Robert De Niro says hes running out of dinero.
The coronavirus dealt a massive financial blow to the actors finances he revealed in court, as his estranged wife asked for an emergency order to raise her monthly American Express card credit limit from $50,000 to $100,000.
The Irishman actor appeared by phone on a Skype call in his Manhattan divorce case with Grace Hightower as her lawyer told a judge that De Niro unfairly cut her monthly Am-Ex allowance from $100,000 to $50,000 and said she and their children had been banned from an upstate compound where De Niro is staying during the pandemic.
But lawyers for De Niro said he cut Hightowers credit card limit because hes taken a huge financial hit as the restaurant chain Nobu and Greenwich Hotel, both of which he has stakes in, have been closed or partially closed for months with barely any business.
De Niros lawyer, Caroline Krauss, told the judge that Nobu lost $3 million in April and another $1.87 million in May. And he had to pay investors $500,000 on a capital call, which he borrowed money from his business partners to make, because he doesnt have the cash, Krauss said.
Krauss also explained that under the terms of their 2004 prenuptial agreement De Niro is only required to pay Hightower $1 million a year as long as hes making $15 million or more in income and if his income declines his payments to her proportionally do too.

The Trump effect. I hope all of Hollywood and the sports world goes bust.
Cool, a new Trump voter. :-)
“Shut up and collect residuals, since you can’t act anymore.”
He does have a mentally handicapped son. Not sure if this money is suppose to help pay for that or if child support is separate
When you’re reduced to doing movies like “Bad Grandpa”, you know Bob hasn’t been very good with his money.
so child support would be separate
“At a hearing in June, Hightower revealed that she is fighting for half of De Niros $500 million fortune, while his lawyers argued that a prenup limited her to receiving a $6 million apartment, $500,000 cash and $1 million per year in alimony.
Even if she’s living in an expensive hotel, how much is that at the extended rates?
How much jewelry is she socking away a month at a time?
And holiday travel is right out these days.
28 million is big money to us Muppets but it goes pretty fast in the hitter league. Boo hoo on Robert. Covid silver lining.
“Robert De Niro says hes running out of dinero.”
Great sentence!
“Nobu” sounds like it could be the name for an elite restaurant. I don’t know if it is any good, of course. But, PPP will help.
“Bad GrandPa”
.
Punchy had something
To do with That?
.
He’s the “Jackass”,
Correct?
Boo hoo.
And I didn’t know you could get a credit limit of 100k on a credit cared.
Poor deprived baby, it’s only 50k now.
Wow whodda thunk the hard talking “I would punch DJT in the face” De Niro turned out to be a whiny crybaby. Boo hoo COVID-19 took my money. My name is Robert DeNiro and I am a whiny crybaby because the people I supported took my money away. Bah wah! I want my money back!
Then again its Hollywood where you get your money for nothing and your chicks for free.
Suck it up crybaby. Because you were never a “real” man. You took to playing the hard nose type on the screen to real life and failed at both.
Did in the gutter Bobby.
Oh, Bobby, you need to keep Nobu closed until at least next year. Since Orange Man Bad wants to reopen, you want to stay closed, doncha?
ROBERT De Niro, has spoken out after he pulled a controversial film linking
the MMR vaccine to autism from the Tribeca Film Festival in the US.
The actor had originally said he would screen Vaxxed: From Cover Up to
Catastrophe, but made an about turn on Saturday.
De Niro, who has a son Elliot, 18, with autism, spoke out on the US Today
Show on Wednesday, and admitted his own son had changed overnight after he
had the measles, mumps and rubella injection.
He also said he was not anti-vaccine but pro-safe vaccine, and added he
regretted axing the movie.
De Niro, 72, who is a founder of the movie festival, said: All I wanted is
for the movie to be seen and people can make up their own judgement but you
must see it.
Lets find out the truth, lets just find out the truth.
Deniro also was linked to the Heidi Fleiss call girl ring, IIRC. Tough. Hes a jerk who thinks hes a mobster because hes played them in the movies.
Like many others; good actor; dumb sh!t.
No script, no sense.
I think what really did him in was his enormous piehole.
