People on social media are not happy with the fact that the couple held their event at the actor’s 87-acre property in Georgia.
Ben Affleck tried to sell the property
The property features a 6,000-square-foot home deep water port and a 10,000-square-foot guest house. Sources say Ben Affleck tried to sell the property in 2018 for $8.9 million, and even lowered it to $7.6 million in 2019 but removed it in the same year after he couldn’t find any buyers.
