Jennifer Lopez has always been a trendsetter. From fashion to music to interior design, the Maid in Manhattan actress is someone fans across the world look to for inspiration.
Jennifer, 56, has owned properties across the United States, from her 12-bedroom, $52 million mansion in Beverly Hills to a $15.3 million condo in New York City. But, it was her 11-bedroom mansion in Miami that really set the trends.
Jennifer's Miami estate with Ben Affleck
The Marry Me actress bought the 10,114-square-foot estate with her then-husband Ben Affleck, and worked with Manny Angelo Varas, the President, CEO, and Founder of MV Group USA and the man building $100 million mega mansions throughout Miami.

Manny recalled that when working with Jennifer, the priority was "really capturing the views and that indoor-outdoor living" — what she was asking for back then is now at the absolute forefront of luxury home design over a decade later.

Years before wellness trends took over the United States, Jennifer embedded them into her Miami home, encapsulating indoor-outdoor living into her everyday.
"The way people are living post-Covid is not sitting and drinking and smoking cigars," Manny told HELLO!. "Now, they're enjoying life and promoting being health conscious and wellness conscious overall."

"We've seen a shift from what was cigar lounges and bars and cocktail indoor space to overall wellness and lifestyle," he explained. Today, every single one of his projects includes saunas, infrared lighting, cold plunges, and steam rooms — a far cry from the wine cellars and cigar lounges of the past. He's even building paddle courts on barges on the water.
Jennifer and Ben's property woes
Jennifer and Ben finalized their divorce in January 2025, and with their separation came the listing of Beverly Hills mansion. The 12-bedroom mansion was placed on the closed market in late 2024 for $68 million. In May 2025, the price was knocked down to $59,950,000, however after not being able to sell the home even at a lower price point, on July 1, 2025, the pair requested that the listing be removed.
