Today the Georgia Supreme Court heard arguments from two groups vying for control of Hampton Island off the Georgia coast. Liberty Capital and Hampton Island Founders say $30 million dollars is tied up in the debate.

One of the first buyers was Ben Affleck, who helped Hampton Island make national news in 2003 when he was seen nearby with then-fiance Jennifer Lopez. After the Founders entered into a joint venture with another group of called Liberty Capital, a dispute soon arose over who had management control over the property.
