UPDATE: Robert De Niro’s Estranged Wife Will NOT Get Half Of His ‘$500M’ Acting Income
On Thursday, an appeals court ruled that Robert De Niro’s estranged wife Grace Hightower is NOT entitled to half his acting income after the divorce.
Hightower initially argued that in their 2004 prenuptial agreement, the 78-year-old star entitled her to half of his earnings from when they were together. She noted that they were marital assets to be split evenly. However, the Appellate Division ultimately rejected Hightower’s arguments.
“The husband’s income earned during the marriage and other business assets acquired during that time are his separate property,” reads the appellate court decision, according to Page Six.

Despite this, Hightower may still be able to walk away with millions under the prenup. As the news site notes, its states that the pair should sell the $20 million home they lived in together and put $6 million toward buying a home of her choice that she can live in with their two kids. It was also said that under the terms of the prenup, De Niro also agreed to pay her $1 million a year in alimony until she remarries or one of them dies.
