What is Robert De Niro’s Net Worth and Salary?

Robert De Niro is an American Director, Producer of Film, and Stage Actor who has a net worth of $500 million. He was born and raised in New York and attended the Lee Strasberg-run Actor’s Studio and the Stella Adler Conservatory, two of the most renowned acting programs in the city.

Robert appeared in several now-classic movies set in and around New York City throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, including “Taxi Driver” and “New York, New York,” among others, all of which were directed by fellow New Yorker Martin Scorcese.

He became a renowned actor thanks to his outstanding work in movies like “The Godfather, Part II,” “Bang the Drum Slowly,” and “Mean Streets,” for which he received an Oscar. For years, there were honors and amazing performances.

Childhood

Robert De Niro was born in New York City on August 14, 1943. His parents were both painters. His father Robert De Niro Sr. was an abstract expressionist painter and sculptor, and his mother Virginia Admiral was a painter.

Robert was groomed by his mother in Greenwich Village after his parents separated when he was three years old.

He made his stage debut at the age of 10 as the Cowardly lion in his school’s performance of “The Wizard of Oz.” Thus, the acting bug was discovered.

By the time he was 16 years old, he had quit school to pursue his acting goals. Legendary teachers Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler were De Niro’s instructors.

At the age of 20, Robert was cast in his debut movie, “The Wedding Party,” directed by Brian De Palma. In the movie “Hi Mom,” the two would work together once more.

Robert did not become well-known until he portrayed a baseball player who was near death in the movie “Bang the Drum Slowly.” With the release of the movie “Mean Streets,” De Niro and director Martin Scorsese started a relationship that would last for decades.

As a youthful Don Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather II,” De Niro won his first Oscar in 1974.

Business Initiatives

In addition to his work as an actor, Robert De Niro and Nobu Matsuhisa co-founded the wildly popular Nobu restaurant group. There are already more than 40 Nobu restaurants worldwide.

According to reports, the Nobu empire brings in several hundred million dollars annually. Robert also shares ownership of the New York City hotel The Greenwich.

On the island of Barbuda in the Eastern Caribbean, a luxury resort dubbed “Paradise Found” was unveiled in 2017 by Australian billionaire James Packer and his brother, Robert.

Film Success

From “Taxi Driver” to “Deer Hunter,” which garnered Robert a second Academy Award nomination, he delivered a streak of critically lauded performances.

He would become a cultural legend after playing Travis Bickle in “Taxi Driver.” His (De Niro’s) impromptu comment, “You talking to me,” would later become a well-known quote in American movies.

Robert De Niro is a tenacious method actor. To play Travis Bickle, he worked as a cab driver. He resided in Sicily for “Godfather II.” For “New York, New York,” he acquired saxophone proficiency.

He put it all to the test in 1980 when he took on the role of boxer Jack Lamotta in Martin Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.” De Niro picked up boxing and put on 60 pounds for the role. Robert eventually won an Academy Award for best actor for the role, so the effort would show to be well worth his time.

With “A Bronx Tale” in 1993, De Niro made his filmmaking debut. Based on Chazz Palminteri’s one-man play on his rambunctious adolescence, the movie was written by his fellow performer.

Despite being scorned, the movie has attracted a limited audience since its premiere. De Niro wouldn’t take the helm once more until “The Good Shepherd” in 2006.

Personal Life

In New York, where he currently resides, De Niro is dedicated to developing the TriBeCa neighborhood. The Tribeca film festival, TriBeCa productions, and The Tribeca grill are places where he has put his time and money.

Grace Hightower and he were wed in 1997. Within a year, the two would become parents to a son named Elliott. Raphael, another kid from De Niro’s previous marriage to Dianne Abbott, is in addition to Elliot.

Drena, a child from one of Abbott’s previous relationships, was adopted by him. Additionally, he is the father of twin sons, who were created through surrogate mother-assisted in vitro fertilization.

The couple reconciled after Robert filed for divorce in 1999, but they didn’t truly end their relationship until 2018. In a few paragraphs, more information on their divorce litigation.

Divorce Struggle

In June 2019, Robert’s ex-wife Grace Hightower submitted court documents as part of their protracted divorce, providing detailed information about their assets and finances.

Grace’s statement claims that Robert has a net worth of at least $500 million and earned $250 to $300 million between 2004 and 2018 alone, much of it from his growing Nobu empire.

Grace would be entitled to a $6 million condo, $500,000 in cash, half the value of their primary property, and $1 million per year for as long as they were married, according to the provisions of a prenup that the couple signed in 2004.

However, Ms. Hightower filed petitions asking for 50% of the actor’s money, claiming that he had misled her about his finances for more than ten years.

According to court filings, a later interpretation of the prenuptial agreement required Robert to give Grace $1 million in any year he made at least $15 million, which is the majority of the time. He would compensate Grace proportionately less if he made less money.

As the divorce battle dragged on, Grace complained to the court in July 2020 that Robert had unfairly reduced her American Express stipend from $100,000 to $50,000 per month.

In his statement, De Niro stated that the COVID-19 situation had caused a decline in his revenue and the collapse of his corporate empire.

According to reports, he had to borrow $500,000 to assist pay off some of Nobu’s growing obligations. Nobu allegedly lost $3 million in April and $1.9 million in May, according to his attorneys.

Robert De Niro would be “fortunate if he makes $7.5 million” in 2020, according to his attorneys, they added.
