn’t in high demand at the moment, even with its lofty price tag.
Despite the tension surrounding the property and their split, sources have indicated that Affleck and Lopez have remained friendly post-divorce. In fact, Lopez is reported to have offered her ex-husband support when he was forced to evacuate his home during the California wildfires, illustrating that the two are still maintaining a personal bond, even if they no longer share a romantic relationship.
As for the Beverly Hills mansion, it remains unclear who will eventually purchase the luxurious estate. For now, Lopez and Affleck will continue to deal with the financial burden of owning the home, even as they each move forward with their own separate real estate ventures.
