Millionaires Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez lived an extravagant lifestyle while they were dating. They lived as elegantly as any elite. Just as well, they also loved to flaunt their top-grade luxuries. They once did so at a very wrong time, and so the public couldn’t take that lightly.

‘A-Rod’ and Lopez each had a massive star value and humongous financial might. Together, they became a heavyweight financial enterprise. As a pair, they combined to form a colossal $750 million net worth. Therefore, there were no limits to their affordabilities.
The fact was thus visible during the glamorous couple’s trip for the Thanksgiving holiday in 2020. As the mere mention of the year suggests, the globe was coping with the Coronavirus pandemic. Since the entire world was shut down for a while and people couldn’t even easily go out of their houses, Rodriguez and Lopez shared images of their deluxe trip on his private jet. And it came under public scrutiny.
When Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez’s actions faced a public backlash:
While everyone was struggling with Coronavirus, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez took a flight in their private jet. Additionally, Rodriguez even flaunted his royalty by sharing an image of Lopez showing off her expensive Hermes quilt online. Neither Rodriguez nor Lopez is short on a crazy fan following on social media. So, at a time when people were losing jobs and going homeless, the public didn’t hold back their fury.
One disappointed person replied, writing, “People are really really struggling. Maybe don’t post your enormous wealth on a private plane with Hermes blankets. Compassion is all you need right now.” While another person joined in, writing, “People lost their jobs. Maybe stop posting your private jet. We get it. You’re rich.”

Yet another fan slammed the whole scene, by writing, “Just a touch-tone deaf during a global pandemic and 60 million unemployed. But do you boo.”
How did the then-celebrity couple reply?
It is unknown whether the then-power couple took down the image as a result of the negative response. Notably, they had to postpone their marriage, originally scheduled in 2020. However, their marriage didn’t go on as planned in 2021 either, as they broke up. Lopez soon began dating former lover and actor Ben Affleck and they also famously got married in 2022. Meanwhile, Rodriguez has also found love again and is now dating a fitness instructor named Jaclyn Cordeiro.
