$750 Million Rich Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez Lost a “Billion-Dollar” Opportunity With Their Unfortunate 2021 Split

When an association ends, it affects more than the individuals involved. The same is especially true for romantic breakups, and Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were no different. The ex-couple shocked the world when they announced they were dating in 2017. Two years later, they were engaged. But then 2021 brought an unlikely end to their high-profile relationship.

It separated not just the couple, but their families and businesses too. Everything was a true mess. With their celebrity status, the split also affected the former couple’s joint business ventures. Had it all worked out, the two could have been America’s newest and perhaps biggest power couple.

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez Lost the Opportunity of a Lifetime

Having spent decades in the entertainment industry, Lopez is one of the biggest self-made millionaires in the country. Almost 30 films and eight studio albums later, the pop star also has beauty and fashion lines. A-Rod, on the other hand, had massive contracts from his time in Major League Baseball. After retirement, the former New York Yankees player expanded on his business interests and is the owner of multiple companies today.

Forbes once calculated their joint net worth at around $750 million, which they invested wisely. But no one could have seen the breakup coming in 2021. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects,” the ex-couple said in a joint statement at the time.

However, according to Forbes, “Together the celebrity duo had started investing their astronomic earnings into a branding, real estate, and investment empire that, if the relationship had held, could have made them America’s latest billion-dollar power couple.”

It’s rather unfortunate how things came to an end. However, A-Rod had a lasting impact on the singer’s career.

Rodriguez Taught Lopez Something Rare About Herself

Sometimes, all one needs is a new perspective to look at a situation or even an individual. Rodriguez’s background was a little different to Lopez’s, as were their interests. The retired athlete opened up a whole new world for his ex-girlfriend with his financial background, something she still cherishes.
