Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have put their sprawling Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $68 million as the couple moves to sever ties amid ongoing divorce proceedings.
The decision to sell the property is seen as a final step in their separation, with the couple eager to avoid any lingering connections.
The 38,000-square-foot estate, set on a 5-acre plot in one of Beverly Hills’ most exclusive neighborhoods, comes with significant financial responsibilities for any prospective buyer.
Last year alone, the property incurred more than $400,000 in property taxes, amounting to over $1,000 per day. In addition to this staggering tax bill, the buyer must be prepared to cover monthly utility costs, which are estimated to range between $5,000 and $20,000 depending on usage.
These expenses include security, water, electricity, and the cost of employing a full-time cleaning staff to maintain the estate.

Luxury amenities within the mansion, including a zero-edge pool, indoor pickleball and basketball courts, a state-of-the-art gym, and even a boxing ring, contribute to the property’s high maintenance costs.
A prospective buyer would need to be financially prepared to manage these ongoing expenses, which could easily exceed $20,000 per month.
Affleck and Lopez, who rekindled their early 2000s romance and married in 2022, have now opted to part ways, with Lopez filing for divorce earlier this week.
The couple’s decision to sell the mansion emphasizes their desire to completely disentangle their lives, leaving behind no shared responsibilities.
Potential buyers are being advised to carefully consider the financial implications of purchasing such a property, as the costs of upkeep could prove overwhelming.
