Jlo and Ben’s $68 mill house for sale (pics)

So Zillow have put up more pics from inside their house for sale. I think it’s been decorated beautifully and even though it’s ginormous, feels very homely.

Don’t think they’ll get 68 for it though

bits of it are nice but the indoor tennis court feels very creepy and I wouldn't like huge large windows like that if I was a famous film star as I'd be too scared that there would be stalkers looking in either in the garden or with long lenses

It’s nice enough but even an extended family of kids and grandparents and staff would rattle around in there. I don’t get why Americans seem to love ludicrously large houses. It’s like they’ve lost a sense of human scale.

According to the gossip magazines, they’ve barely spent any time together all summer and a divorce is pending. Also according to the gossip columns, they are still blissfully happy but they bought a big house so they could run their careers out of it and have now decided they don’t want to live at the office.

Either one may be correct or there may be a yet undisclosed actual reason. Either way, they are happy for the public to know the house is up for sale which is some form of public statement, I’m just not sure what.

According to the gossip magazines, they’ve barely spent any time together all summer…

Maybe that’s because they live in a stupidly massive house where it’s easier to get lost than it is to be in the same time zone let alone the same room

CentrifugalBumblePuppy · 27/07/2024 23:31

It’s a beautiful house, but why the 24 bathrooms when you only have one bum hole each?

booksunderthebed · 27/07/2024 23:33

Books organised by colour.

I like the pool but its about 35000 sq feet too big for me.

I just don't know what people need with all that space. Lots of house parties?

wizzbitt · 27/07/2024 23:36

Oh wow. It's gorgeous. Where do I sign?

CrinolinMcCringe · 27/07/2024 23:47

Imagine living there on your own.

What do these type of ultra-wealthy people do when they split up?
Do they downsize or just buy somewhere just as massive and drift around in a lot of empty space with a passing butler/cleaner/gardener/pool boy?

marshmallowboy · 28/07/2024 00:15

I can't get over all of the seats. They are everywhere. Maybe they play a lot of musical chairs?
It's a no from me . I'll have to keep my $68 mill for something nicer.

FrangipaniBlue · 28/07/2024 00:33

@CandidHedgehog his social media account (instagram) has vanished/been turned off and all traces of him have been removed from hers.

It was her birthday this weekend and there's not a single picture of him or mention of him on her social media posts.

I'd say the gossip columns are correct.......

Or he's done something very very bad, or is possibly maybe in rehab or something?!

HRTQueen · 28/07/2024 02:03

24 bathrooms, is this enough 🤔

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 28/07/2024 02:18

It needs more internal walls?
I'll pass on this one.

Tiredsendcoffee · 28/07/2024 03:01

I quite like it, but I never understand when a house had more bathrooms than bedrooms. It just doesn't make sense

Inspireme2 · 28/07/2024 03:12

Love the house and dining areas, the furnishings except for the couch in the tennis area and car.

Gowlett · 28/07/2024 03:15

Wouldn’t be my cup of tea, at all…
Give me Jennifer Aniston’s house.

Media is blaming her, of course.
But I reckon it’s 100% him!

KickAssAngel · 28/07/2024 03:30

The really big rooms and extra bathrooms will be for entertaining. They can rent it out for up-market corporate weekends. If they use their home for business they can write it off against tax.

But California now has the mansion tax and it's lowering the cost of the extreme houses.

Oblomov24 · 28/07/2024 05:25

I quite like it. Too many bathrooms. Not enough garden / land. Not worth that much.

sashh · 28/07/2024 05:54

I'm totally missing the point but how the hell do you ride a motorbike on those shiny floors? Even just to get outside?

HelloCheekyCat · 27/07/2024 19:54

If you have Netflix there’s shows about real estate agents in NYC & LA, can’t remember what they’re called at the mo though!
the LA one talks about JLo’s house

Owning Manhatten?

Santasbigredbobblehat · 28/07/2024 07:49

Too big! What’s the massive building opposite the house? I love the misty hills though.

Swisscave · 28/07/2024 08:48

That’s the garage with the gym, tennis court

How many Tvs!! In one of space I see 2 at least and plain colours but it's nice.

LuckbeaLady2 · 28/07/2024 08:58

I, can't see him in it surley he would prefer darker more club (men's) like room

tiggergoesbounce · 28/07/2024 09:01

I love the pool, and I would like a bigger outdoor area for the money.

Inside just feels too big, I'm always asking where our dog is now...let alone a house that size 🤣🤣 we would spend days just hunting her down, and that'd just checking the bathrooms 🤣.

But the decor is nice, i wonder where they will be moving too, do they need a bit more space or down sizing a bit.

Swisscave · 28/07/2024 09:06

Well the gossip was Ben never liked it, thought it was too big and too far away from his kids (why they bought cash then I don’t know!) . But they had been searching for a house for two years and seen dozens and dozens of properties, they probably panic bought.

But he moved out months ago and has now bought a new 20 mil property.
Don’t know what’s happening with their marriage though
