“She’s treating herself to outrageous shopping sprees. She calls it retail therapy and says she needs it, but the bills are outrageous. She’s regularly spending a few $100,000 a day on designer clothes for her and her entourage. The way she’s hemorrhaging money right now is madness, but she says it makes her happy so it’s worth it — end of story.”
While Lopez may be worth roughly $400 million, her financial team is worried about her spending habits. In addition to her divorce, and she is even working on obtaining a $50 million home as well.
