Factoring in the broker's commission, a new tax on high-value properties, and substantial investments in improvements, they are expected to incur a multi-million dollar loss.

Even so, the pair parted with $60,850,000 to secure their vast estate nestled high in the Beverly Hills mountains. This was a bargain as the original asking price for the five-acre Wallingford Estate in Beverly Hills, California was $135 million.

As soon as the deal was sealed, Lopez and Affleck immediately began moving into their new home, creating a lively atmosphere with their belongings stacked in the driveway, amid furniture, paintings, rugs, and a sea of moving boxes.

After marrying in 2022, Affleck listed his Pacific Palisades bachelor pad for close to $30 million and relocated to live with his new wife and her twins, Max and Emme Muniz, in the meantime.

Lopez made a similar move in February and reportedly sold her Bel-Air home for a substantial $42.5 million. Now, Affleck is living in a rental while Lopez is reportedly looking for a new residence.
