Here’s everything you need to know about the home Jen and Ben just dropped US$64 million on.

The last minute change of heart

Hello magazine reports the sprawling eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion is located in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood. The wealthy area is just north of Santa Monica and central Los Angeles. The couple pulled out of another pending deal on a house in the same neighbourhood after they put in an offer on this US$64 million mansion. Affleck and Lopez were initially in for a US$34.5 million home, but that price almost doubled when they viewed this estate.

The mansion’s former wealthy owners

New York Post reports the mansion wasn’t even listed for a week before the couple made an offer.

It was previously owned by Gregory Milken and his wife EJ, one of the wealthiest couples in the city. According to Dirt, the gaming financier bought the home in 2009.

Milken is the eldest son of billionaire Michael Milken, who was known as the “junk bond king”. Milken junior has made a name for himself as the co-founder and managing partner of March Capital, with a specific focus on gaming.

When the house was first listed, it drew immediate attention because of its owners. Of course, the mansion, which falls in the exclusive Riviera pocket of the Pacific Palisades, only appeared on even more people’s radars after Hollywood’s hottest couple put their name on the buyers’ list.

The incredible facilities

When you’re dropping US$64 million on a house, you can bet it will be filled with the best amenities. Hello reports the mansion has a media room, pool and spa. Lopez is something of a fitness fanatic and has clearly made sure her new pad is equipped for all her needs. According to the magazine, the home also has an 800 sq ft gym.
