Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's staggering net worth after surprise Las Vegas wedding

Newlyweds Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have both achieved plenty of success over the years - and they have the bank balances to prove it.

As well as her work as a dancer and actress, JLo quickly became one of the most recognisable faces in the world after branching out into music.

Meanwhile, Ben became an overnight sensation alongside Mat Damon, with his co-starring role in Good Will Hunting.

The movie’s success has led to a lengthy career in the box office, including roles in Armageddon, Pearl Harbor and Argo.

But how much are Jennifer and Ben actually worth? And did they sign a prenup ahead of their Las Vegas wedding over the weekend?

Jennifer Lopez's net worth

She's one of the biggest names in showbiz, so it comes as no surprise to hear Jennifer is pretty wealthy.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the 52-year-old star is reportedly worth £334 million.

The singer also earns a salary of around £36 million per year.

As well as her work in the entertainment industry, Jennifer has also made a name for herself a businesswoman.

She owns a number of businesses, including her own fragrance collection, makeup line, and skincare brand.

Ben Affleck's net worth

Ben, 49, is reportedly worth a staggering £126 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Just like his new wife, the actor has managed to earn an impressive salary for his movie work.

In 2003, he apparently earned $15 million for his role in Paycheck.

Meanwhile, the movie that seemingly launched his career, Good Will Hunting, was his lowest paid gig.

He told Boston Magazine back in 2013: "I remember it was printed in Daily Variety that we were going to get $600,000 on it. We had no credit, so we went to rent this house that was $3,000 a month, and we used a copy of the Daily Variety to get the place.

"I was like, 'I don’t have credit, but this is who we are.' And the landlord was like, 'All right, sure.' We thought $600,000 would take care of us for 20 years, so we rented nicer apartments and each bought Jeep Cherokees. And we were completely broke in a year."

Prenup agreement

It's not known whether the loved-up pair signed a prenup agreement ahead of their wedding day.

However, earlier this month, reports claimed that "money savvy" Jennifer was keen to protect her billion dollar empire.

A source told Heat magazine: "She's been very open with Ben about the fact that if they do get married, then she will have a watertight prenup drawn up to protect her $400million empire."

It comes after Jennifer shared their wedding joy on her On The JLo website, shortly after tying the knot to Ben.

The newlyweds made it official in Las Vegas alongside their five children - 20 years after calling off their first engagement in the early 2000s

Taking to the website, Jennifer told fans: "Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.

"Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world."

Jennifer later signed off the newsletter: "With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck."

All five of the couple's children were also in attendance as witnesses.

Ben shares Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
