Singer Jennifer Lopez and actor Ben Affleck took out a US$ 20 million loan to finalize the purchase of a US$ 61 million mansion in Beverly Hills. The deal was reported by the British newspaper The Sun.

The British publication explains that Lopez and Affleck agreed to buy the mansion last May, paying the US$61 million in cash. However, last August, they entered into a loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank.

The British daily explains that the loan agreement was signed on August 31st. The US$20 million loaned to Lopez and Affleck will be repaid over a 30-year period. Despite the exorbitant sums, the amounts are considered “tranquil” for the couple.
