Ben Affleck's Net Worth May Change After His Split From JLo

From his first role in The Voyage of the Mimi, Ben Affleck has said he didn't initially see himself having a long career in Hollywood. Although he spent his childhood acting professionally, Ben's big break didn't happen until Chasing Amy in 1997. Shortly after, his co-writing and starring in Good Will Hunting elevated his name to leading man status alongside Armageddon.

For all his success, Ben has continued to thrive in Hollywood, and his net worth has accumulated to be quite impressive — but it seems his finances may be in jeopardy following his split from his second wife, Jennifer Lopez.

Following the success of Good Will Hunting, where Ben remains the youngest writer to win an Oscar for screenwriting at age 25, he appeared in a series of films, each more different than the last. Shakespeare in Love, Dogma, Forces of Nature, 200 Cigarettes, and Reindeer Games varied in genre and role; in some, he was playing a comedic side character, and in others, he was a leading man.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ben is currently worth around $150 million — and depending on the divorce proceedings, Ben may see an increase in his worth from the split.

Ben's stardom fell as quickly as it had risen in the mid-2000s after overexposure in the tabloids, a series of poorly received films, and personal life drama. Following his first marriage to Jennifer Garner in 2005 and the birth of his first child, he turned from being a leading man to sitting in the director's chair. He directed his first film, Gone Baby Gone, to critical success and formed a working relationship with Warner Bros. that has lasted well into his present career.

Following his split from Jennifer Garner in 2018, Ben married Jennifer Lopez in 2022. Unfortunately, their marriage was short-lived, as Jennifer filed for divorce on the second anniversary of their wedding. In a move that's shocked many, it seems the star-studded couple did not have a prenup in place.

Because of this move, we may see a change in Ben's net worth as their assets are divided between them. Jennifer, though, is the one in the relationship with the higher net worth, with about $400 million to her name, per Celebrity Net Worth.

The pair don't have any kids together, and JLo has reportedly waived her right for spousal support, which should make the divorce a fairly easy process to complete. But until it's finalized, we won't know if Ben receives a bump in his net worth from it.
