The Elle writer who interviewed Jennifer Lopez at her Brookville home for the magazine's September cover story writes that “'house' is an understatement on par with calling Stephen Hawking 'bright.' It’s less house than estate — compound, even — hidden behind a gate at the end of an all-but-unlabeled street that I completely overshot while driving here. It’s less 'MTV’s Cribs' than it is Robb Report." Lopez gives the interview in her office, which the writer describes as "less workspace than trophy room. As it should be, really; with Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, having sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide between them, that’s a lot of platinum and gold plaques to display on the dark-honey wood walls. Add in the various Grammys, AMAs, and other awards, and I half expect to see a PhD diploma in astrophysics tucked in among the hardware. But there’s a desk, so it’s an office — and behind the desk sits Jennifer Lopez." Read more about Lopez's house -- and see photos -- here.
