Jennifer Lopez is turning to shopping as a way to cope with her divorce from Ben Affleck. However, there’s a cautionary note regarding her spending habits, even with a substantial net worth estimated at $400 million.
The couple rekindled their romance in 2020 and tied the knot in 2022, but their relationship has already faced challenges, attributed to personality differences and conflicting media approaches, insiders report.
Despite a fleeting moment at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where they were seen kissing and leaving together, it appears that their marriage is beyond repair as they proceed with their separation.
In response to this latest heartbreak, the 55-year-old singer is indulging in shopping sprees with friends, seeking to restore her sense of self-worth and joy. However, this comes with a hefty price tag.
“She has this divorce to finalize, which might cost her around $50 million,” a source shared with In Touch. “Additionally, she’s looking to invest in another home worth an estimated $50 million.”
“Her entourage is expanding, which has dramatically increased her weekly expenses. When she goes out, they all accompany her, leading to extravagant shopping trips. She refers to it as retail therapy, claiming it’s necessary, but the costs are staggering.
“She frequently spends several thousands each day on high-end clothing for herself and her team. The way she is losing money right now is unbelievable, but she insists that it brings her happiness, so it’s all justified in her eyes.”
Lopez’s Spending Cutback
Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, announcing that the couple had already been apart since April 26, indicating they spent neither of their birthdays nor their anniversary together.
Affleck went as far as moving into a secluded residence in the Pacific Palisades, abandoning their shared mansion as rumors of their breakup circulated before reaching confirmation.
This situation has evidently taken a toll on the singer, despite her public positivity, as financial advisors are cautioning her to “curb her spending” if she wants to maintain her wealth.
