Robert De Niro says he’s running out of dinero.
The coronavirus dealt a massive financial blow to the actor’s 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 Hightower’s credit card limit because he’s 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 Niro’s 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 doesn’t 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 he’s making $15 million or more in income and if his income declines his payments to her proportionally do too.

Ignoring his politics and personality, 30-40 years ago DeNiro was one of the acting greats who consistently appeared in some of the best films ever made. Over the past 20+ years, he's become a ridiculous joke of a man and with rare exceptions, an equally ridiculous joke of an actor.
Now, where did I leave that confounded miniature violin?
Doesn’t the dip shit understand all those leftist blue tyrants he supports are responsible for his woes? I’m really concerned about his poor ex wife struggling along with only 600Gs in her credit card a year.
Where’s the Boo Hoo girl when you really need her?
Bobo really needs to send her in to speak on his behalf to 'da judge!!!
Good. Piss on this sawed-off prick.
He could always do another Ben Stiller movie. “Meet the Dumbass” wasn’t it?
You would think maybe she could cut back the burn rate by $30 or 40K each month. At least sacrifice for a couple months.
Great news..
I'm so very sick and tired of the over-the-hill hippies who all of a sudden think the nation, especially fly-over America, is dying to know what they are thinking about whom we support and vote for, on every given day! Even your "buds" in Hollyweird don't care. I mentioned him to my granddaughter and she wanted to know who he was and if he was "still alive."
We don't Bob, so crawl back into your luxurious pad in NY and leave us the He@l alone!
I loathe and despise his greasy, unwashed look these days. Can't Bob even afford a bar of soap and shampoo?
Awwww poor baby.
Couldn’t happen to a smarmier asshole.
Thank you, Lord! Now do Meathead.
Post 16
Seems racist to me.
SO what if the restaurant and hotel he owns a share in aren't making money, that hardly means he's broke. Where is the money from his movie rolls and investments?
Finally some good news today!!!!
Well, that rocks!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer horse’s a$$.
