Bennifer's Bidding Battle: $15M Price Cut on Lavish Beverly Hills Mansion

BEN AFFLECK AND JENNIFER LOPEZ'S BEVERLY HILLS MANSION: A TALE OF LOVE, MONEY, AND DRAMA

The real estate market is about to get a whole lot juicier! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's sprawling Beverly Hills marital mansion has been relisted for a whopping $52 million, a staggering $16 million less than the initial asking price. This bombshell news comes after the ex-couple tried to sell their luxurious pad privately before listing it publicly, with no takers in sight.

But what's behind this drastic price slash? Insiders claim that Ben Affleck is eager to cut ties with his former wife and her lavish lifestyle. "He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined," an expert revealed exclusively to The Scholarly Note.

The 56-year-old actor, known for his roles in "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and "Air," had initially bought the property with Lopez in May 2023, shelling out a whopping $60.8 million – all in cash! However, their marriage lasted barely two years, as Jennifer filed for divorce on August 2024, marking their two-year wedding anniversary.

But here's the kicker: Ben and Jennifer aren't exactly struggling to find new digs. The exes have been busy snapping up new properties, with Lopez closing a deal on a smaller Hidden Hills mansion in February, complete with 10,046 square feet of living space. Meanwhile, Affleck has upgraded to an even more luxurious Brentwood mansion for $20.5 million.

So, why are they still clinging to this massive Beverly Hills estate? It's likely because Jennifer is using the property as her own personal playground while she remodels her new bachelorette pad. "She's still living in the house," our insider spills, "but it's not like she's going to stay there forever!"

But don't just take our word for it – let's take a tour of this stunning estate! With 38,000 square feet of opulence, Ben and Jennifer's Beverly Hills mansion boasts an array of features that would make even the most discerning homeowner green with envy. Highlights include:

• A state-of-the-art boxing ring and sports lounge
• A fully equipped gym for those who like to stay fit on the go
• Basketball and pickleball courts for some friendly competition
• A private bar for entertaining friends (and enemies?)
• A 12-car garage because, why not?
• A guest penthouse for when you have out-of-town visitors
• A caretaker house for when you need a little extra TLC
• And a two-bedroom guardhouse to keep the paparazzi at bay

But don't get too attached – this mansion has been on and off the market for months, with no takers in sight. So what's holding buyers back? Is it the $52 million price tag or something more? We can only speculate, but one thing's for sure: Ben Affleck is eager to be rid of this property and start fresh.

After all, as our insider puts it, "Ben really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined." And who can blame him? With a new love life on the horizon (rumor has it he's been spotted with someone new), Ben is ready to leave his high-profile marriage in the dust.

So, will anyone take the bait and snap up this stunning Beverly Hills estate for $52 million? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure – we'll be keeping a close eye on this real estate drama!
