However, Deadline<\/a> previously reported Ben likely made \u201can eight-figure quote\u201d for his role as Batman in the DC Universe, specifically in the Justice League<\/i>\u00a0movie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But the Way Back\u00a0<\/i>star wasn\u2019t always earning such an impressive paycheck for his talents. He began acting as a kid and teenager while living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with his family. Thanks to his large stature, he was often cast as a jock. In the early 1990s, he scored small roles in films\u00a0Daddy<\/i>,\u00a0Buffy the Vampire Slayer\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0School Ties<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As most fans know, Ben\u2019s breakout career moment was 1997\u2019s\u00a0Good Will Hunting<\/i>, which he wrote and starred in with childhood friend\u00a0Matt Damon<\/b>. This not only won the writing duo an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, but the flick also cemented both of their careers and launched them into the A-list status they still hold today.<\/span><\/p>\n Following the success of\u00a0Good Will Hunting<\/i>, the\u00a0Deep Water<\/i>\u00a0actor went on to star in Armageddon, Shakespeare in Love, Pearl Harbor, Changing Lanes <\/em>and Daredevil.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Besides acting, the Hollywood hunk\u2019s first directing gig was 2007\u2019s\u00a0Gone Baby Gone<\/i>\u00a0followed by\u00a0The Town<\/i>, which he wrote, produced and directed, in 2010.\u00a0Argo<\/i>\u00a0was also a huge directorial success for Ben in 2012.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ben and Matt set up their own production company in 1998 called Pearl Street Films. They later formed another production company called LivePlanet.<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, the\u00a0Gigli<\/i>\u00a0star <\/b>has experienced many ups and downs in his personal life. He attended residential therapy for alcoholism in 2001 and returned again<\/a> in 2017 and 2018, amid his divorce from ex-wife\u00a0Jennifer Garner<\/b>, with whom he shares kids<\/a> Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. In 2019, Ben acknowledged he relapsed after photos circulated of him falling down drunk while leaving a Halloween party.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt was just a slip \u2026 I\u2019m not going to let it derail me,\u201d he later told a member of the media shortly after the incident while outside the\u00a013 Going on 30<\/i>\u00a0actress\u2019 home, according to TMZ<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Prior to his marriage to Jennifer, whom he met while filming 2003\u2019s Daredevil<\/em>, Ben was engaged to Jennifer Lopez<\/b> from 2002 to 2004. Though they called it quits, Ben and J. Lo reunited 17 years later and got engaged<\/a> in April 2022 after nearly one year of dating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On top of his many memorable film performances, Ben starred alongside Jennifer in back-to-back Dunkin\u2019 Super Bowl commercials in 2023 and 2024, for which he raked in millions of dollars. He was paid an estimated $10 million for his first spot, according to multiple reports, and may have earned even more the second time around.<\/p>\n And Ben didn\u2019t just star in the ads: he had a big hand in their conception and creative execution, too. Both Dunkin\u2019 big game ads were made by Artists Equity, the production company owned by Ben and Matt Damon.<\/p>\n In addition to paying the Air<\/em> star for his role in the commercials, Dunkin\u2019 also reportedly made a significant donation to the Eastern Congo Initiative, Ben\u2019s humanitarian aid nonprofit.<\/p>\n In February 2024, Jennifer released a three-part multimedia project based on her off-again-on-again relationship with Ben. The project includes her ninth studio album, This Is Me\u2026Now<\/em>, as well as an accompanying film and documentary.<\/p>\n The documentary, called The Greatest Love Story Never Told<\/em>, is named after a series of private letters that Ben wrote to Jen over the years.<\/p>\n Although it is unclear what percentage of earnings Ben will receive from Jennifer\u2019s entirely self-financed project, the \u201cLet\u2019s Get Loud\u201d singer told Variety<\/em> during a February 13, 2024, interview it cost her a whopping $20 million total to make.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Is Ben Affleck\u2019s Net Worth?<\/h2>\n
