Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
They're Hollywood royalty ruling an entertainment empire. Now all their cash and cache have landed super couple Ben Affleck and fiancé Jennifer Lopez on the pages of Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Celebrities list.
Ben says, "I think one of the things that Jennifer does that I really respect is she's an enormously hard worker."
Jen adds, "I mean my career is what it is, and his career is what it is, and we've kind of done that on our own."
But Forbes writer Peter Kafka says the kissing co-stars aren't quite on the same page. He says, "Jennifer is number five on the list this year. Ben is a mere two spots behind her at number seven."
While Lopez raked in a smaller income then her husband-to-be, a mere $29 million last year, Forbes gave Lopez props for multi-tasking. Kafka says, "She can sell clothes, she can sell magazines, she can sell music, and she can sell tickets at the box office."
But Kafka says big Ben’s big box office bucks still make him the breadwinner. The "Daredevil" star made about $36 million in the last year.
Kafka says the first test of Ben and Jen's coupling will be the box office performance of their new flicks, "Gigli" and the upcoming "Jersey Girl." He says, "If it turns out that either one of those movies works well with them as a couple on screen, that's something they can then translate down the line."
